Bangkok Thailand
Bangkok is an urban and cultural place, where all roads meet, an exaggeration of every aspect of life in the kingdom. Although the traffic jam and pollution, the city is the financial center of one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
The city has new construction and growing suburbs, but central Bangkok is all columns of glass and steel, shopping centres and hotels. Honesty Bangkok is not particulary ancient capital, but a cool mix of modern and traditional. The city has highly developed infrastructure, fine public transport systems and perhaps many visitors are disappointed that the city is less mysterious, less ”Asian” than they might have expected.
Bangkok has a concentration of luxury hotels unrivaled in the region and visitors can find anything from the most basic $3 cell to a ritzy high-rise suite. Whatever your budget, lodging is affordable and Bangkok is a good place to splurge for far more comforts than the same prices afford you back home. And food? They’ve got it all in the Thai capital: fine dining on par with any large city as well as great atmospheric local joints.
As well as you can wander in a day from busy, luxury shopping districts to quiet temple compounds, cacophonous markets to tiny alleyways. Get lost and explore. Even in a city choked by traffic, pollution and acres of concrete, you can find moments of serenity and are sure to experience a warm welcome from kind Thai folks.
