Things to do in Bangkok
Bangkok is among the world's top tourist destinations and it doesn’t take long to see why! Home to 14 million people and known for its welcoming nature to tourists from all around the world, Bangkok offers the perfect holiday destination in Thailand all year round. A dynamic, bustling and vibrant city 24/7, Bangkok provides a vast array of cultural activities, food tours, shopping and much more. You can admire the gleaming temples, catch a tuk-tuk through Chinatown or take a longtail boat to explore the floating markets. Bangkok is a real city of contrasts: luxury malls, numerous boutique and extravagant five-star hotels are found side by side with old village homes; buddist temples share space with cabarets and exotic red-light districts. And of course no visit to Bangkok would be complete without taking a tour of its famous cultural landmarks including the historic Grand Palace which was the home of the Thai King for 150 years. Make sure to check out the riverside markets, where eating is always the highlight. A great starting point to explore the country, Bangkok is a must-visit destination on any trip to Thailand!
