Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a city of contrasts—where golden temples rise beside modern skyscrapers and floating markets thrive alongside luxury malls. Known for its vibrant street life, the city is packed with cultural treasures like the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, and the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho.
By day, visitors can cruise the Chao Phraya River, shop at buzzing markets, or sample world-famous street food. By night, Bangkok transforms into a lively hub of rooftop bars, night bazaars, and entertainment districts.
With its tropical climate, friendly locals, and a mix of tradition and modern energy, Bangkok is a must-visit destination for UK travellers—whether you’re flying for culture, cuisine, or a gateway to Thailand’s islands and northern adventures.
