Bangkok Vacations

Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand. One of the most impressive buildings in the city is the ancient Grand Palace (note that dress regulations apply). Wat Pho and Wat Suthat are both temples that are open to the public. Wat Pho houses a massive reclining buddha, which is 150 feet high. Flights are available to Thailand with Thai Airways from Los Angeles, and with United Airlines from San Francisco.

Chaotic, carnal and congested, Thailand's capital is divided by the Chao Phraya River and is nestled in one of the world's most fertile rice-producing deltas. Bangkok's 579 square miles (1,500 sq km) are criss-crossed by a series of canals carrying passengers and cargo, its roads clotted with endless traffic jams, while the city sprawls in all directions with a hodgepodge of urban, commercial and industrial buildings. A new overland metropolitan railway speeds above the city, providing visitors with a relaxed and efficient way to observe the hustle and bustle below.
