Golden palaces, floating markets, soaring temple spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Thon Buri is home to the magnificent Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. But this isn't a city stuck in the past—it's alive and thumping with modernity, especially when it comes to its world-famous nightlife and street markets. Savour mango sticky rice at a food stall and get lost in the crowds.
