As the largest city in Thailand, Bangkok can at first present an assault on the senses with its frenetic energy, pulsing crowds and cloying humidity. But that is precisely why travellers the world over are scrambling to visit the cultural mecca, eager to discover the city’s famed sights and learn what truly makes it tick. From sampling the fragrant and often exceptionally spicy local cuisine to taking a tour through sacred temples, haggling at urban markets or dancing to the wee hours in a pulsing nightclub, Bangkok leaves an intoxicating imprint on the mind and body to be remembered for a lifetime.

Take on an urban wonder with today’s Groupon for: My Asia Holiday

The Experience

Groupies take on an “Amazing Thailand Tour” where they experience the sounds, sights, tastes and culture of the enchanting nation. Beginning in the capital of Bangkok, peeps are greeted from the airport and shown to their hotel, where they relax or get a head start on sightseeing.



The next day the action begins with a speedboat cruise down the Chao Phraya River to see the city from the water, where eyes look out for stilted wooden homes and colonial mansions. Later the tour moves to the iconic Grand Palace and an international buffet lunch up in Thailand’s tallest tower before holidaymakers visit the world’s largest crocodile park. Night owls have the option to attend one of Bangkok’s famous lady boy cabaret shows by night.

Day three moves to Gems Gallery where folk marvel over the stunning array of jewellery and trinkets on the road to the beachy location of Pattaya. Peeps hitch a ride on an elephant, visit the Monkey Training Centre and devour fresh fruit at a tropical orchard. The following day sees the journey weave to the floating market with its traditional Thai delicacies tempting tastebuds and later takes in the giant gold Chee-Cham Buddha, the theme park of Nong Nooch Village and Pattaya Park Tower observation deck.

The tour wraps up the next morning, allowing Groupies to stay on in Pattaya or venture elsewhere. Transport throughout the tour is by air-conditioned coach and most meals are included in the package.

Great breakfast buffet, swimming pool is big and clean, lots of space in the sun and in the shadow available, free wifi, nothing to complain.

Brilliant view to the sea – excellent breakfast – very friendly and helpful staff at the reception desk – nice swimming pool.
– GerdF, Trip Advisor, Apr 2013 – Jomiten Thani Hotel, Pattaya

I believe this is a newly built hotel, so not surprising the hotel is very new from lobby to the room. The whole environment is just awesome and it's quite big.
