Bangkok is a holiday hotspot for a number of different types of British tourists, and it has a reputation for being somewhat of a wild destination.<\/p>\n

Whilst that reputation may be partially true – Khaosan Road feels like the entire Magaluf, Zante, and Ayia Napa strips condensed into one street, there are things to do in the city for absolutely everyone.<\/p>\n

Of course, being Thailand, the food is incredible and so are the people. There are a number of street food markets to choose from, and although Chinatown is busy, it is worth visiting for dinner one evening during your stay.<\/p>\n

However, for tourists preferring a gentler pace, nestled between Bangkok\u2019s towering skyscrapers and construction cranes lies a slice of paradise, Lumphini Park.<\/p>\n

Bangkok\u2019s largest and oldest park, Lumphini is a green haven for visitors seeking respite from the sometimes overwhelming Thai capital.<\/p>\n

Not only a peaceful place to wander around, Lumphini Park is home to some extra special inhabitants – Monitor lizards.<\/p>\n

Looking like miniature dragons or dinosaurs, Lumphini Park\u2019s Monitor lizards are incredibly tame and used to people. With that being said, they are still best left alone and admired from afar.<\/p>\n

A great way to spend time in Lumphini is to rent a pedalo and take to the tranquil lake in the middle of the park, where you can feed the fish and potentially spot a monitor lizard swimming beside you.<\/p>\n

There are hundreds of spectacular landmarks and temples in Thailand that truly have to be seen to be believed. Buddhist-inspired architecture is truly mesmerising, and none more so in Bangkok than the incredible Golden Mount at Wat Saket.<\/p>\n
