4. Visit Madam Tussauds

Of course you have heard of Madam Tussauds wax museum. Everyone has. They have a museum in Bangkok as well.

That's the perfect way to rub shoulders with your favorite celebrities.

5. Go Ice Skating

Ice skating is for all ages- it doesn't matter if you are 10 or 50- ice skating will lure you to its white coolness as you slide on the hard surface. It is a non-stop thrill that fills joy in unhappy hearts. But if you are planning to try it out, make sure you cover yourself up well because it's going to be cold in there.

6. Shop at the floating market

Shopping is a cheering hobby. Of course it is expensive, but if you plan your budget right, you can have lots of fun while spending the least. And floating markets aren't even about designer clothes or jewelry, so your money is safe. These markets feature boats laden with vegetables and tropical fruits along with delicious juices and local food. You can have a relaxed guided boat tour through the watery lanes and enjoy local foods as well.

7. Watch butterflies

What can be a better way to cheer up than to watch colorful butterflies flutter by? In the Bangkok Butterfly Garden, you'll find hundreds of different wildflowers which are the homes of several beautiful butterflies. There are flowers, cooling waterfalls, shady ferns, and pretty rockeries- all of them combining to be one scintillating experience.

8. Go Bowling

If bowling is your type of game, you'll find bowling alleys on the top floors of almost all the Bangkok malls. This is the kind of sport that would suit all age groups.

9. Have water park fun

Water parks are fun for everyone. Visit a water park and you'll cheer up in a couple of minutes. There are all types of rides: scary rides, wild rides, fun rides, and calm rides. And there isn't just one Water Park in Bangkok- you can visit Dream World, Wonder World, Fantasia Lagoon, Leoland, and Siam Park.
