Bangkok
Thailand
"Temples, Street Food & Non-Stop Energy"
Bangkok is a sensory overload in the best possible way. This sprawling, 24/7 metropolis blends ancient Buddhist temples with sky-high rooftop bars, vibrant night markets with ultra-modern malls, and tuk-tuks weaving beside luxury Maseratis. Explore the dazzling Grand Palace complex, cruise the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun, bargain at Chatuchak Weekend Market, and devour the world's best pad thai from a street cart. Bangkok is also the gateway to Thailand's stunning islands and beaches.
