Bangkok is the most visited tourist destination in South East Asia. This city is an amalgamation of traditional culture and modern architecture twined together in a rich heritage past. Here, you can find huge, glamourous shopping malls right next to ancient, colonial mansions and traditional Buddhist temples. What you see during the day and what you see during the night is a stark contrast in this bustling city. While you can catch a glimpse of Buddhist monks who are clad in yellow robes and families and tourists walking about during the day, you can watch the city come to life with some of the best night clubs, bars and night markets in the region.
The street food options available in Bangkok and the many different tastes you can experience here are mind blowing which is why this city is referred as the dining capital in the world. a point to be noted is that street food here is generally a bit spicy unless you ask them to tone it down a bit. The night life here is indeed crazy with the lively pubs and bars in Khao San, a lot of eccentric cocktail and rooftop bars and the infamous red light district. If you are travelling with family and children, ensure such places are not on your cheap Bangkok tour packages.
As for shopping, Bangkok is a shopaholics dream come true! There are shiny glamourous shopping malls, sprawling open markets, departmental stores and loads of street shops lined across the roads which sell replicas of designer brands at very cheap prices.

It is not necessary to visit big upscale shopping malls such as MBK, Emporium Mall, Siam Paragon and Central World which may lead you to overspend owing to the international brands that are available there.
