Thailand's cosmopolitan capital is a heaving city of 11-plus million and home to some of the country's top cultural sights. From the shimmering roofs of the Grand Palace to the neon lights of Bangkok's electric nightlife zones, visitors have plenty to keep themselves busy in the Big Mango.
Sukhumvit is Bangkok's commercial core and where you will find its most modern shopping malls while Silom sheds its daytime business faade for a more risqu party scene in Patpong at night. Chinatown and Khao San Road have become famous among budget travellers for their thrifty hotels but upper-end options along the Chao Phraya River offer more comfort and great views.
Bangkok receives flights from around the globe at its shiny new Suvarnabhumi International Airport, just a 20-minute taxi ride from the city centre.
