Bangkok is the financial, political and cultural capital of Thailand, located in the centre-south of the country, in the heart of a fertile rice-growing region. Bisected by the Chao Phraya River, which is overlooked by all the major palaces, Buddhist temples and luxury hotels, Bangkok is seventh heaven for those who love their food and their shopping. Its legendarily bad congestion has been eased by the opening of the BTS Skytrain in 1999 and the metro (MRT) 2005, which has finally given the city centre a quick and exhaust-free mode of transport. New is the Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link, a fast train linking the Bangkok International Airport with the City.

Khao Yai National Park and Elephant Ride Day Trip from Bangkok
Khao Yai National Park lies about 108 miles (175 kilometers) northeast of Bangkok and is Thailand's most visited reserve for good reason. Covering 1,347 square miles (2,172 square kilometers) of forests, jungles and grassland the park covers five vegetation zones and is one of the few remaining intact monsoon forests in Asia. The reserve is home to over 153 different species of animals, including 200-300 wild elephants, as well as other rarely seen mammals such as Asiatic black bear, tiger, leopards, barking deer to name a few. Exotic birds such as the great hornbill and the Himalayan ribbed bats also live inside the park and are protected by law. Sightings can never be guaranteed but it is great to wander the park knowing wildlife is out there!
En-route to the park your tour will stop at a local fruit market in the province of Nakhon Nayok so you can enjoy exotic fruits such as mango and rambutans - other wise known as the 'hairy fruit' which is similar to a lychee. Once at Khao Yai National Park you can take a walk along one of the well marked trails that wind their way through the mountains, forests, streams and waterfalls.
On your way back to Bangkok from Khao Yai you will stop at Pakchong Creek to experience a 45-minute elephant ride with a trusted mahout (elephant caretaker) through the lush forest.

Bangkok just gets better and better. The "City of Angels" is turning into
Asia's coolest city. Whether your trip is for business or pleasure, find out
a little more about Bangkok with our area guide.
Siam - Think shopping, think Siam, especially for upbeat clothes. Shop til' you
drop in the small streets (sois) or in huge shopping malls providing floors
of shops in air-conditioned comfort. When you're dazed with shopping, eat,
drink, take a break at the cinema, go bowling, sing in a modern karaoke or
chill out at Starbucks. It's all here. more...
Khao San Road - Formerly a quiet area with just a few budget guest houses, Khao San Road
in the district of Banglamphsu is rapidly becoming an alternative Bangkok
attraction and a "must do" on the backpacker and GAP student trail. Cheap
guest houses, street cafes, markets, boutiques, bars and lots of young
travellers on route to Thailand's tropical beaches provide a colourful
enclave in this old part of Bangkok. .

Ploenchit/Chitlom - If the riverside represents Bangkok's historical roots, the areas around
Ploenchit Road, Chitlom, Rajadamri and Lang Suan are the new face of
Bangkok. Characterized by high rise buildings, upscale apartments,
embassies, expensive shopping malls and luxury hotels, the area has its fair
share of chic places to be seen in. Le Royal Meridien President, the Grand Hyatt Erawan, the Conrad and the Hilton International are all
located around here. More...
Pratunam - One of Bangkok's most colourful areas, well known for its street markets,
bazaar and local vendors. Pratunam and the small Nai Lert markets offer
bargain prices for T shirts, jeans, fashion clothing, shoes, calculators,
watches, jewelry and all sorts of souvenirs. You'll need to look for the
entrances to the inside of the market, hidden between stalls and shops.
Cluttered, noisy and hot, but packed with great deals if you have the
stamina. More...
Silom - The most important financial and business area of Bangkok. Stretching from
the river fanning north-east from Taksin (Sathorn) bridge along Silom,
Surawong and and Sathorn Rd, the area contains a mix of older European,
Chinese and Indian influences, modern high rise buildings, restaurants,
shopping arcades, department stores, and entertainment areas like Patpong.

Chinatown - Chinatown is a colorful and busy area, packed with market stalls and
probably the greatest concentration of gold shops in the city. The Chinese
community, re-located from Rattanakosin in the early 19th century, still
continue their own traditions and religious practices and the area is quite
unlike the rest of the city. In addition to the markets, you'll find Chinese
temples, Taoist places of learning and traditional Chinese medicine shops
selling all sorts of fascinating remedies.

Amari Boulevard Hotel ...), old local stores, restaurants serving food
from all over the globe, furniture and antique shops, it reflects the pace
of change in the city. More...
Rattanakosin - Close to the river, just north of Chinatown, is Ko Rattanakosin, the
oldest part of Bangkok. Often referred to as an island, it was originally
carved out of a bend in the river to strengthen the defensive position of
the new Siamese capital in the 18th century and is the home of many the
city's traditional and historical attractions. More...

Bangkok Bars and Cocktail
Lounges - A guide to the best bars in Bangkok
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble and you might
well be floored by the breakneck pace and frenetic modernity of this wild
city. Polluted, over-populated and hemmed in by high-rises it seems vast and
untamable. But under the shadow of the skyscrapers and amid the chaos of the
screaming traffic, zombie like sex shows and pungent smells, is a city of
refinement and history, calm and culture. Golden Buddhist temples, a gentle
snaking river, colorful tuk tuks and wonderful kindness await the visitor.
The nightlife is like nowhere else in the East and the bars, restaurants and
clubs have people coming back time and again.
