Here is a a well planned Bangkok one day itinerary from Vizag can help you experience its charm in a short time.

1. Morning with an exercise!

Start your day off with an energizing Muay Thai class, the traditional martial art of Thai boxing, famous for its intense cardio and strength training. It’s the perfect way to experience a bit of local culture while giving your body an early morning boost.

2. Relax by the riverside with food!

After freshening up, head to the Chao Phraya River, often called the “River of Kings.” Hop on a boat or cruise to take in the views of the majestic Wat Arun and nearby temples glistening in the sunlight. Once you’re done exploring, treat yourself to a plate of freshly made mango sticky rice or a refreshing Thai iced coffee from a street vendor, absolutely soul-satisfying.

3. Go market-hopping!

By afternoon, make your way to the Chatuchak Market- Asia’s largest flea market. If you’re someone who doesn’t get overwhelmed easily, this maze is your paradise. With thousands of stalls selling everything from clothes and handbags to home décor, plants, art, and local food, it’s the kind of place where you’ll lose track of time (and possibly space in your luggage!).

4. Discover local heritage

If you’re not the shopping kind, head instead to Song Wat Road, one of Bangkok’s most historic streets. This charming stretch offers a mix of art galleries, heritage architecture and a thriving food scene. Grab a cup of dirty coffee at Koff and Bun and don’t miss trying their Bánh mì, a local favorite with a Thai twist. Take a leisurely walk through the lanes lined with ceramic art, vintage stores, and creative studios that reflect Bangkok’s evolving cultural identity.

5. A food feast, straight out of a movie!

After a whirlwind shopping spree or your time at the song wat Road, wind down at one of Bangkok’s famous rooftop bars like Tichuca or Vertigo. Sip your favourite drink as you watch the sun set over the glittering skyline, feel the breeze in your hair, and let the mellow music carry you away.

Before calling it a night, make your way to the ever-vibrant Chinatown (Yaowarat Road), a feast for all senses! The neon lights and aroma of sizzling seafood will fill the air. Don’t miss out on local favorites like spring rolls, shrimp fried rice, roti Nutella, and the infamous Durian for the daring!
