Bangkok

The bustling Bangkok is THE place where every tour through Thailand starts. And therefore it is also the place where newly Asia-goers have their first introduction to Asian culture. Bangkok is a metropolis that is loved and hated. It is a cultural treasure trove of important temples and the impressive Royal Palace. You will find brand new shopping and an ultra-modern Skytrain network. But also local markets, numerous street vendors and traffic chaos which is beyond crazy. An oppressive heat and penetrating smell of all the food that is being sold on the street. But you will also find new flavours and taste sensations just because Bangkok is the culinary epicentre of Thailand.
Bangkok usually gives people a culture shock immediately after the first encounter, but take your time and open yourself up to this new world and your might just fall in love with this busy, chaotic but friendly and safe city.
