A serene and soulful city steeped in deep-rooted heritage, Bangkok beckons travellers with its rich traditional culture, ornate palaces, and lively markets.

Start your journey by paying a visit to one of the most significant and revered landmarks in Thailand's culture and history - the Grand Palace. A majestic and embellished structure adorned with shimmering gold and precious gemstones, the palace has been the official residence of the monarchy for almost 250 years. Once inside, you will discover the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, widely recognised as the most sacred temple in all of Thailand.

Bangkok is home to an array of awe-inspiring temples, with many of them situated in close proximity to the Grand Palace, including Wat Pho Temple, which houses a colossal reclining Buddha. Just a short walk away, you will find Wat Arun standing tall on the banks of the Chao Phraya River with its unmistakable towering spire piercing the sky.

The vibrant contemporary art scene in Bangkok is concentrated around Chatuchak Market, with the new six-story Museum of Contemporary Art serving as a hub. The museum showcases a collection of around 400 contemporary Thai artworks amassed over two decades. Among the highlights are surreal nature portraits by Thawee Nanthakwang and the textural paintings of Suchao Sitkanet.

Shopping lovers will have plenty of choice as Bangkok is brimming with numerous upscale shopping malls, such as Siam Paragon, CentralwOrld, and ICONSIAM. Be sure to also explore the city's night markets, which include Asiatique, Rot Fai, and Pratunam Indy Market, as you can immerse yourself in the local culture and discover a variety of interesting souvenirs and trinkets.

The Thai capital serves as an excellent starting point for a day trip, with the ancient city of Ayutthaya located just over an hour's drive away. Established in 1351, it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to over 100 extraordinary ruins, which are a combination of temples, palaces, and spires.

Before travelling with Cathay Pacific, book your stay at one of Bangkok’s most notable and luxurious hotels to earn exciting rewards, such as room upgrades and access to premium lounge facilities. Nestled along the Chao Phraya River is the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok - a colonial treasure dating back to 1887. Secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city, travellers can still reach downtown Bangkok in just 15 minutes via Surasak BTS station and can also take a speedboat to explore various spots along the river. After a long day, relax in The Oriental Spa's treatment rooms, which are dotted amidst lotus ponds. At the Park Hyatt, Thai craftsmanship, digital technology, and contemporary design converge to create a dynamic lifestyle hub. The hotel's striking coiled exterior houses 222 accommodations that are flooded with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Travellers can also take in panoramic views of the bustling Lumpini neighbourhood while lounging in the infinity pool.

Bangkok is renowned for its exotic culinary flavours from across the globe. Start by savouring the appetising Chinese cuisine being served up at Hong Bao. Located in an elegant second-floor dining room, enjoy a wide array of dumplings and other dishes traditionally associated with dim sum before indulging in the restaurant’s signature 'golden salty egg bun’ - a deliciously doughy bun with a sweet and salty egg yolk centre. If you are seeking more authentic Thai food, head to Thipsamai in the historic Phra Nakhon district and order one of their famed Pad Thais - a simple dish of noodles stir-fried with chicken, prawns, or pork, all complemented with a tangy sauce made from palm sugar, tamarind, and lime. We also recommend sampling the delicious street delicacies that can be found on Yaowarat Road, such as crab omelettes and ‘tom yum’ (hot and sour) soup.
