Bangkok: A city where the old meets the new

The Thai capital of Bangkok is the most frequented gateway to the Southeast Asian world. The city has abundance in store to offer to its visitors and though it may not be possible to explore all of it in a single trip, you can definitely visit the major landmarks that are synonymous with the city at the first instance and leave the treasures for a return trip.

Bangkok is a truly amazing destination. Every moment spent here is special and memorable. This is why it has been on the top in the wish-list of global travellers since a very, very long time. Filled to the brim with culture and heritage, it takes you on a journey back in time as well as offers many interesting modern attractions to make your trip an ultimate experience.

The Thailand capital is an all year destination; however, the cooler months from November to March is the best time to book your flights to Bangkok, though every season has its own charm. Shopping, food, events and cruises are indulgences that are a must when in this city besides an enriching sightseeing experience.
