The beating heart of the Southeast Asian nation of Thailand, Bangkok sees impressive tourist numbers every year and it is easy to see why. Discover everything great about the bustling Thai heartland that draws tourists in droves, inviting holiday-seekers to experience a city getaway like no other.
Local Thai cuisine is, without a doubt, one of the biggest draws of the Southeast Asian nation, but when it comes to foods and drinks in Bangkok, it is the lively street food scene that is more specifically appealing to the hordes of tourists to the bustling metropolis. No matter where you are in the city, there's always a slew of street food stalls adding their tantalising aroma to the fascinating collage of chaos that is Bangkok. Pull up a stool at one of the many vibrant streetside food stalls and let your taste buds revel in the mouth-watering blend of exotic flavours.
Shopping in Bangkok is undeniably an unmissable experience with its sprawling open-air markets to towering high-end shopping malls that soar into the azure blue skies and Bangkok's most authentic marketplaces. However, the iconic floating markets where small wooden boats take the place of stalls or shops make shopping a fantastic experience to be had in Bangkok that treats your inner shopper. Make your way to a marketplace or two that your heart desires and pick up a few items to take back home that make for some lovely Bangkok souvenirs.
The lively Thai island of Pattaya might hold the title of "the nightlife capital of Thailand", but the bustling capital city is also never shaming when it comes to after-dark entertainment. No matter whether you are looking forward to a wild night or craving those late-evening mellow vibes, Bangkok really does treat its many visitors to an undoubtedly memorable night. Indulge in a bar on Khao San Road or Soi Cowboy, enjoy a night river cruise with breathtaking city views or dance your night away at a vibrant nightclub, where the party never does stop.
Enchanting tourist attractions are something that isn't even in the slightest scarce in the city of Bangkok. The sheer number of ornate shrines alone makes for some exciting touring. The mix of history, culture, and ultra-modernity in the host of tourist attractions in Bangkok is mind-blowing. Venture out into the atmospheric metropolis and tour the best of the capital city attractions that define Bangkok.
No trip to Bangkok would be complete without treating yourself to a rejuvenating Thai massage. Vacationing tourists can indulge in a whole range of authentic Thai wellness treatments from the comfort of their 5 Star Bangkok hotel, including the likes of Emporium Suites by Chatrium.
