Top tips for Chicago to Bangkok
Brave the SkyWalk at King Power Mahanakhon
The SkyWalk at King Power Mahanakhon is one of Bangkok’s top attractions and an unforgettable highlight for all who visit. Much like the Willis Tower in Chicago, it offers unrivalled panoramic views for as far as the eye can see. At 314 metres, it’s Thailand’s highest observation deck, with an observatory, rooftop bar and exhilarating ‘Glass Tray’ experience.
Visit the Grand Palace
Whereas Chicago is known for its staggering skyscrapers, Bangkok is known for its traditional temples. Spend a day at the dazzling Grand Palace, with its brightly coloured spires and ornate golden rooftops. The impressive complex also happens to be home to one of the most beautiful temples in Thailand, Wat Phra Kaew – the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
