One of the greatest cities on earth! Yes, really. Bangkok drives people away as quickly as it embraces those with a bit of patience, those who are not turned off by incessant traffic, pollution and noise. Beneath the rather rough exterior lies a mega-city just waiting to be extracted.

From suburbs with uber hip cafes, to intense markets, to smiling noodle vendors, to underground bars, to local seafood restaurants swamped with delicate scents, to predominantly Indian areas full of delicious treats, to parks and museums and galleries and sin drenched alleyways, it truly offers something for anyone of alternate leanings.

Our guide is written with a spiderweb of informants and information gathered over the past 25 years. Give it a spin!
