Often chaotic, sometimes daunting and always colourful city, Bangkok is the most common and usually most convenient, entry point to Thailand. Located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River (the river of kings) the city teases and delights all who take the time to explore. Full of temples, palaces and markets that seem to busy 24/7 there is always something going on to suite all tastes. Bangkok is a city of contrasts, from the huge silver gleaming office blocks downtown to the shanty towns and poverty on the outskirts. All visitors will also experience these contrasts, the chaotic roads to the quiet canal systems, the serene ancient temples to the frenzied designer shopping malls - everyday in this special city will give up something to remember. The hotels and restaurants in Bangkok are amongst the best in the world, as is the famed hospitality of the people. The city is a place to explore or relax depending on your mood.
