Holidays in Phuket |
Bangkok
It's hard to imagine any
other city being in as exhilarating a position as Bangkok finds
itself in today. The clichéd images of the Thai capital have been
blown away by its astonishing evolution into a city that will
surprise newcomers and returning visitors alike.
The Chao Phraya River is still the epicentre of a city that
celebrates its past whilst embracing the future. Cruises and river
taxis ferry locals and visitors along, providing a chance to take in
some of the stunning temples that are an unmissable part of any
visit to Bangkok. Hire a long-tailed boat for the day and explore
the 'klongs', the canals that are home to the famous floating
markets of the city, where you'll have a chance to appreciate Thai
homes and gardens.
The Grand Palace is one of the world's most impressive tourist
attractions. The grounds are everything you could imagine them to
be, with a dazzling array of golden statues and multi-tiered spires.
Towering above the beautifully preserved traditional architecture
are hotels that epitomise the tasteful sophistication of the new
Bangkok. This new breed of hotel will please even the most
discerning guest. They are effortlessly suave, incorporating modern
Thai sensibilities with ultra-tasteful western chic.
From gourmet restaurants and space age nightclubs to night markets
and hip bars, Bangkok appeals to your every whim. Haggle your way to
incredible bargains at the countless market stalls, experience some
of the best cuisine you'll taste anywhere, and settle back with a
drink listening to lounge music or a Thai Elvis impersonator - the
city caters to every taste and budget.
Whilst the markets have their own particular charm, if you've left
your bartering head at home, there is always the retail therapy
enjoyed in places such as the Emporium Shopping Centre. Here you'll
find enough designer attractions to keep even the most demanding
followers of fashion in new looks.
However you choose to travel around the capital, you'll find it a
memorable experience in itself. The three wheeled tuk-tuks buzz
through the traffic and make taking a taxi look positively
pedestrian. The city's Sky Train soars above the bustle of the
Bangkok traffic, a one-way track through the doors of Thailand's new
spirit of consumerism.
