Why visit Bangkok
The Grand Palace, Wat Arun and the floating markets of the Chao Phraya delta make Bangkok Southeast Asia’s gateway. Street food is the draw - pad thai from a wok at midnight, green curry from a riverside stall - and the city’s canal boats beat the traffic. Bangkok is also the launch pad for beach trips south and Chiang Mai north.
