Why visit Bangkok

Bangkok is Thailand's capital and its loudest, most generous city. The old royal quarter on the Chao Phraya River holds the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and its reclining Buddha, and Wat Arun on the far bank, while river ferries and longtail boats thread past them all day.

Away from the river the city is all energy: night markets, malls, rooftop bars and some of the best street food in Asia. In the evenings you can watch the city light up from the top of one of its towers, or take a seat at one of the historic stadiums where Muay Thai, the national sport, is fought most nights of the week.

Highlights

  • The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew
  • Wat Arun on the Chao Phraya
  • Street food in Chinatown (Yaowarat)
  • Skyline views from Baiyoke Tower II
  • Muay Thai at a Bangkok stadium
  • Longtail boats on the klongs
