About Bangkok

The colourful spires of Wat Pho Buddhist temple in Bangkok

Bangkok might be the launchpad for adventures in Thailand, but it'd be remiss of you (and your taste buds) not to spend some time in the Thai capital. The Grand Palace and the Wat Pho and Wat Arun temples offer a glimpse into the country's royal heritage and Buddhist traditions, but there’s heaps to explore beyond the highlights. Watch everyday life along the khlongs (canals) from a tail boat, snack through Maeklong Railway Market or dig into sticky rice, boat noodles and juicy skewers in the smokey alleys of Chinatown.
