Sometimes you only have a short amount of time in a city but want to make the best of it. If you are headed for Bangkok, Rough Guides has advice on what to see with just one day in the city.
Avoid the crowds and head to lesser-known temples, suggests Jennifer Arnow.
"You can still experience Bangkok's magnificent temples on a tight schedule by going a bit off the beaten path. Wat Suthat, a stunning temple in the Old City, is home to a bronze Buddha more than 25 feet tall," writes Arnow.
She also says that, as the "Venice of the East," visitors should explore the Bangkok canals on a tour.
"It's not unusual to see modest shacks next to modern townhouses as you cruise along the waterways. There are also temples, restaurants, and other sites that are accessible if you're looking to stretch your legs and explore," says Arnow.

And then there's the food.
"Bangkok is synonymous with street food, and for good reason. Everywhere you turn, there's a food stall hawking all sorts of mouthwatering dishes," says Arnow.
