Capital of Thailand and one of Asia's most cosmopolitan and compelling cities, Bangkok is a vibrant mix of ancient and modern. It's an intense city packed with people and a wealth of dazzling attractions. There are exotic temples, eclectic markets, gleaming palaces, ritzy shopping malls and, of course, the famous nightlife.
Enchanting Bangkok captures the excitement and vitality of the city through chapters on the spiritual heritage of its temples, the historic museums and monuments, the cabarets and dance performances, as well as the shopping opportunities offered in Silom Road, Sukhumvit Road and the Pratunam area.
