A number of the most awe-inspiring temples and monuments in Southeast Asia are found in Bangkok, and it is a must for tourists to visit the Royal Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha which are considered one of the world’s greatest wonders. To embark on a canal trip (which last for 90 minutes) is advised if you want to see a number of good sights in the city without having to go on full-blown city tours. You can also watch boxing matches as Thailand is known for its traditional sport, Muay Thai.
