Thailand / Bangkok / Attractions


Bangkok is probably the Asian capital with the greatest number of sightseeing attractions, enough to stimulate even the most experienced travellers. The Thai capital is truly the national treasure house.

Major tourism attractions range from glittering Buddhist temples and palaces to floating markets and timeless 'Venice of the East' canal scenes.

Visitors who explore back lanes in the city's riverside sections will come across the memorably unexpected - garlanded spirit shrines; palmists and astrologers quietly conferring with clientele; women poling lotus-filled sampans (small Chinese-style boats) through narrow waterways; somnolent temple courtyards where only tinkling wind bells disturb the air.
