A spicy red Thai chicken curry with jasmine rice captures the essence of Thai cuisine. A masterful balance of spice, sweetness, acidity, and herbs. In Bangkok, curry is one of the most popular everyday dishes.

Did you know?

Suvarnabhumi Airport opened in 2006 and is one of the largest airports in Asia. The departure hall is one of the largest in the world and impresses with its unique steel and glass roof structure. Suvarnabhumi means „Golden Land,“ and the airport is the most important hub for Thai Airways. At over 130 metres, the airport's tower is one of the tallest control towers in the world!

Places of interest

Among Bangkok's cultural highlights are the magnificent Grand Palace and the adjacent Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha – one of Thailand's most important religious sites. Also impressive is Wat Arun, the „Temple of Dawn“, with its artfully decorated facade made of porcelain and ceramic fragments.

The enormous Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest in the world with over 8,000 stalls selling everything from clothing and handicrafts to street food and plants, offers a completely different experience. The stylish Jim Thompson House, a lovingly preserved ensemble of teak houses, provides an insight into traditional Thai architecture and silk production.

Away from the hustle and bustle, a quieter, more authentic side of the metropolis can be discovered by leisurely gliding through the khlongs, Bangkok's ancient canals. Here, the „Venice of the East“ reveals itself with floating markets, wooden houses and temples along the waterfront.

• There are more tuk-tuks than taxis in Bangkok.
• There's a „House of Giant Snakes“ where visitors can book snake massages (no joke!).
• Some street stalls sell insects like locusts and scorpions as crispy snacks.
• In Bangkok, there's a hotel with a cocktail served with real gold leaf.
