Bangkok

Bangkok is the gateway for almost every trip to Thailand, and for many visitors it never gets further than that — the city has enough to fill any trip on its own.

Nightlife zones

The three best-known adult nightlife zones are Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza and Patpong, each with its own character and crowd. Soi Cowboy is the most photogenic and compact; Nana is the biggest; Patpong mixes a night market with its bars.

Beyond the bars

Daytime Bangkok is temples, river boats, mega-malls and some of the best food on the planet — from ฿60 street noodles to Michelin stars.
