One of the features of the city are the famous temples: Wat Pho and Wat Phra Kaew, and Temple of the Emerald Buddha, near the Grand Royal Palace. Another valuable architectural structure is the Vimanmek Palace, the largest building in the world built in teak. Among the markets of the city, the Chatuchak market is very large and you can find everything, and the Taling Chan water market are worthy of mention, although it is now almost exclusively for tourists. About 40 km from Bangkok, there is the pink temple of Wat Samphran a very special and mysterious place.

Another city to visit is Chiang Mai, located in Northern Thailand, in an area where there are several national parks and nature trails. With its temples and markets it is a very characteristic and not chaotic city like Bangkok.

And after all these fabulous experiences you will be hungry! The cuisine, with its incredible variety of ingredients and the artistic beauty of the dishes, is another pride of this extraordinary country.
