Bangkok—the capital city of the Kingdom of Thailand and the country’s most populous city. Travelers are drawn to its rich history, urban vibe and the unique experience of the colorful Thai culture. As a result, tourism has been and continues to be a main component of the city’s booming economy.

Bangkok Thailand is quite famous for its unique culture, cuisine and, of course, its shopping districts. If you want to get the best out of your stay in Bangkok, here is a list of 5 challenges that you could do in The City of Smiles.

Skip traffic by riding motorcycle taxis

Being a busy city, it is understandable that Bangkok has almost intolerable traffic jams. If you have a fixed itinerary, then time should be of the essence. One of the most unique modes of transportation is motorcycle taxis. These motorcycle taxi drivers will get you through the hustle and bustle of the city to get you where you need to be.

Get your stomach full at a condom-themed restaurant

There is a unique restaurant in Bangkok (called Cabbages and Condoms) whose interior is decked of the colorful contraceptive rubbers lighting fixtures the establishment. The idea for this restaurant was born out of the goal to promote a better understanding and acceptance of family planning. The restaurant may appear weird but you could entirely forget that you are dining in a sea of rubbers once you get to taste their food. It is a food place to die for!

Test your taste buds by dining in the dark

Here’s another way to experience the Thai culture: dining in the dark at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit. You get to choose from a number of four-course meals which includes Asian, Western, vegetarian, or special surprise cuisines. Without the sense of sight, your sense of taste is heightened, which is why there is a more intense burst of flavor with every dish. This is certainly one way to experience Bangkok’s gastronomic wonders.

Appreciate life by visiting the Death Museum

Visit the Siniraj Medical Museum—dubbed as the Death Museum—and you’ll probably have a better appreciation of life. This is not an excursion for the faint of heart. This museum displays a morbid exhibition of preserved bodies of victims, murderers, babies with genetic disorders, dissected adults, and even a 35 kg human testicle. Looking at these displays would also probably make you care more about your body.

Experience genuine affection from beautiful Thailand Women

Bangkok, Thailand has some of the world’s most sought-after ladies, and you would be missing out on a lot if you don’t even get to know them. Get to meet beautiful Bangkok women and be mesmerized by them. These Thailand women are not just stunningly gorgeous but are also kind and warm-hearted. They may have petite bodies, but they have big hearts that are enough to give you a lifetime love.

Surely, you are all excited to get on that plane and fly your way to the City of Smiles. The remaining question is are you ready to take on the challenge?
