Scratch Bangkok's surface and youll find a city with megamalls minutes from 200-year-old homes, temples sharing space with neon-lit strips of sleaze, and food cartlined streets overlooked by bars perched on skyscrapers. As Bangkok races towards the future, these quirks will continue to supply the city with its unique brand of Thai-ness.
Easily the most ostentatious temple in Thailand, Wat Phra Kaew blows minds with its blinged-out structures and Emerald Buddha. Next door, the Grand Palace is the equally decadent former residence of Thailand's royal family.
Bangkok Top Sights
At nearly 50m long and 15m high, it's impossible not to be awed by Wat Pho's reclining Buddha. If you require more than just girth, the grounds are also home to a traditional massage school.
Bangkok Top Sights
The eponymous American silk entrepreneur mysteriously disappeared in 1967. His Thai-style former home lives on as a visit-worthy repository for ageing local traditions and artwork.
Bangkok Top Sights
In a city obsessed with commerce, Chatuchak takes the prize as Bangkoks biggest and baddest market. Silks, sneakers, fighting fish and fluffy puppies if it can be sold in Thailand, youll find it here.
Bangkok Top Sights
It's the setting by the river, rather than the gold or Buddha statues, that draws most folks here. And justifiably: the views are great and Wat Arun is one of the few temples visitors can climb on.
Bangkok Top Sights
Leave the city behind at this artificial yet thoroughly rural-feeling island in Mae Nam Chao Phraya. Arrive on a weekend and combine your excursion with a busy open-air market and unique eats.
Bangkok Top Sights
All the gold in Chinatown (and believe us, there's a lot) would scarcely be enough to recreate this nearly 6-ton, solid-gold Buddha image. Let the jaw-dropping begin at this temple in Bangkok's Chinatown.
Bangkok Top Sights
Witness Victorian sense and Thai sensibilities merging in this former royal enclave. Visit museums and the worlds
largest teak building, or simply take advantage of Dusit Palace Parks green setting itself an anomaly in Bangkok.
Bangkok Top Sights
The remains of the once decadent capital of Siam are now a Unesco World Heritage Site, and an easy and must-do day trip from Bangkok.
Insider tips to help you find the real Bangkok
Don't want to feel like a sheltered package holidaymaker? Rest assured that it's a cinch to get local in Bangkok, a city where hectic tourist attractions often rub shoulders with classic local neighbourhoods.
Fun bars
Live music
Bangkok's most traditional 'hood is also one of its best for nightlife. Parts of Banglamphu can feel dominated by the backpacker magnet that is Th Khao San, but just off the main strip are heaps of bars, cafes and restaurants frequented mostly by young locals.
Street food
Urban exploration
Many places in Chinatown have neither roof nor menu, but it's not unusual for locals to brave traffic, heat or rain for a meal here. Not surprisingly, Chinese-style dishes rule think noodles, pork and fried dishes but seafood, sweets and fruit also have their places.
Live music
Regional Thai food
Want a taste of provincial Thailand without leaving Bangkok? Head to this suburban 'hood colloquially known for its main landmark. Here you'll find fun bars, live music and good food, from bars boasting wine and cheese to street-side stalls hawking northeastern Thai specialities all served up without a hint of big-city pretension.
