Full day in Bangkok
Bangkok is located on the banks of
the Chao Phraya River, the
traditional lifeblood of Thailand’s
fertile central plains, Bangkok is a
thrilling paradox. It is a
city that both preserves the old
with respect and embraces the new
with enthusiasm. The Thai capital
has been stays for more than two
centuries, Bangkok has in the last
20 years undergone more change than
at any other period during its
history. Concrete and glass
high rises have reshaped the skyline
and multi-lane expressways re-mapped
the city’s thoroughfares, while a
Sky train mass transit system and a
subway under construction are
opening up new ways to experience
the city.
The ultimate impact of all the
development is that Bangkok is now
better than it has ever been-greener,
more comfortable and quicker and simpler
to get around.
Likewise, the options for shopping, dinning and entertainment have vastly expanded in the last couple of decades. Now, modern luxury buys are available as well as traditional handicrafts; Thai restaurants are matched by others offering virtually the whole gamut of world cuisines, while entertainment can be as diverse as a classical concert at the Thailand Cultural Centre or an Irish band plying in an Irish pub.
