Aboard Azamara Onward with Azamara
Cruise Overview
Bangkok, also known as the City of Angels and Venice of the East thrills with energy.
There's such a vast array of sightseeing, shopping, and eating possibilities that you'll have little time to rest.
When you do find a moment, pamper yourself with spa treatments, skyline-view bars, luxurious hotels, and excellent restaurants.
The city is a mesmerizing blend of old and new, East and West, and dizzying contradictions.
Temples and red-light districts, languid canals and permanent gridlock, streetside vendors and chic upscale eateries, all make their home together, all at the same time.
Bangkok rarely fails to make an impression, and yes, you might need to go spend a few days on the beach to recover from it all.
Although Bangkok is not known for jaw-dropping tourist attractions, it does have an endless supply of worthwhile pilgrimages.
The Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, and the Emerald Buddha are tops on every visitor's itinerary, and lesser-known temples, such as Wat Benjamabophit, the golden stupa of Wat Sakhet, and Wat Suthat, are all worthy of a stop.
Besides temples, there are plenty of other interesting niches and touring possibilities to fit just about every interest.
Take in a venom extraction and python feeding show at the Queen Saowapha Snake Farm, or go to the nearby Jim Thompson House to learn all about the famed Thai silk industry.
If architecture is your forte, there is the Suan Pakkard Palace with its antique teak house collection, and the even more astounding Vimanmek Palace, which contains the world's largest golden teak building.
Bangkok's Chinatown merits at least a day on every travel itinerary—be sure to check out the sprawling labyrinthine Flower and Thieves markets.
Thai food is unrivaled for spice, taste, and variation.
From multicourse meals to small street vendors, the one constant here is fresh and delicious at every level.
You can have superlative roast duck or wonton noodles on a street corner for lunch and then be dining on world-class chef creations in the Oriental or Shangri-La hotels for supper.
It doesn't have to be all spicy Thai either, as Bangkok is home to excellent French, Italian, and other world cuisines, and you need a few years just to make a dent in all the options that are available.
The Old City is a major destination for travelers, as it's home to opulent temples like Wat Po and Wat Phra Kaew.
Across the river is Thonburi, a mostly residential neighborhood, where you can find Wat Arun.
At the northern tip of the Old City is Banglamphu, one of Bangkok's older residential neighborhoods.
It's best known now for Khao San Road, a backpacker hangout, though the neighborhood has much more to offer, especially when it comes to street food.
North of Banglamphu is Dusit, the royal district since the days of Rama V.
East of the Old City is Chinatown, a labyrinth of streets with restaurants, shops, and warehouses.
Farther down the Chao Phraya River is bustling Silom Road, one of the city's major commercial districts.
Patpong, the city's most famous of several red-light districts, is also here.
Bang Rak is home to some of the city's leading hotels: the Mandarin Oriental, the Peninsula, the Royal Orchid Sheraton, and the Shangri-La.
To the north of Rama IV Road is Bangkok's largest green area, Lumphini Park.
Continue north and you reach Sukhumvit Road, once a residential area.
More recently, Thong Lor, farther east along Sukhumvit, has become the "in" neighborhood for those want to see and be seen.
The Nana and Asok areas of Sukhumvit are now home to the even busier red-light entertainment districts (Nana and Soi Cowboy) than Patpong.
