Bangkok Information

Bangkok had somewhat humble beginnings as a trading post on the River Choa Phraya. Around 200 years later it could not have come further from it's origins, a thriving Asian metropolis, home to millions and attracting millions more to it's dynamic streets, markets and attractions.The numbers of travellers that come here each year is astonishing, rivalling both London and Paris! It's a city that reflects Thailand's diversity, here the human situation can be experienced in all it's forms, it's a wild ride but Bangkok is a place where you will know your are alive.

The stark contrasts of Thailand are not something you will need to search for in Bangkok, here they sit cheek-to-cheek. Serene temples that have changed little since times long past share the sky-line with stylish bars, clubs and gleaming high rise towers. Saffron clad monks quietly pad the streets, while in noisy amphitheatres across town, Muay Thai fighters battle with punches like lightning and round-house kicks. Out on the street, tuk tuks, bikes and scooters weave and toot amongst the cars and buses, while out on the canals and the wide river, powerful long tail boats ferry passengers the length of the city.

Bangkok is home to some of world’s most exquisite flavours and cuisines. Experience Royal Thai banquets in the traditional surrounds of a teak house or a cutting edge menu of fusion flavours from the rooftop of a steel and glass sky-scraper. Bangkok plays host to the specialities of every region of Thailand from classic curries and regional favourites, and the freshest produce from both land and ocean. While you are out and about, some of the best food can be enjoyed from the markets and stalls which are a steamy, noisy pageant rich with the colours and scents of Thailand.

Shoppers paradise is a term that will have new meaning, once you have visited Bangkok. There is almost nothing you cannot buy here. Home made crafts to designer imports, even those who ordinarily avoid malls find themselves caught up in the search for bargains among the modern malls and ramshackle markets in Bangkok.

But Bangkok is more than just a place to shop, eat and enjoy the sites, it’s a city to feed the soul as well. Bangkok has wonderful festivals and a great many temples that celebrate the Buddhist traditions of the country. Every home here has a spirit house, and the populace is devoted to traditional customs. you will see many Buddha's as you traverse the streets of Bangkok, you will find a Golden Buddha, an Emerald Buddha, and of course the huge and famous reclining Buddha of Wat Pho.

So get ready, a trip to Bangkok will be an adventure, a combination of your choosing where you can sample wild rides and tranquil moments and everything in between. Few places on earth will offer so many sensations that can be enjoyed in such a short space of time and in a single destination, all of it delivered with a smile, Thai style.
