Bangkok has attracted millions of visitors every year for decades, offering tourists an extraordinary experience of tradition where culture meets modernity. It has world-class food, stunning historical monuments and some of the best hospitality around the globe.
Whether you want to spend your time in Bangkok visiting the famous temples of Wat Pho or Wat Phra Kaew, meandering along the small lanes in Chinatown, shopping at Chatuchak Weekend Market or taking a Thai cooking class, Bangkok has everything.
Food, of course, is at the top of many visitors' 'must haves'. Bangkok is one of the best 'foodie' destinations in the world. You will be spoiled for choice when it comes to eating excellent fresh Thai cuisine. Remember that in Thailand the best food is found, fresh, on the street. You can relax with a Thai massage or enjoy the spectacle of the martial art of Muay Thai (Tai Boxing).
Some of you may prefer to shop at the many shops or crowded wholesale markets in Bangkok. The weekend market in Chatuchak is an experience in itself.
Bangkok has to be one of the cheapest places in the world to treat yourself when it comes to accommodation. There are excellent hotel options throughout the city, from super-luxury 5-star hotels to boutique properties that offer a slice of Thai culture.
