A short guide about Scenic travel to Bangkok
Bangkok is considered to be one of the world's top tourist hotspots and Asia's best tourist destination. Bangkok is Thailand's major tourist gateway, which means that the majority of foreign tourists arrive in Bangkok. The city boasts some of the country's most visited historical venues such as the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun. There are also numerous projects to maintain Bangkok's historic sites in the Rattanakosin area and river districts, including the Dusit Palace; a complex of palaces and royal residences.
A number of deluxe hotels can be found in Bangkok, and the Banyan Tree on Sathorn is one of Bangkok's tallest hotels, featuring exceptional facilities and spectacular views of the city. Bangkok also offers a number of smaller boutique hotels which are scattered throughout the city such as Yaowarat Road, most notably in the backpackers' paradise on Khao San Road.
Thailand has a variety of shopping experiences from street markets to malls and Bangkok has over 15 world class malls, mostly centred on Sukhumvit Road and the Chatuchak weekend market is one of the largest shopping destinations in Bangkok.
Tourabout has quite a variety of vacation packages to Bangkok – the gateway to Thailand’s hottest destinations - where tourists enjoy the preferred markets and bazaars to other forms of shopping – the water markets are gradually disappearing, but remain strong tourist attractions as many tours are offered through the canals where the markets are located.
