A brief introduction to Bangkok

A lively metropolis full of rich cultural attractions, a vibrant nightlife, and a famed street dining scene, the capital of ‘The Land of Smiles’ has something for everyone.

To indulge in Bangkok’s fascinating heritage, head to the island of Rattanakosin – home to the city’s ornate golden temples. Here, you can marvel at the opulence of the Grand Palace, a building encrusted with gold and jewels that has been the official residence of the Thai monarchy for almost 250 years. Nearby, you can also find the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in all of Thailand.

For a taste of Bangkok’s cuisine, we recommend sampling the delicious street food that can be found on Yaowarat Road. Be sure to try local delicacies, such as ‘pad see ew’ (stir fried flat noodles) and ‘tom yum’ (hot and sour soup). Bangkok is also well-known for its spirited nightlife, with Banglamphu being the city’s hotspot for lively dance clubs and hip bars.
