About Bangkok
Why travelers love it here
Bangkok is overwhelming in the best possible way — tuk-tuks weaving between golden temple spires, night markets that stretch for city blocks, rooftop bars above the neon sprawl, and a street food scene that is arguably the world's greatest. The Grand Palace is as spectacular as its reputation, the Chao Phraya river offers perspective, and the BTS Skytrain makes it all surprisingly navigable.
