These magnificent structures, adorned with intricate golden spires and intricate artwork, showcase the city's deep-rooted reverence for Buddhism and its rich royal history.

The bustling streets of Khao San Road cater to backpackers and partygoers, while Sukhumvit Road offers upscale dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The vibrant street food scene is a culinary adventure in itself, with stalls serving up delicious Thai dishes on almost every corner.
