Begin your Bangkok day at Wat Pho, home to the enormous reclining Buddha that never fails to impress, before continuing to the dazzling Grand Palace and the revered Emerald Buddha housed within its grounds. From there, climb into a longtail boat and speed through the city's historic klongs, catching a side of Bangkok that most visitors never slow down enough to see, where riverside communities still live much as they always have. Head back to the hotel in the afternoon with plenty to think about.
