Wats and palaces, markets and shopping, traditional dancing and Thai boxing, glorious food, tuk-tuks and water taxis fill Bangkok. Get over the pace and pollution and you’ll have a ball in Bangkok. This is one of the most engaging cities on the planet and its infectious, amiable energy soon wears down even the staunchest tree-hugger. Begin your sojourn in the bejewelled beauty of the Old City. Here you’ll find the regal heart of Bangkok at the stupendous Grand Palace. The charming Golden Mount is a short hop to the east, while to the south are the bewildering alleyways and gaudy temples of Bangkok’s frenetic Chinatown. Head west over the Chao Phraya River to the magnificent spire of Wat Arun and the khlongs of Thonburi. To the north sits the broad, leafy avenues of Dusit, the home of the Thai parliament and the king’s residence. Carry on east and south and you’ll reach modern Bangkok. A multitude of mini-boutiques forms Siam Square and the Thai capital’s centre of youth fashion; Silom and Sukhumvit roads are vibrant runs of shopping centres, restaurants and hotels while the Chatuchak Weekend Market (known to locals as JJ), in the northern suburbs, is one of Asia’s greatest markets.
