Steamy, frenetic and exhilarating, Bangkok is as chaotic as cities get, but when you pause and look closer, you’ll discover deep traditions and a glowing culture. Bangkok is a city that never sleeps, zip down the colorful streets in a tassel framed tuk tuk before sampling the street food at one of the many fragrant street markets.
The capital’s attractions are almost limitless, but if you only have limited time, not-to-be-missed attractions include the vast Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, a morning boat trip down the canals to see the floating markets, and the opulent Grand Palace. For shopping, head to the tourist hub of Khaosan Road, the MBK Centre, Siam Square, or on weekends, the vast Chatuchak market, while for dining and entertainment it’s best to check with your guide on the hottest spots of the moment.
