Bangkok - City of Angels
Thailand’s capital is now the most visited city in the world, ahead of Paris and New York. Perhaps it’s because many tourists heading for Pattaya, Phuket, or Koh Samui stop over in Bangkok at the beginning or end of their trip. Bangkok isn’t an easy city. It’s full of contrasts: hectic streets and skyscrapers, but also side streets lined with old teak houses that recall the Siam of days gone by. And right in the middle of it all is the world’s largest Chinatown. I’ve put together all kinds of interesting things for you. You can choose what you’d like to do during your short stay.
