Bangkok is currently the most visited city in the world, attracting 22.87 million travellers in 2022 alone. It’s popularity is due to its prime flight path location, hectic charm and rapid current of life that pours down each street. People flow into the city with an expectation to taste the adventures of the unknown and they rarely leave unsatisfied.
The first questions travelling newbies often ask is if Bangkok is actually like The Hangover? Although the movie plays on the extremes of Bangkok lifestyle, you will pass through the beautiful madness of Chinatown and understand why they chose to set the film in these wonderfully chaotic streets, and across its towering sky lines.
So what flavours can you expect from Bangkok, the street food capital of the world? Well expect it all. Taste Jay Fai AKA the queen of street food’s Noodle Soup or boldy crunch through tarantula, scorpion, fertilised eggs and more trialing tastes to the western palate.
Day trips exploring the local weekend markets, golden temples, and shopping malls, dive into Thai tradition by visiting a Muay Thai fight, cooking class or Thai massage.
Even sleeping in Bangkok becomes adventurous, choose from pod capsules to Sook Station Prison fit with striped pyjamas and mugshots.
If the inner city gets too and you need a relaxing break from Bangkok the nearby national parks of Khao Yai and Sai Yok provide a peaceful getaway.
