About Bangkok

A city of temples, rivers and endless energy

Thailand's capital is a thrilling mix of old and new — gilded palaces and saffron-robed monks alongside rooftop bars, vast malls and buzzing night markets.

Most holidays begin here, and we recommend two to four nights to see the highlights at a comfortable pace before heading north or to the islands.
