Why you'll love it
Bangkok is Thailand's capital and one of the world's great street-food cities. It gets Triptakeo's top score for food, and 9 out of 10 for nightlife and value, so it's an easy pick for a city break where eating out is half the fun and the budget stretches a long way.
The best time to visit Bangkok is November to February, the cool, dry season, when walking between temples and markets is most comfortable. March to May is very hot, and the rainy season runs from around June to October.
The Grand Palace, Wat Pho with its reclining Buddha, and Wat Arun across the river are the classic sights, best reached by river boat. Chatuchak Weekend Market has thousands of stalls, and Chinatown's Yaowarat Road comes alive with food stalls at night. Sukhumvit is a convenient base, with Skytrain access and rooftop bars.
Bangkok suits food lovers, first-time visitors to Asia and anyone wanting an energetic city break.
