Bangkok, the City of Angels

Bangkok, the lively and sometimes chaotic capital of Thailand, is a living fresco illustrating the incredible cultural diversity of Thailand.

Crossed by the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok lives to the rhythm of water taxis gliding on the water, tuk-tuks weaving between cars, bustling markets, and hands braiding freshly cut flowers by the roadside.

Almost an obligatory starting point for any trip to Thailand, Bangkok will immerse you in the Thai frenzy where practically everything seems possible.
