• Royal Palace and Wat Phra Kaew
Bangkok has many temples visiting which is one of the most enchanting things to do in Thailand. You can start by visiting the most beautiful and important ones. The Royal Palace is the most important place to visit. This is a vast complex that was once the residence of the King of Thailand in which you will be captivated by the architecture of buildings and the holding of gardens. The details of the craftsmanship are breathtaking.
In the palace compound, you must visit the Wat Phra Kaew, the temple that houses the Emerald Buddha, a statue of a Buddha entirely covered with diamonds and precious stones. Remember to dress decently to visit this site. At the entrance, you can rent clothes (for free, for a small deposit). We will not let you in if you are not dressed properly.
• Wat Pho Buddha
Located just behind the Grand Palace, Wat Pho is famous for two main reasons – it contains a giant reclining Buddha 15m high and 46m long, completely covered with gold.
Then you can cross the Chao Phraya River to climb the summit of Wat Arun, dubbed the Temple of Dawn. The peculiarity of this temple is that it is high and is at the edge of the water. The ideal time to visit is at sunrise or sunset, to admire the city of Bangkok become illuminated little by little.

In Bangkok, the locals use the ferry on the Chao Phraya River for transport. It travels from north to south on the Chao Phraya River, the city’s waterway, which can take you past many attractions and you will discover the city from another angle.

The weather is almost perfect. Let’s have a look at Adelaide attractions
Northern explorations
North Tce: Adelaide City’s Centre northern boundary road is a must for some of the oldest Colonial Architecture in Australia. Whole buildings, if not, fronts, are completely preserved and kept in pristine condition, look the same as the day they were completed. Amongst these are, Old and New Parliament House, Adelaide University Buildings, The Royal Botanical Gardens and Old Insane Asylum on grounds, Government House – home to SA Governor General, parts of Adelaide Railway Station, Old Adelaide Goal, The Freemason’s Lodge and many facades now on retail centers.
On North Tce, you can also find Adelaide City Library, one of the oldest in AU, and with one of the oldest collections of rare and original publications from AU, and abroad.
Heading up King William Street, to the north, you can see the Adelaide Festival Centre, built in the 1970’s, a totally unique and still modern design. This is the home of the oldest modern Arts Festival in the world. It is also home to the world-renowned Fringe Festival, bringing in the unusual and oddest acts in the world. Well worth a look in.
Back to Nth Tce. Heading towards the Adelaide Hills, you can visit the Adelaide Royal Botanical Gardens, which features not only trees, plants and flowering plants of AU and the local region, but has a purpose-built Tropical Centre, which we like to call the “Pregnant Pastie”, which will become apparent why, when you see it!
Adelaide City Centre is surrounded by a complete circle of Park Lands, with a small area breaking that circle along North Tce. These parklands contain many varied gardens from different areas from around the world, and some of the gardens contain restaurants and tea/coffee houses.
In North Adelaide, an adjunct to the City Centre, traditional architecture continues in the old churches and Uni and Torrens Parade Grounds, a Defence Force parading area. Here are lots of upmarket coffee shops and restaurants, as well as you many traditional pizza and fish & chipperies.
Still, in the City Area, a visit to Adelaide Oval is worth it, whereof not you are a sports fan, just for the spectacle.
In the Centre Shopping area, Rundle Mall is King. Here is, what once was, the longest paved pedestrian-only street in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s is still one of the longest, and the major retail area of the city.
Southern explorations
Victoria Square. Recently redesigned, it is a monument to the original inhabitants of the Adelaide Plains, the Kaurna mob, and pays homage also to an English Queen Victoria. It’s also now known as Tarndanyangga. Many events, like the Tour Down Under, are staged here.
Other places to visit, are the Adelaide Hills, always visible from anywhere in Adelaide, especially the Mt. Lofty Lighthouse. This building and its cafe/restaurant have been rebuilt many times due to the numerous bushfires that destroyed them. The lookout view over Adelaide to the sea is spectacular.
While we are still in the hill area, the German-settled town of Hahndorf is a must see. If you are into live music, Governor Hindmarsh is a good place to visit.
