Bangkok is a metropolis of undoubted charm, with the lights and shadows of all the big populous cities. In terms of things to see, there is an embarrassment of choice. The capital of Thailand has an endless list of temples with sinuous and unmistakable architectural lines, typical of the Thai style, a country where Buddhism is a fundamental aspect of life. The beauty of Bangkok is also in the streets, teeming with people, open-air markets, where food street is among the best in the world.
