One Week in BKK
I have to take a business trip to BKK and will be leaving July 16th and returning July 27th. Since my hubby's b'day is the 16th, I decided to take him along as well and am treating him to Raffles Class on SQ via EWR. I'll be on another airline since it is business.
We will be at the Conrad Hotel and while I am working during the day, he needs some things to do. He is an avid golfer and does plan to play a few rounds while there. However, if anyone has any other suggestions, please pass them along.
Thanks

Golf at BKK 
There are a lot of wonderful sights to see, any number of websites or guidebooks can reveal a lot of suggestions. There are probably a few suggestions in this forum? example
What does your husband like to do, besides play golf?
Traditional Thai Massage at Wat Pho (and the Reclining Buddha always amazes me)
Ride the water taxi
Royal Barge Museum
Wat Arun
National Museum
Wat Phra Keo
Day trip to Ayattaya

I agree. there is way too much in bangkok to do to golf. And much of it is pretty obvious. The museum is also interesting. Then there is kick boxing, the weekend market. But the historic stuff will take him three to four days and then there are also trips available to the bridge over the river kwai and other places
