day 3, can go wat pho, grand palace and chinatown in the day and have a nice dinner in Silom, cloud47. ( a little night mkt shopping in the evening).
Chinatown otherwise known as Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown, near Hua LamPhong Bts is good to visit in the day as well as the night.
day time if visit during the weekends, you can stop short of chatuchak mkt. basically, they offer the same theme, weekend mkt.
night time famous for seafood, cheap and nice.
you can end your trip in silom cloud47 for a nice drink and good view.

There are many things to do in bangkok. All depends on two things:
1) money. Luxury trip? On budget? Or mix mix? Cuz I remember someone posted his/her bkk trip and most of their meals were in fine dining restaurants.
While the one by steady is more of a mix. Sometimes dine in restaurants, sometimes dine at roadside...
2) your purpose. Visit temple? On charity? Shopping? Sight-seeing? Extreme adventure?

Always remember one thing since you're there for 6days.
Take your time.
Don't rush. Bangkok is a beautiful place with many hidden beauties. Take your time to walk, explore and look around.

Both trips to bkk, I took a lot of photos which my friends (many of them been to bkk countless times) commented where we find it in bkk

The point is

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do"

Eat like a thai and live like a thai. Do what the locals do.
Authentic Thai. Explore and be advantageous.

You will enjoy your journey.

Just my 2 cts. These places that allow you to take photos with wild animals are exploiting the animals. I can only imagine what they did to the animals to make them cooperate. By going there, you are supporting their treatment of these animals. The big cats of Thailand's Tiger Temple | Mail Online

Ditto for those trips that purport to show you long necked tribes like in a freak show.

thanks bros for ur comment. This trip is more on sightseeing, relaxing, praying and definitely not luxury. All the food taken will be likely street stalls instead of fine dining restaurant except maybe for 1 or 2.

Temple fatigue, man. Isn't Wat Bang Phra in the next province?
Are you trying to run yourself to ground everyday?

Ayutthaya I went on my own to explore. Took BTS to Victory Monument. Then took aircon minibus to Ayutthaya. 2 hour trip. 60 baht. Not luxurious but comfortable enough. And it's cheap.

Erm.. no lah.. I was naming this few temples which I might visit, not all. But most likely will visit Grand Palace, Wat Arun and Wat Pho, will skip Wat Bang Phra and Rahu Temple as I went before.

Is it easy ? As I never went before , I am afraid I might lose time searching high and low, so I tot booking a day tour will be easier and simple.
