Why Bangkok?
Bangkok is Thailand's buzzing capital, where ornate temples sit beside neon-lit night markets.
Explore the Grand Palace and Wat Pho by day, then cruise the Chao Phraya River as the city lights up. Street food is a highlight on almost every corner. Bangkok is also the easiest launchpad for Phuket, Chiang Mai and the Thai islands.
