Bangkok is a city of contrasts - serene Buddhist temples stand beside neon-lit streets, traditional longtail boats navigate the same rivers as modern express boats, and ancient palaces overlook sprawling shopping malls. Known locally as Krung Thep (City of Angels), Thailand's capital offers an intoxicating mix of culture, cuisine, and excitement.
Our comprehensive city guide helps you navigate between Bangkok's must-see landmarks and hidden local gems, ensuring you experience the full spectrum of this dynamic metropolis.

Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is Bangkok's main international airport, located about 30km east of the city. Don Mueang Airport (DMK) serves budget airlines and some regional flights.
Bangkok's BTS Skytrain and MRT subway are efficient ways to beat traffic. Taxis are inexpensive but often stuck in jams. Tuk-tuks are fun for short trips. River boats are scenic for riverside destinations.
Dress modestly when visiting temples (cover shoulders and knees). Carry small bills for markets and street food. Learn basic Thai phrases - locals appreciate the effort. Stay hydrated - Bangkok is hot year-round.
"Bangkok's energy is like nowhere else! The street food tour arranged by TropicGo Vacations was the highlight of our trip - we ate like locals at places we would never have found on our own. The Grand Palace left us speechless with its beauty."
