Bangkok Break
New
Touch down in Bangkok and ease into Thailand’s capital on this 3 day break – starting and finishing in Bangkok. With time at leisure, dive into street food, glittering temples and river scenes, or opt for classic experiences: the Royal Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha, the Maeklong Railway Market where stalls fold away as the train glides past, and the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market reached by longtail boat via a palm sugar farm. Expect lively neighbourhoods, jade spires and canal life – all at your own pace – before a smooth airport transfer brings this short city escape to a close.
