If you are waiting at the Bangkok Airport for several hours and have got nothing else to do than stare at the thin air, then I will be giving you tips on what to do in between hours. There are several attractions that you can visit which does not require you to travel long distance like the Ancient Siam located near the airport. It was previously known as the Ancient City and is considered as the biggest outdoor museum in the world that is around 200 acres. Also, there are many hotels nearby where you can look around and dine in. So instead of sitting around at the airport lobby, try exploring its vicinity to beat boredom.
What is good about the Ancient Siam is that it is very enormous and you can spend the entire day just roaming around in peace and quiet or you can cycling as well. There are bicycles that you can rent for 50 Baht each inside the park, 100 Baht for two seater and 150 Baht for three seater. The park opens at 8am and closes at 5pm daily. The entrance fee costs around 300 Baht for adults and 150 Baht for children.
In addition, there is also the Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo that was constructed in 1950. it now contains around 60,000 crocodiles and still increasing. Animals such as gibbons, chimpanzees, boa constrictors, elephants, camels, turtles and pythons can be seen. You can also take pictures with a tiger if you wish to. This park runs from 7am to 6pm on a regular basis and shows are available hourly from 9am to 5pm.
Moreover, if you choose to stay in one of the hotels near the airport, you do not have to worry about the traffic on the day of your light schedule. You can also have more time to catch a glimpse on other wonderful attractions.
I advise that while waiting at the Bangkok Airport, you make use of your remaining number of hours instead of just sitting around without anything to do. Discover many things nearby like the Ancient Siam where toucan spend several hours just roaming around or visit the Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo where many great shows and sightseeing activities await you. Or if you want, you can go back to your hotel if it is near the airport and take a look around, you might just run into someone that you know and offer to take him out to lunch and chat with each other. You see, there are many things that you can do to beat boredom.
