Best Bangkok Tours from Hanoi

Thailand’s capital is a city of contrasts - ancient temples and royal palaces stand side by side with skyscrapers and mega-malls. For first-time visitors, Bangkok can feel overwhelming, but it’s also where you get the most complete picture of Thai culture. Popular highlights include the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun along the Chao Phraya River, while neighborhoods like Chinatown (Yaowarat) and Khao San Road show two very different sides of the city: one full of street food and heritage, the other catering to backpackers. Bangkok is also a foodie destination in its own right, from humble street stalls selling pad thai to Michelin-starred restaurants. A good tip: plan your days around neighborhoods to cut down on traffic time, since Bangkok’s gridlock is legendary.
