Millennium Hilton
by Princess_Emily
Now before all of you go running off to this hotel with thoughts of getting some really nice sunset or sunrise pictures for your photo albums from the 31st floor, i would like to point out one small but rather important fact ... The elevators will only operate when you first place your Room Key Card in a slot located next to the floor selection panel, so if your not a guest, or not with someone who is a guest, your not going to get past the ground floor.
For those that do make it past the ground floor, a ride to the top floor does offer some nice views of Bangkok.
A visit to the Royal Palace...
by Svitata
A visit to the Royal Palace should not be missed. Shopping is also great for those die-hard shopaholics! What I remember most about Bangkok is the diversity of the city. One can find most everything and anything here, the good and the bad living side by side.

Always keep your cool...never get angry.
by tan1415
Have you wondered why they call Thailand the land of smiles...
The most important lesson I have learned about Thailand is to NEVER EVER lose your cool or get angry in public.
I bet in every holiday you come across a couple of situations where someone or something just pisses you off or you get into an argument.
BUT in thailand showing such emotion will only mean lost of face. And at best it will be a phyric victory.
My best advice is to just smile. When you smile you can't get angry and it's easier to keep your cool. A lot of thais will when they are in an argument try and provoke a foreigner to an emotional outburt. But if you stay cool and polite..they'll mostly give-in. And if they themselves turn emotional..you have basically won the argument.
They call thailand the land of smiles.It's true people love to smile. It's unfair to call it fake, but the smile is the easiest way to hide your emotions. And the thai makes use of this often to hide there real emotions.
In other countries you could look like an idiot..but in Thailand it's normal. So my best advice is to always keep your cool and just smile.
Because of the buddhism Bankok...
by LittleWonder
Because of the buddhism Bankok has very little violence compared to european cities. I've felt very safe walking by myself in the streets of Bangkok by night. On the other side you should watch out for theft and scams.,
