Holidays in Bangkok
The area and getting around
Bangkok, the city capital of Thailand, is a multicultural metropolis of contrasts where everyday life of the locals’ city life collides with the exotic. It is home to huge shopping centres right next to little homes or any of the hundreds of gold-spired temples. The tuk tuks with tourists share the road lanes full of buses and cars moving slowly and honking away as they go. Walk around Bangkok will allow you to see lots of busy street markets, neon-lit strips full of shops, street vendors and food stalls in every corner. You do not go to Bangkok to have a three course meal but to snack and try several Thai nibbles. The skyscrapers overlook the city and make it look very cosmopolitan and yet a traditional destination.
Same, same, but differentYou can move around the neighbours and discover the beautiful Buddhist temples and visit them, respecting the rules. Explore the hidden markets on a boat trip, wander the narrow streets of Chinatown, watch some monks buying the latest trends in mobile communications or take the Skytrain, known as BTS, and head to Sukhumvit to immerse yourself and enjoy local nightlife. Take the train and move a few miles out of the city to explore wonderful temples and interesting sites outside the city. It will take you back to ancient times! As you can see, Bangkok is a unique destination to add to your list. Discover the city with the moto: “Same same, but different”.
