Bangkok truly lives up to its reputation as a hot spot in Southeast Asia. "The City of Angels" has fabulous sights and attractions that combine both modern skyscrapers and ancient temples to create an unforgettable place on earth. Public transportation is fantastic, including the city's modern Skytrain and underground systems to get you all over Bangkok at a reasonable price. There are street markets, the infamous tuk-tuks, robed monks, gardens, museums, rivers and canals to discover; floating markets, night markets, ethnic cuisine from around the world and a lively, fascinating night life. It is a city of contrasts and diversity and offers a truly exciting adventure.
Dining in Bangkok is a culinary journey and taste experience and more than Thailand's renowned cuisine with its sour, sweet, salty and spicy flavors. In this city, you can find almost every type of cuisine from around the world. From riverside restaurants and dinner cruises to food markets and trendy restaurants, the culinary side of Bangkok is simply fantastic. And don't forget about Street Food - it's inexpensive, authentic and can be found throughout the city.
Bangkok's nightlife has had a reputation of being quite wild and uncontrolled, but that imagine is fading as Asia's capital of cool diversifies the nightlife scene with great jazz clubs, excellent live music, trendy clubs and ultra cool bars and lounges. There are even a few traditional English pubs thrown in the mix. Or perhaps more to your liking would be a magical evening on an old teakwood rice barge for a Thai dinner and enjoy the Chao Phraya River (River of Kings) as the evening falls. Be prepared to be stunned by the lights of the city and the temples, especially Wat Arun, beautifully lit against the night sky.
Bangkok malls are considered some of the finest and biggest in Asia. Most are located in the "High Street" area. Suan Lum Night Bazaar is the city's first official night bazaar. The market is smaller and easier to navigate than its day counterpart (Chatuchak), and is complemented by an international open food court and lively beer garden, where local bands blast out local and international favorite tunes. The stalls offer the usual mix of Thai craft, textiles, silverware, jewelry, home decorative items, home furniture and so much more. And always remember that bargaining is vital! (Bargain with a smile - you'll get a much better deal.)
All this is Bangkok and much more - a fascinating city with a fascinating past. This is a city to marvel at, from its temples and beautiful waterways to the lush gardens and the graciousness of the residents. Add in the cuisine and you have the opportunity to experience an adventure you'll never forget.
