Bangkok is a city, mandatory to visit everyone who flew to Thailand. No matter what the goal of your visit is. And here little to limit the fact that you have landed at Bangkok airport, and then proceeded on the transfer to your destination, like Pattaya. Wherever you are, if possible, come to Bangkok, no matter, having bought a tour or independently.
Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, and the fumes of this megapolis proves this fact. The plugs here are the phenomenon so constant that it can be called the city of traffic jams. Although the authorities are doing everything possible to eliminate them, which is at least the global road junction. But tourists always have alternative versions of transportation in the city, so you can penetrate the spirit of Thailand, moving on the boats through the channels, taking them as a taxi, or on public transportation - boats cruising along the Piao Praia River. Moreover, the passage will not break your pocket, the fare of boats usually does not exceed 30 baht (rubles). You can also take an ordinary taxi, the payment of which will be paid in the counter, as a rule, much less than you expected. Or motorcycle.
All in Bangkok is a reflection of Thai culture. Of course, there are many tourist places, but it would be strange if the city did not focus on tourists. Bangkok - City of Contrasts! Here around skyscrapers stretched Thai markets with cheap food and clothing. Food is generally a separate topic. Here it is possible very cheap, tasty and satisfying to eat literally at every corner. And if you need a variety and want something "sort of", then you need to visit the restaurants and cafes located on the roofs of the height. The view here is simply amazing, you can feel like a kinoger - somehow)
If less pathetic entertainment is needed, then a straight road to Kaosan Street. Here you can have a lot of fun in bars, buy inexpensive clothes and souvenirs, make a massage, tattoo, and also find a very budget place for overnight stay, putting 300-400 baht per room for two.
And, of course, the temples of Bangkok. These are amazing, stunning with its beauty of the structure, the story about which requires a separate recall, and not one! They have the entire soul of Thailand.
We can say a lot about Bangkok. But it is better to come and see everything with your own eyes, indifferent this city will not leave anyone.
