';Must sees'; are different for everyone. It depends on your particular interests.

www.explorechicago.org is a good site to do some research on your own. The Visiting Chicago section on this web site also has lots of information.

Visitting Chicago for the first time from Thailand

Bangkok is a great town and folks have always been so very hospitable and friendly there. I hope you have the same experience in Chicago. I would suggest you walk the lakefront from the downtown area headed North. Go to Navy Pier, very touristic but good vies of the skyline. Go to Millenium Park, see a free concert on the weekend...get there 45 minutes early at least, better an hour and half, take a picnic. Take the architectural society tour down the Chicago River. Walk up and down Michigan Ave. Go to the Art Museum. Visit at least one neighborhood, perhaps Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Bucktown, or ? Eat deep dish pizza at maybe Uno or Due or Malnatis or? Eat a Chicago hot dog ...many places.

To add to the previous posters suggestions, be sure to visit the top of the Hancock building. The views are awesome. They have an observation deck that costs a small amount, or you can go to the Signature room for food/beverages. I prefer the restaurant, because the observation floor is often crowded with many children running around.

In addition to pizza and hot dogs, be sure to have a Chicago style Italian beef sandwich. These are truely unique to Chicago. Order it ';wet'; (extra gravy). If you like spice, have it topped with Giardiniara peppers. These are also pretty unique to Chicago.

Enjoy your trip and welcome to the forum.
