Bangkok, Thailand

Loud, fast paced, edgy, charming and sweltering, Bangkok is the place where the philosophies of the East collide with the appetites of the West to create a sprawling explosion of colour and passion that is very rarely matched anywhere else on earth. The city is ferocious in its lust for activity and continually churns out a surfeit of sights, sounds and smells that will alternatively delight and astound the visitor.

It provides a heady mix between old world spiritualism and instant self-gratification always with an emphasis on enjoying the moment and squeezing the most out of any given opportunity. The people are friendly and laid back with a laissez faire attitude to life that can be intriguing, infectious and confusing. The conflicting influences which make up the city are amusingly eccentric and while gleaming shopping malls and westernised hotels cater for those with wallets stuffed full of Baht (local currency), many of the locals fit into an altogether more modest social bracket with traders and shopkeepers providing an inimitable street-side take on life.

Embrace the intrigue and magnetism of Bangkok and go where it leads you, exploring and discovering along your trails. From the night time bazaars and markets to the pulsating nightlife, from the conversations with humble taxi drivers to the many timeless temples, enjoy everything the city has to offer and you won’t be disappointed.
