Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and a gateway city for travellers exploring Southeast Asia. The city is known for its gilded Buddhist temples, royal palaces, floating and night markets, and a lively street food scene that draws visitors from across the world.
Beyond its cultural landmarks, Bangkok offers a modern side too, with rooftop bars, shopping malls and a Skytrain network that makes getting around simple. The Chao Phraya river runs through the city and adds a scenic backdrop to many of its top attractions.
A Bangkok holiday typically suits travellers looking for a short, affordable international trip that mixes sightseeing, shopping and food, all within a flight of around four hours from most Indian cities.
