Bangkok gets the balance right between the expensive, the esoteric and the profane. The squeaky-clean sky train and underground system make most of this huge metropolis navigable, whisking visitors from their luxury accommodation to a sparkling Buddhist temple or an ancient amulet market within minutes – a kind of time travel possible in few other cities of 11 million people.

River trips, museums, shopping centres and, of course, Bangkok’s nightlife (which has come a long way from gaudy to cosmopolitan) make for the defining Far Eastern urban experience. While Thailand has been ruled by a repressive military regime since 2014 and law and order tend to be rather selectively enforced, Bangkok remains one of the world’s safest cities; violent crime against foreign visitors remains relatively rare. Still, visitors should keep away from demonstrations that can turn violent and be wary of the police.

The summer heat puts many visitors off, though Thailand’s excessive New Year’s celebrations (Songkran is celebrated in mid-April) are a sight to behold. For a week, the capital turns into a battle zone for children and grown-ups alike, who roam the streets armed with water pistols, buckets of water and talcum powder, which is shot or hurled at all passers-by - and watch out, foreign visitors are favorite targets. Despite the heat, it’s really a fun time to visit and partake in Thailand’s most important festival.
