ARRIVING IN BANGKOK

JIM THOMPSON HOUSEThe former home of a US silk entrepreneur displays his personal belongings and collection of exquisite Asian art, as well as parts of various derelict Thai homes from central Thailand. (www.jimthompsonhouse.com; 6 Soi Kasem San 2; bNational Stadium, fSapan Hua Chang Pier)

NATIONAL GALERY One of London’s most visited attractions, the British Museum (founded in 1753) is an exhaustive and exhilarating parade through world cltures, with galleries devoted

WAT PHRA KAEW & GRAND PALACEThe vast Wat Phra Kaew includes the former residence of the Thai mon-arch, the Grand Palace. The grounds encompass more than one hundred fabulous buildings, yet the tiny Emer-ald Buddha is its primary attraction. (Th Na Phra Lan; f Chang Pier)

AMULET MARKETThis equal-parts bizarre and fasci-nating market offers small talismans prized by collectors, monks, taxi drivers and people in dangerous pro-fessions; some amulets command astronomical prices. (Th Maha Rat; fChang Pier)

WAT TRAIMIT (GOLDEN BUDDHA)Wat Traimit contains a gleaming 3m-tall, 5.5 tonne, solid-gold Buddha image, sculpted in the Sukhothai style. The statue is now housed in a four-storey marble structure. (Th Mitthaphap Thai-China; mHua Lamphong, fRatchawong Pier)

GOLDEN MOUNTSerpentine steps wind through an artificial hill shaded by gnarled trees, and past graves and pictures of wealthy benefactors. At the peak, you’ll find a breezy 360-degree view of Bangkok. (Th Boriphat; fPhanfa Leelard Pier)

CHINATOWNChinatown is a complicated web of tiny alleyways, crowded markets and delicious street food. This Chinatown is defiantly ungentrified, and getting lost in it is a fun thing to do. (mHua Lamphong, fRatchawong Pier)

TALAT MAIEven if you’re not interested in food, the hectic atmosphere and exotic sights and smells of this alleyway market are a sensory experience. (Soi Yaowarat 6/Charoen Krung 16; mHua Lamphong, fRatchawong Pier)

WAT PHOThis wát has the largest reclining Buddha and the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand, and is the country’s earliest centre for public education; Thai medicine and massage are still taught here. (Th Sanam Chai; f Tien Pier)

DU SIT PALACE PARKRama V returned from Europe with the idea of transforming European architectural styles into a uniquely Thai expression, as can be seen in today’s Dusit Palace Park. (Bounded by Th Ratchawithi, Th U Thong Nai & Th Nakhon Ratchasima; bPhaya Thai & taxi, fThewet Pier)

SUAN PAKKAD PALACE MUSEUMOnce a royal residence, within this collection of eight traditional stilted wooden houses are displays of art, antiques and furnishings, while the grounds provide a peaceful oasis. (Th Si Ayuthaya; bPhaya Thai)
