Bangkok is a city of irresistible contrasts – golden temples and buzzing street markets, rooftop cocktails and riverfront heritage – making it one of Southeast Asia’s most compelling city breaks.
The Best of Bangkok
Alongside gleaming megamalls and a dynamic business district, Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, still holds fast to its past. The majestic Grand Palace, the serene reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, and the timeless waterways of the Chao Phraya reveal a city deeply connected to its heritage.
Beyond the capital, the ancient city of Ayutthaya – the former capital of Siam for more than four centuries – offers an evocative glimpse into a once-glorious empire. To the west, the Kanchanaburi region is perhaps best known for the Bridge over the River Kwai. While a powerful reminder of wartime suffering, the beautifully preserved WWII cemetery offers a place for poignant reflection. Staying by the river for a few nights here makes a peaceful and meaningful base from which to explore the area.
