Questions
Quick answers
What if my trip includes Monday or Tuesday?
Place the National Museum day on an available opening day. The river-temple day may fit a museum closing day, subject to the palace and temple calendars. BACC normally closes on Mondays.
The days these rules belong to
3 days in Bangkok
Keep the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun on the same river-focused day. Use a separate day for the old city’s museums and Wat Suthat, then a third for the Jim Thompson House, contemporary exhibitions and Siam. Check museum opening days before assigning dates. Chatuchak, distant palaces and out-of-city trips are optional replacements or extra days rather than additions to this schedule.
