Grand Palace Bangkok with ornate golden spires

Thailand

Bangkok

A sensory feast of golden temples, rooftop bars, and legendary street food.

Bangkok is a city that never stops surprising. Glittering Buddhist temples sit beside neon-lit night markets, and Michelin-starred restaurants share streets with legendary pad thai vendors. The Chao Phraya river, the Grand Palace, and Chatuchak's sprawling weekend market are just a few reasons Bangkok remains one of Asia's most visited cities.

Bangkok Highlights

Travel Tips for Bangkok

  • The BTS Skytrain and MRT Metro cover central Bangkok well. Buy a Rabbit card for convenience.
  • Temples require covered shoulders and knees. Carry a scarf or light cover-up.
  • Tuk-tuks are fun for short hops but agree on a price before you get in. Use the meter for regular taxis.
  • Bangkok traffic is intense — the river boats and Skytrain are often faster than road transport.
