Bangkok in 5 Days: Day-by-Day Itinerary with Budget and Ayutthaya Day Trip (Printable + iPad)

Bangkok rewards a slower pace, but five days can turn into a blur of temples and traffic without a plan. This one does the timing for you.

This 13-page printable itinerary gives you 5 days and 4 nights in Bangkok, planned from breakfast to dinner, with the cost of every stop and a realistic budget. Every price was checked in September 2026.

WHAT'S INSIDE

A day-by-day plan: breakfast, morning, lunch, afternoon and dinner, in an order that saves walking and train time

The cost of every stop: admissions, fares and typical meal prices

Insider tips throughout each day (when to go, what to book ahead, what's closed when)

A Google Maps link for every sight: tap it in the iPad edition for directions

A book-ahead checklist of what sells out, how far ahead to book and the official booking sites

Plan B: exactly what to swap when Chatuchak is closed, on rainy afternoons and on Mondays

Where to stay: the best area plus three hotel picks at different budgets (Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road, Nantra Ploenchit Hotel, Waldorf Astoria Bangkok)

Before you go: best time to visit, getting in from the airport, getting around
