A brief introduction to Bangkok
Nicknamed ‘The Land of Smiles’, Bangkok is a bustling metropolis brimming with rich culture, heritage and excellent street food. Whether you wish to experience grand, ornate temples and night bazaars or skyscraper restaurants and neon-lit streets, this is a city that has it all.
Start your trip by visiting one of the most important landmarks of Thai culture and history - the Grand Palace. This opulent building has been the official residence of the Thai monarchy for almost 250 years, and boasts a beautiful design with gold and jewels. Inside the Grand Palace, you’ll find the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which is regarded as the most sacred temple in all of Thailand.
Nearby, you’ll also find Wat Pho Temple with its huge reclining Buddha and Wat Arun, which sits along the mighty Chao Phraya River and pierces the sky with its Khmer-style spire.
Shopping lovers can take advantage of Bangkok’s myriad retail options, ranging from the luxury Siam Paragon and Central World malls, to the independent galleries and concept stores that line Shilongjun Road. Dining options are equally diverse, with authentic Thai flavours found at local street vendors on the buzzing Yaowarat Road, and stylish restaurants atop skyscrapers offering panoramic views of the city.
