Part of what makes Bangkok such a fascinating city is the fact that you can find sprawling modern development side by side with cultural attractions steeped in religious traditions. The Erawan Shrine in Bangkok is one such example and is definitely worth seeing when in the Thai capital. If you are looking for a unique way to see the sights of the city then Bangkok cruises such as those offered by Anantara Cruises Thailand are just what you are looking for. This Bangkok cruise tour takes you along the Chao Phraya River and past some of the most famous landmarks of the capital.

Make sure to also plan a visit to the Erawan Shrine which can be found in the Pathum Wan district and which features a statute of Than Tao Mahaprom, the four-faced Brahma God. It is common to see devotees coming to this shrine throughout the day amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, in order to pay their respects and give offerings including fruits and garlands. While the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok offers an insight into the rich local culture, this experience is further enhanced by the performance of traditional Thai dancing that can be sometimes witnessed at the site.
