About this episode
In this episode, Bill shares his personal six best experiences in Bangkok, the city that never stops surprising even the most seasoned travelers. From royal grandeur to street-side grilling, he takes you through a full day that reveals every side of Thailand’s capital.
You’ll start with the spiritual heart of the kingdom at the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, then dive into the neon and flavor of Chinatown at night.
Next, drift up the Chao Phraya River on a teak rice barge with Manohra Cruises to explore the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya. You’ll ride a longtail boat through the hidden canals of Thonburi, stopping at Wat Pak Nam to see the glass pagoda and golden Buddha.
Then hop on the Saen Saep water taxi from the Trimurti Shrine down to Golden Mount Temple for sunset views. The evening ends local-style at Victory Monument with moo-kra-tah and live jazz at Saxophone Pub.
This episode captures what makes Bangkok unforgettable—the blend of royal, river, street, and soul that defines the city.
