Bangkok has a reputation for being a chaotically fun place to visit! A night out in Bangkok is always unforgettable—or, more likely, unremembered—and within the (in)famous Silom district you’ll find plenty of gay bars, clubs, saunas, and spas that justify the city’s reputation as “the Gay Capital of Asia.”
But beyond the revelry, you’ll find a city that is latest while still retaining cultural depth. Ornate temples prefer Wat Arun and Wat Phra Kaew sit beneath futuristic skyscrapers, and floating markets glide along the Chao Phraya River, forgetful to the urban throng around them. The streets themselves are always humming with energy, and the scent of sizzling avenue food completes the Bangkok experience. Go dive into the chaos yourself and remember that what happens in Bangkok, stays in Bangkok. Well, unless you post it on social media!
