With this guide you can start to discover the best of Bangkok in just 48 hours! Mixing the finest cultural attractions, bargain shopping that you might easily miss and the best of Bangkok by night, this 2 Days in Bangkok Guide is a great starting point for anyone visiting this bustling yet beautiful city.
