Bangkok, the bustling capital of Thailand, is a city of contrasts—ancient temples stand beside skyscrapers, floating markets thrive next to luxury malls, and traditional street food stalls compete with rooftop bars. Known for its vibrant nightlife, chaotic tuk-tuks, and world-famous hospitality, Bangkok is the gateway to Thailand’s culture and travel experiences. Visitors can admire glittering palaces, cruise along the Chao Phraya River, explore night bazaars, or enjoy a traditional Thai massage. It is also one of Asia’s most affordable capitals for food, shopping, and adventure.
