Location Overview:
If you want to explore a city with an expansive canal system, historic architecture, and a bustling crowd of international tourists, Venice isn’t your only option. Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, has been rated the most visited city in the world. Whether you’re a foodie, sports fan, or history buff, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
While Thailand was never colonized, Bangkok became a key port for spreading Western ideas and materials. Today, it’s a medley of old and new, with vibrant markets, stunning Buddhist temples, and a palace situated alongside busy roads and high-end shopping malls. And if you don’t want to get stuck in traffic, catch the BTS Skytrain, which soars high above the pavement.
