STEP 2 - READING ACTIVITY

“A Travel Guide”

According to the text, answer the following questions.

a. What are some recommendations to visit Bangkok? Use have to/ must/mustn't in your
answer.

You have to go there because you must visit grand palace and take there pretty Good
pictures, also you have toe at their food, and why not have a ride on the boats, also you
have to go shopping and try on a new and colorful new clothes, giving you my personal
advise if you dont like pollution you must not go to the Khao San road and stay there
cause it is full of people and super noisy, and polluted, so if you prefer something
calmer, stay in Phra Kanong this places is better in my personal opinión and is just 20
mintes from the grand Palace by Skytrain.

b. What is the fastest way to get around in Bangkok?

You mustn´t take taxis cause you are going to have in a traffic jam, so instead of it, you
have to take a express boat river taxi, or a longtail boat along the Chao Phrayar river
and the canals.
c. Where can you find the best Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands in
Bangkok?

It´s easy because you can find everywhere food in Bangkok an just for $5, even on the
river while you are on the boats, because there are some boat-vendors, or some stands
by the side of the river, but if you really want to have Good food, you have to visit Thai
Street food, and for Chinese one you must go to Chinatown,Taowarat Street.
d. Why is water one of the best ways to move around Thailand?

It is pretty convinient because is faster than traveling by land, because there are some
more river-canals and ways to go, also more options, you can have an express boat,
longtail boat and those are faster than having a taxi.
e. Why does the author say you can eat everywhere?

Because there are many places to eat and also Street stands and vendor almost
everywhere, so you can get a dish of food in the Street and also if you want on the river
while you are traveling by boat just for five or less $5.
f. What would you add to a guide destination like this? Mention 2 different items that you
consider necessary to keep in mind.

1-sightseeing tours and attractions.
