Visit Bangkok

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and, with a population of over eleven million inhabitants, by far its largest city. Its high-rise buildings, heavy traffic congestion, intense heat and naughty nightlife may not immediately give you the best impression but don’t let that mislead you. It is one of Asia’s most cosmopolitan cities with magnificent temples and palaces, authentic canals, busy markets and a vibrant nightlife that has something for everyone.

I love elephants and have always wanted to visit Thailand so Katie helped my husband and I create an itinerary around this. It was such a special experience near Chiang Mai before we flew down to the beach and learnt to dive – a new passion of ours! Thank you so much.
