How many days in Bangkok are enough?

Okay, so, how many days in Bangkok is enough? It really depends, doesn’t it? I mean, what are you into?

If you’re just kinda dipping your toes in, two days might do the trick. You could hit up a couple of the big temples, maybe wander a market. But honestly? It’d feel kinda rushed, like you just scratched the surface.

Three or four days… now you’re talking. That’s enough time to properly experience Bangkok, you know? Think about it: you could explore the Grand Palace without feeling like you’re being herded through, get lost (in a good way!) in the Chatuchak Weekend Market, even take a cooking class. I did that once – learned to make the best green curry. Still haven’t been able to replicate it back home, though!

And even with four days, there’s still more to see. I remember talking to this guy who spent a month in Bangkok, and he said he still hadn’t seen everything! Crazy, right? So, if you’re a real city explorer, someone who loves to soak up the atmosphere and really get under the skin of a place, you could easily spend a week, maybe even longer. It’s that kind of city. Just be prepared for the sensory overload! It’s a whirlwind, but a wonderful one.
