Vibrant and exciting, Bangkok is a city rich in history, culture, and contrasts.
Known to locals as Krung Thep, or the ‘City of Angels’, Thailand’s capital offers a sensory overload from the moment you arrive. Its roads pulse with seemingly chaotic traffic, while its waterways tell a slower story aboard long-tail boats that glide through ancient canals. From the ornate temples of Wat Pho and Wat Phra Kaew to the bustling alleys of Chinatown and the endless sprawl of the Chatuchak Weekend Market, Bangkok delivers an experience that is anything but ordinary. Food is central to the city’s character, and visitors are spoilt for choice. From sizzling street stalls to hidden cafés, Bangkok is a paradise for those seeking authentic Thai cuisine. A few days here is a must on any Thailand holiday and a perfect starting point for discovering the country’s deeper rhythms.
Bangkok is packed with experiences beyond the usual sightseeing. Our signature tours go deeper: you might explore the back klongs by boat to discover the city’s trading past, or cycle through hidden alleyways and temple courtyards. Take in the city’s vibrant energy with a Thai boxing match or relax with a traditional massage after a day on your feet. Food lovers can join a Thai cooking class or simply follow their nose with a local guide through markets, cafés and street stalls, sampling the best of the capital’s cuisine. Bangkok also offers unbeatable value when it comes to accommodation. From boutique boltholes tucked into historic neighbourhoods to world-class luxury hotels with rooftop views, there’s something for every preference and budget. The BTS skytrain makes getting around simple, though your ideal base will depend on your style of travel. Speak to us for personalised suggestions.
