I’m thinking about a river cruise.  Also foot massage, temples and walking in Lumpini park while trying not to look like a perv while walking past the shirtless guys in the gym area…,

Muang Boran (Old City) with replicas of most famous  buildings from each province plus Preah Vihar temple on outskirts of Bangkok is nice day trip

Skin treatments, dental appointments, and the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre at National Stadium BTS is also worth checking out. Lots of markets to also check out - in particular Chatuchak weekend market is very very large.

For those interested in river cruises and with a large wallet, there used to be wonderful 1 or 2 day/overnight cruises from BKK to Ayutthaya on a converted rice barge. These included splendid dinners and breakfasts, accommodation in suites with queen-size beds, tour of Ayutthaya and return by limousine. It was spectacular. The one I arranged almost 20 years ago was run by the Marriott Riverside Hotel. I know the hotel was taken over and understand that is now the Anantara Riverside Hotel, but am not certain. Looking at the internet there seem to be several companies operating this service. 

En route are two spectacular sights. The Royal Palace at Bang Pa In and the relatively new "Arts of the Kingom" Museum with a host of utterly stunning objects. It was first opened at least 10 years ago when it was accommodated in the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall. Intended merely as a one-year Exhibition, it proved so popular it was retained in that building for some years before now being housed in its own special Museum near Ayutthaya. After i had seen it, I always took visiting friends there and they absolutely loved it. The exhibits really are quite unique.

It was never closed! I assume you are referring to the mega earthquake near Mandalay in Myanmar which did affect Bangkok, but very little in low-lying districts. Bnagkok does not lie on an earthquake fault line, whereas Chiang Mai and the north does.

I added some photos to my earlier post which may or may not be of interest.

I enjoyed your post enough to look up the cruise. It looks magnificent indeed but the price is magnificent too. The Anantara option is between 160,000-200k baht!

I was gobsmacked by the other thread enquiring if certain well known forum members had passed away! Wasn’t there a nicer way to ask if they had been active recently 😅
