Bangkok is a city of contrasts and charisma, where golden temples shimmer beside sleek rooftop bars and timeless traditions blend effortlessly with world-class dining and design. A vibrant gateway to Thailand, it offers luxury with a distinct cultural soul.
Of all Bangkok’s sites, perhaps the most impressive is the Grand Palace and its centrepiece temple, Wat Phra Kaeo, home to a revered jade green Buddha believed to date from 1434.
A dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River is an absolute must, offering front-row views of the city’s skyline, with Wat Arun and Wat Pho beautifully illuminated.
The city’s floating markets remain a vivid spectacle, where traditional wooden boats brim with tropical produce, crafts and local delicacies.
Nowhere is the Thai reverence for food more evident than in Bangkok, from Michelin-star restaurants and open-air street stalls to the cinematic Sky bar on the 64th floor of lebua at State Tower.
Bangkok lays claim to Thailand’s largest temple, Wat Pho, whose giant 46-metre reclining Buddha is covered in gold leaf, with soles decorated with mother of pearl.
Dynamic and endlessly fascinating, Bangkok is a city that rewards the curious and indulges the senses. From the gilded spires of the Grand Palace to the serene majesty of Wat Pho’s reclining Buddha, it is steeped in history yet pulsates with modern energy. Wat Arun’s riverside beauty and the golden splendour of Wat Traimit add spiritual elegance to the skyline, best admired from the deck of a Chao Phraya River cruise.
Once dubbed the ‘Venice of the East’, Bangkok still charms with its floating markets, where longtail boats brim with tropical fruits and fragrant street food. For those seeking indulgence, the city offers an extraordinary mix of five-star hotels, designer shopping, holistic spas and a nightlife scene that ranges from cocktail lounges to hidden jazz bars. Whether discovering cultural treasures or retreating into luxury, Bangkok is a city that always delivers with flair, style and an unmistakable sense of place.
