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.
