Bangkok

Photo: Evoflash

Dynamic, exotic and richly cosmopolitan, Bangkok is one of South East Asias most vibrant and
cherished travel destinations. A city of contrasts, this cultural epicentre and shopping paradise
entices millions of travellers each year to its bountiful markets, luxury hotels, stunning scenery
and tantalizing cuisine. Where ancient and modern coincide, Bangkoks glorious golden temples
and world-class skyscrapers await. Revel in the frenetic pace as you soak up the sights, shop
until you drop then tuk-tuk around town for a zesty slice of Bangkoks indulgent and risqu
nightlife.
