It’s a city that never sleeps and offers something for every traveler, whether you seek spiritual serenity, culinary adventures, vibrant nightlife, or world-class shopping.
At the heart of the city lies the Grand Palace, a must-see attraction that once housed the Thai royal family. Within its walls, visitors can marvel at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), one of Thailand’s most sacred sites. Nearby, Wat Pho, home to the massive Reclining Buddha and the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, offers a glimpse into the city’s spiritual soul.
