Gilded temples, riverside markets, and some of the best street food on earth: a city that rewards travelers who know where to look.
Bangkok moves between the sacred and the sensory: gilded temples along the Chao Phraya, tangled night markets, and rooftop bars glittering over the skyline.
River ferries cut across the traffic faster than any taxi, dropping you at a temple or a market stall in minutes. Base yourself here for two or three days before heading to the islands, and let a travel expert edit the chaos into something unforgettable.
