Bangkok is one of the most exciting cities on the planet, with a mixture of the old and new you will have plenty to experience while visiting Bangkok.  With its wats and palaces, floating markets, traditional dancing, water taxis and thai boxing, you will never be without options in where to go. 

One of most beatiful parts of Bangkok is the amazing character of the Old City.  Here you will find the heart of Bangkok with its Grand Palace and the Golden Mount which is a short trip to the east, while when you go to the south you will come across old alleyways and temples in Bangkoks Chinatown. 

Head to the west over the Chao Phraya River and you will come across the fantastic views of Wat Arun and the khlongs of Thonburi.  Carry on to the east and south of the Old City and you will reach the modern day city with a multitude of boutiques.  These boutiques are what form the Siam Square. 

With its vibrant and exciting shopping centres, great culturing experience and the amazing weekend market of the Chatuchak Weekend Market in the northern suburbs of Bangkok.
