Bangkok 3 Days 2 Nights Itinerary for First Time Visitors
Why 3 Days and 2 Nights Works
For a first visit to Bangkok, 3 days and 2 nights is just enough to see the city, do some shopping and fit in one day trip outside the city, without feeling rushed. It suits families, couples, groups of friends and solo travelers.

For departure times, pick-up points and what's included in each price, see our Joint Tour page.
Day 1: Arrive and Explore the City
Daytime: Check in to your hotel and rest. On the day you travel, it's best to start lightly rather than packing the schedule.
Evening: Stroll the riverside, night markets and shopping malls. For ideas on where to go after dark, read our article on what to do in Bangkok at night. If you'd like dinner on the river, take a look at our cruise service.
Day 2: Joint Tour Day Trip
Use your middle day for a day trip outside the city. Here's how you might choose:
- For history and temples: Ayutthaya (Wednesday) or Kanchanaburi (Sunday)
- For beach and sea: Koh Larn (Saturday) or Hua Hin (Friday)
- For nature and fresh air: Khao Yai (Monday or Thursday)
- For gardens and family fun: Pattaya Nong Nooch (Tuesday)
If the tour days don't match your dates, or you prefer a theme park, check the Dream World ticket (1,100 THB).
Day 3: Temples, Shopping and Departure
Morning: Visit one of Bangkok's well-known temples or palaces. Cover your shoulders and knees. Opening hours and entrance fees can change, so check before you go.
Midday: Use the remaining time to shop for gifts and clothes for family back home.
Departure: Bangkok traffic can be heavy, so leave plenty of time to reach the airport.
