Bangkok is one of the most frequently visited cities on the planet. This hotbed of tourism is located in the kingdom of Thailand, the world’s 50th largest country in area, but ranked 28th in the world in terms of population. There are incredible luxury hotels in Bangkok at incredible prices, owing to local economic conditions and usual exchange rates. The city also boasts some awesome activities (apart from shopping!), like temples to visit, awesome nightlife, Thai kickboxing or Muay Thai, as well as the famous Thai massage – a decadent experience that your muscles will never forget! We look in this article at where to go, what to do and the best Bangkok hotels to stay at in Thailand.
If you have come to Thailand for the shopping, the shopping, and the shopping, then Siam is the district you’ll want to stay in. Quite central, and with an excellent public transport system, Siam is home to shopping boutiques, cinemas, bowling alleys and plenty of karaoke bars and booths. If you are after a dose of authentic Thai in Siam though, try Jim Thompson House. Despite the Western style name, it actually consists of several Thai teak houses, actual antiques, set in beautiful tropical gardens. Jim Thompson was an American who did a lot to promote Thai silk in the West. The Erawan shrine also offers a moment of peace in one of the world’s biggest cities, and has a genuine Thai feeling.
If you are staying in Siam, the Siam City Hotel is a great choice for an individual four star experience. It offers luxury with affordability, like so many hotels in Bangkok. There are hundreds of rooms spread over two separate towers, with a plush and sumptuous interior. As well as the standard hotel fare of a spa, business facilities and a health club, Siam City Hotel has an art gallery in-house, and a cafe style bakery on the grounds, if you don’t need the pressure of five-star gourmet cooking!
Shangri-La Bangkok is the first choice of thousands of travelers every year who are looking to experience the luxury of a five-star hotel in Bangkok at the price of a decent meal in their own home in the West. Shangri-La Bangkok has made luxury and quality their selling points. Free of extras, odds and ends, the hotel focuses on the decadence and luxury of your experience. It is set in lush tropical gardens, and has gorgeously appointed rooms featuring ethereal Thai silk, local artwork and serene color schemes. Shangri-La Bangkok also offers serviced apartments for longer term visitors to the city. They are located only a few blocks south of Siam Square. There are so many hotels in Bangkok Thailand, and the city’s official website lists Shangri-La Bangkok in their top ten hotels in the city.
Muay Thai is renowned as one of the world’s most effective martial arts, and the practitioners are incredibly honed, skilled and lightning-fast units. If you are staying in Bangkok, seeing a Muay Thai match is a must. . . even for the pacifists among you! Be amazed simply by the boxer’s physical perfection and their absolute control over their bodies.
Then once you have imagined all of the bruises on yourself, you can be refreshed and remoulded into a new person with a Thai massage. This massage discipline is a truly invigorating experience. It focuses on energy meridians, circulation and pressure points along with traditional Swedish massage (ordinary Western muscle manipulation). It is known as the lazy person’s yoga – all of the benefits of yoga, without even standing up, let alone buying a mat!
Bangkok is a truly unique experience, and deserves so much more than the stopover it usually is. Stay in luxury hotels in Bangkok for a fraction of the cost of Western ones, and experience uniquely Asian, yet world-famous experiences.
Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts currently owns and manages 54 hotels under Shangri-La and Traders brands with a rooms inventory of over 27,000. Shangri-La hotels are five-star deluxe properties featuring extensive luxury facilities and services.
Historical Attractions in Dublin’s Fair City

Dublin, or Baile Atha Cliath as it is known in Gaelic, is a popular tourist destination and the thriving capital of Ireland. Situated on the River Liffey, the city of Dublin attracts thousands of people every year, particularly during March for the St Patrick’s Day celebrations.
While the Temple Bar nightlife area of Dublin may feature high on the to-do list, there are plenty of cultural and historical sites worth visiting throughout the city.
One of the most worthwhile destinations to visit within the city is Dublin Castle. Situated on top of the black rock from which Dublin gets its name, the ancient landmark has been at the heart of Irish history since Celtic times.
More recently, the castle has been a major focal point of Irish politics. Although an administrative centre for the British during the Irish occupation, the castle temporarily ceased this role in 1922 after the Irish Civil war. It wasn’t until 1938 when Douglas Hyde was inaugurated as president of Ireland that the castle became a political landmark within Ireland once again.
Another popular destination to visit within Dublin – and one that provides a relaxing break from the noise of the city – is Phoenix Park. As the largest enclosed city public park in Europe, Phoenix Park is a unique attraction that draws in thousands of visitors every year. Furthermore, Phoenix Park is home to Dublin Zoo – the forth oldest zoological garden in the world – and contains more than 700 animals and birds from around the world.
Phoenix Park is also the home of the famous Papal Cross, a landmark which was erected to commemorate the visit of Pope John Paul II in the autumn of 1979. Over one million people came from across Ireland to view the Papal Cross and listen to the mass held in Phoenix Park.
Another attraction which draws a considerable amount of attention from visitors is the Old Library Building at Trinity College in Dublin. The main reason for this being that Trinity College contains the Book of Kells. The book, which contains illustrated manuscripts of the four gospels, was transcribed by Celtic monks around 800 AD and is widely considered to be one of Ireland’s most important historical treasures.
During its existence the Book of Kells has come under attack, but has always been safeguarded by the Irish monks. Originally housed in Iona where it is believed to have been written, it was transported to Kells in Ireland after several Viking raids threatened its existence.
If you don’t know where to begin with the sightseeing, then it is good to know that you can find a wealth of information available on the wide range of attractions from any of the local tourist centres and Dublin hotels. And once you have all the information you require, you can start planning that long list on your itinerary!

Dublin’s Many Attractions

<!– @page { margin: 0. 79in } P { margin-bottom: 0. 08in } –>
Boasting a heady mix of history, culture, comedy and live music â not to mention possibly the best pub scene of any city in the world â there are enough attractions in Dublin to keep a visitor happy whether they are coming to the city for a long weekend or a couple of months!
Depending on what your penchant as a tourist is, you’ll find something to delight you in the Irish capital. There are historic monuments galore, castles, old disused and slightly scary prisons, modern developments and no small amount of galleries and museums.
Dublin is famous of course for its literary connections, with the city having been home to many of Ireland’s most celebrated writers and poets. Fans of the scribes can pay homage to the greats at tourist destinations like the Dublin Writer’s Museum, home to works from the past three centuries. Here, perhaps surprisingly to the keen literary fan, they will learn that Oscar Wilde was once a talented boxer and that James Joyce was known as a good cricketer, having played in the Dublin Trinity College first XI.
Speaking of Joyce, just down the road there is the James Joyce Museum at Sandycove, housed in an ancient Martello tower first constructed when it was believed that Napoleon was thinking of invading Ireland. Today the museum stands as a tribute to one of Ireland’s best-loved writers and is said to be the place he stayed when he wrote the first few chapters of his classic Ulysses. George Bernard Shaw’s birthplace is another literary attraction not far from most of the downtown Dublin hotels.
Having sampled all that history and culture you might be in the mood for a try of one of Ireland’s other most famous exports â Guinness. Indeed no visit to Ireland’s capital is complete without a trip to the Guinness Storehouse, a six-floor monument to the black stuff which previous formed part of the actual Guinness brewery in Dublin. Today it offers the visitor the âGuinness Experience’, taking the tourist through the origins of the famous brew to how it is made today and all other stops in between. The Storehouse is home to a couple of decent quality restaurants and of course a couple of bars, naturally! A pint is best sampled in the Gravity Bar on the top floor of the Storehouse, where the drinker can enjoy a pint while taking in panoramic 360-degree views of the entire city. Another treat to keep an eye out for is the Guinness advertising section, where there is a complete history of the beer’s innovative commercials, from Toucans to surfers.
Another popular attraction and reason for visiting Dublin is to attend a match at famous Croke Park. This historic stadium is the home ground of the Gaelic Athletic Association, or GAA, and hosts all the big Gaelic Football and Hurling matches throughout the year. It is the third largest sports arena in the whole of Europe with a capacity of more than 82,000 and on match day the atmosphere is quite unique. If possible it is worth timing a visit to Dublin to coincide with one of the main Hurling or Gaelic matches, for an amazingly different sporting experience. Beware though that the city does tend to get a bit busy around these events, so be sure to book a Dublin hotel well in advance of arriving in order to avoid disappointment.
