If you plan to TEFL Thailand (teach English as a foreign language) in Thailand, you can experience the range of exotic entertainment in Bangkok: from a very nice dinner to dancing, karaoke, or to the sexy variety. Like many major cities, the choices for your nighttime entertainment is wide and varied. While in Bangkok I have eaten great food, gone dancing, sung at karaoke and listened to
great music.
The imposing domed National Assembly building or Throne Hall was commissioned by King Chulalongkorn. Faced in marble imported from Italy, this impressive building is today used for ceremonial state functions. The parliament is now housed in a modern, more functional, but less elegant building not
far away.
Walking Tours - walking is not a popular form of activity in Bangkok. The weather is usually too hot, sidewalks are crowded and crossing a street is positively lethal. It should be stressed that crossing big busy streets should be done with extreme caution and, if possible, always via a pedestrain bridge. But if a view of life free of cars and street noise is what you are looking for, there are places where people are carrying on much as they have for
centuries.
One of the oldest snake farms in the world is operating in the very heart of Bangkok and actively encourages visitors to come and see its show. If you are brave enough, it is situated at the Pasteur Institute on Rama IV Road at the corner of the Henri Dunant Road, the Institute raises venomous snakes to extract their venom. Snakes such as the banded krait, Siamese cobra, king cobra, pit and Malayan vipers are milked and fed every day at 11:00. The venom is collected and injected in small amounts into horses. Serum containing antibodies to the venom is then taken from the horses and purified, before being distributed around Thailand and abroad as antidotes for snakebite.
