Those who enjoy the ultimate in chic urban destinations will find heaven in Bangkok. With more exotic sights and sounds than anyplace on earth, Bangkok’s hustle and bustle is a true, textural kaleidoscope. Top-tier spas present diverse menus of massages and treatments suffused with tantalizing scents, while Saphan Taksin Train Station, as well as luxury rental limousines, guide shoppers to opulent commercial districts throughout this cutting-edge city. Shopping opportunities in areas such as River City and Silom Road range from ultra-exclusive boutiques where guests are waited on like royalty to free-for-all bazaars where visitors can practice their bartering skills and sample the wares of street-side food vendors. Altogether, the experience of modern Bangkok includes everything from the sublime to the ridiculous, with plenty of smiles and laughter along the way.

Exploring Bangkok will take you on a fantastical journey through time. A thrilling trip on the futuristic SkyTrain gains visitors access to countless playfully themed dance clubs and gourmet restaurants as well as the National Museum, where Thai history and decorative arts are beautifully displayed;  the Grand Palace, with its awe-inspiring architecture; and the Royal Barge Museum, featuring breathtaking examples of Thai workmanship. To experience Bangkok’s living history, simply board a traditional water taxi and float alongside the locals, passing Bangkok’s famous Bhuddist temples including Wat Phra Kaeo, or Temple of the Emerald Bhudda, and Wat Po, or Temple of the Reclining Bhudda. These eye-catching monuments are stunning examples of Thailand’s ancient craftsmanship and deep spiritual traditions.

Both quaint water taxis and sophisticated tour boats offer the chance to enjoy the lights of Bangkok after dark, when temples are artistically lit and the city’s well-known nightlife begins to thrive. But for a most unusual view of this ultra-modern yet truly ancient city, rent a hang bao, or long-tailed water taxi, to venture into the heart of Bangkok’s waterways and view intimate glimpses into Thailand’s photogenic, traditional life.

Luxury hotels and resorts throughout central Bangkok ensure that when guests choose to leave behind the hurly-burly world of Bangkok’s shopping, dining, and sightseeing extravaganza, they relax completely into a universe of essential comforts and extravagant tastes. Offering visitors a taste of both the future and the past, Bangkok is an unparalleled vacation destination.
