Steamy, frenetic, and exhilarating, Thailand’s capital city, located in the Chao Phraya River Delta, is a legendary travel destination.
This metropolis is equally famous for its rich cultural offerings, effervescent nightlife, superb shopping, and diverse dining options.
Bucket list items include a visit to the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, a morning boat trip down the canals to immerse oneself in the bustle of the floating markets, and a walk around the opulent Grand Palace.
The tourist hub of Khaosan Road, the MBK Centre, Siam Square, or on weekends, the vast Chatuchak market, offer further excellent shopping opportunities, while restaurants span every style, from incredible street food to five-star haute cuisine.
The SkyWalk at King Power Mahanakhon is a great spot for couples and photographers, while the Siam Society and Kamthieng House provide an in-depth introduction into Thai culture and folklore.
Ao Nang is a bustling beachside resort town in Krabi province - known for its aquamarine waters, golden shores and striking limestone karsts, which provide excellent rock climbing.
Ao Nang is the departure point for the more remote destinations of Railay and Tonsai, which can be reached via longtail boat, as well as picturesque Koh Phi Phi, which was immortalised in the blockbuster movie, The Beach.
Besides soaking up the sun and sea air, visitors to the area can enjoy a host of ocean-based activities, such as swimming, kayaking and scuba diving, or alternatively, head inland to experience the area’s jungle trails and hot spring waterfall.
