Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand's capital, has over 14 million people and is a bustling, modern metropolis. Part of its allure is the Chao Phraya River, a waterway busy with boats floating past modern malls and luxury hotels alongside ancient temples. Bangkok overflows with 5-star hotels (many inexpensive and with executive lounges), Michelin-starred restaurants, and legendary street food.
How to get to Bangkok
Follow a main route from North America to Thailand. After arriving at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, take the Bangkok Airport Rail Link to the BTS or MRT to connect to your hotel or take a taxi (on average 450 THB, approximately $13).
