It's the capital of a country known as “Land of Temples”, so it should come as no surprise that temples pepper the place.
In the morning, the scents of incense smoke waft into nostrils; the sounds of temple bells and religious chants come on the air. Wander around in the city and what heave into view are majestic pagodas and fish bone-shaped roofs patterned with red, green and yellow, cloaking the city in mystery. Bangkok possesses both a hectic and relaxed feel. People are friendly and hospitable, wearing winsome smiles and greeting you with “Sawadeeka”.
The royal complex of Siam style is an icon of Bangkok and a destination no visitor to the city should miss. It's a treasure trove of Thai architecture, paintings, sculptures and artistic interior décor.
The holy site of Buddhist worship northeast of The Grand Palace is hailed as one of the country's most prized national treasures.
Bustling, affluent and chic are some of the adjectives that aptly describe the square in downtown Bangkok. It's the stomping ground of both the locals and visitors. Ladies will be taken with “Bangkok Bags”.
It's a distinctive marketplace where the locals and visitors love, especially bargain hunters. After nightfall, vendors on boats are surrounded by the simmers of fireflies- an interesting sight.
