Take a Ride on the Rural Side

If you feel like you need to get out and calm down for a while, take a small trip outside of Bangkok and experience the charms of rural life.

How To

There are a few different bus terminals around the city, but two of the easiest ones to get to are Mo Chit and Victory monument. Go to Victory monument if you want to get to your destination a little faster. Vans tend to carry less people and make less stops.

There are a few good options for locations only about an hour from the city. A very popular one is the ancient capital, Ayutthaya, which makes a perfect destination for people interested in old temples, elephants, and large markets. Saraburi is also a good location, but for different reasons. Things in this city are a little less touristy, and a little quieter than other locations. These are just two of the many choices to choose from within Bangkok’s perimeter provinces. You know of some more places to visit? Let us know in the comments below!
