Welcome to Bangkok

Welcome to Bangkok, one of the world’s most exhilarating destinations where half-measures simply don’t suffice.

With its gilded temples, futuristic skyline and a vibrant mix of sights, sounds and aromas, the city pulsates with an unmatched energy. It’s no wonder why so many fall in love with Thailand’s charmingly chaotic capital.

Today, greater Bangkok sprawls across approximately 1,500 sq km in the Chao Phraya River delta and is home to over 9.5 million inhabitants according to recent estimates.

From its humble beginnings as a sleepy village, Bangkok has evolved into  Thailand’s bustling epicentre since King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama 1) established his capital on Rattanakosin Island in 1782.

Chaotic, bewildering, yet undeniably enchanting, the capital continues to captivate visitors.

Regularly ranked among the world’s best cities, Bangkok is a realm of endless contrasts where tradition seamlessly blends with modernity, spirituality coexists with the mundane and the sacred mingles with the profane.

Many of Thailand’s attributes reach their zenith in the capital.

Bangkok’s allure lies in its diverse offerings. From delectable street food and hidden culinary gems to opulent high-end experiences, the city's food scene is a highlight. Its vibrant nightlife and myriad shopping opportunities further add to its appeal.

While Bangkok embraces its contemporary persona with glitzy malls and vibrant nightclubs, it also boasts a quieter more spiritual side characterised by ornate temples and palaces, serene canals and rich artistic culture.

Visitors can spend their days exploring hidden neighbourhoods, cruising along the Chao Phraya River and indulging in mouthwatering street food delicacies like gai yang (grilled chicken) and som tam (spicy papaya salad).

Bangkok may be hot, bustling and occasionally frustrating, but it is never dull.
