About Bangkok

Bangkok is de uitbundige hoofdstad van Thailand, met vergulde tempels en koninklijke paleizen langs de rivier tussen eetkraampjes, markten en torens.

Het Groot Paleis en Wat Phra Kaew, waar de vereerde Smaragdgroene Boeddha huist, glinsteren op het oude koninklijke eiland Rattanakosin. Ernaast herbergt Wat Pho een gigantische liggende Boeddha en een beroemde school voor Thaise massage, en aan de overkant van de Chao Phraya gloeien de met porselein bezette torens van Wat Arun bij zonsondergang.

Top-ranked sights in Bangkok: Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok Chinatown (Yaowarat), Grand Palace.
