The capital city of
Thailand, Bangkok is a brilliant introduction to Southeast Asia. With glistening golden temples and palaces, an array of street vendors, saffron-robed monks and bright neon signs, this city takes the old and combines it with the new to create a buzzing atmosphere and a brilliant destination for every traveller.

Known for its many monuments and museums, the Phra Nakhon district houses the majority of the governmental and administration buildings, and proves to be a tourist hotspot for those seeking to learn more about the history, government and cultural past of Thailand. Whilst there, make sure to visit the winding and beautiful Grand Palace, which is one of the most recognisable buildings in the region and the home of Thai royalty for over 200 years. Another must see in this district is the Temple of the Reclining Buddha or “Wat Pho,” which stretches an amazing 46 meters long and shines an amazing gold.
If shopping is more your style, however, then don’t miss out on touring the Ratchaprasong district, which boasts some of the most and least expensive experiences in the country. Head to Siam Square, one of the largest areas to shop and be entertained in Bangkok and offers everything from cheap eats to luxury clothing and is often compared to Piccadilly Circus in
London, and the “Shinjuku of
Thailand.”
For those needing a bit of green space and clearer air in the sometimes hectic pace of Bangkok, you’ll be please to know that there are several massive parks spread throughout the city. The most visited park in
Thailand, Lumphini Park is a welcome retreat for many city dwellers, as you can see by the, sometimes, sea of locals sunning themselves during the weekdays. For a slightly quieter but equally beautiful patch of green, try the Chatuchak Park, which is home to the botanical gardens, lakes and ponds, and small sporting complexes.
Besides its amazing shops, parks, nightlife and culinary opportunities, another famous aspect Bangkok is its central location and reputation for a major travel hub for those travelling from
Australia to Asian hotspots like
China and
Japan, as well as
India, and Europe, and
London.
If this is you, why not consider stopping for a couple extra days in
this great city en route to your destination, or combine it with a Thai
beach destination, like
Phuket,
Phi Phi,
Chiang Mai, or
Koh Samui
