Destination Bangkok
Do you enjoy city trips? Then you'll love being on vacation in Bangkok because this capital, with its 20 million inhabitants, boasts numerous skyscrapers.
One must-do activity in Bangkok is admiring the view from the King Power Mahanakhon tower. You can choose to take in the city views by day or night, or... both!
Another "must-do" activity when traveling to Bangkok is indulging in the local specialties. Thailand is known for its delicious mangoes and other coconut milk-based desserts. For savory dishes, street food is the way to go, especially the famous Pad Thai: this flavorful and social dish is made up of stir-fried rice noodles with peanuts, bean sprouts, vegetables, and a protein of your choice. Spice lovers will be thrilled, as curry is popular in Thailand. The locals enjoy green curry (made with chili peppers) as well as the slightly milder red curry.
