Aboard Viking Venus with Viking Ocean Cruises
Cruise Overview
There are two Bangkoks, the ancient soul of Thailand with its long and fascinating history and the frantic, modern metropolis that embraces the latest trends both Eastern and Western.
The two blend together remarkably well—even the most jarring juxtapositions of old and new somehow make sense.
Bangkok is not only the biggest city in Thailand, but also the most mesmerizing, with some of the country's most beautiful temples and shrines.
The city's energy is palpable, especially at night, when traffic opens up a bit, its famous markets get going, and everything seems lit up—from its proudest monuments to its seediest streets.
When Ayutthaya was besieged and pillaged by the Burmese in 1766, Thonburi became Thailand's capital.
The Thais call Bangkok Krung Thep (City of Angels), and in 1782 King Rama I moved his capital here, just across the Chao Praya River.
Laem Chabang is approximately 130 km (81 mi) from Bangkok.

Kuala Lumpur, or KL as locals refer to it, intrigues visitors with its diversity and multicultural character.
The city's old quarter features stretches of shop houses that hint at its colonial past, while modern buildings—including the iconic Petronas Towers—give a glimpse of its modern financial ambitions.
The city is filled with culturally colorful quarters dedicated to Chinese, Malay, and Indian communities.
New shopping malls with designer labels, five-star hotels, and top-notch restaurants also proliferate in this bustling city of 1.6 million.
