Bangkok

Bangkok, is a sizable city distinguished by elaborate shrines and a bustling street scene. Flowing past the Rattanakosin royal area, home to the sumptuous Grand Palace and its sacred Wat Phra Kaew Temple, the boat-filled Chao Phraya River feeds its network of canals. Both Wat Pho Temple, with its large reclining Buddha, and Wat Arun Temple, with its steep steps and spire in the Khmer style, are nearby.
