Love big cities? Then you'll love this city with the tips from this Bangkok Travel Guide! This colorful city is always in motion. There's never a moment to rest your eyes, because there's something to see everywhere. Crowds of people, steaming food stalls, overflowing (night) markets for the best souvenirs, and mega shopping malls where you can find literally anything! Don't miss Terminal 21 Mall and Patpong Market. Bangkok has something for every budget; go local or stay in one of the design or boutique hotels.

Head to Chinatown to sample the street food or visit one of the trendy hotspots. For your caffeine fix, head to Porcupine Café in the hipster neighborhood of Ari. And ring in the evening at Mikkeller in Ekkamai, where you can dance the night away after a bite to eat. If you're backpacking, you might also enjoy exploring the area around the famous and vibrant Khao San Road. If the hustle and bustle gets a bit much, head to the rooftop of a hotel like the Sala Rattanakosin Hotel and enjoy Bangkok's enchanting skyline and the Temple of Dawn! This Bangkok City Guide features our favorite spots.
