Chaotic, carnal and congested, Thailand's capital is divided by the Chao Phraya River and is nestled in one of the world's most fertile rice-producing deltas. Bangkok's 579 square miles (1 500 sq km) are criss-crossed by a series of canals carrying passengers and cargo. Its roads are clotted with endless traffic jams while the city sprawls in all directions with a hodgepodge of urban, commercial and industrial buildings.

A new overland metropolitan railway speeds above the city providing visitors with a relaxed and efficient way to observe the hustle and bustle below. Despite its pollution and overcrowding, Bangkok is undoubtedly one of Asia's most exciting cities and one of the world's largest, promising to reveal to each traveller the wild and untamed mysteries of the East.

Khao San Road is one of the city's most vibrant streets and is probably one of the best examples in the world of a backpacker's 'ghetto'. Day and night the short stretch of road is abuzz with activity. On the banks of the Chao Phraya River visitors will find the Grand Palace as well as Wat Phra Kaew, the palace temple housing the Emerald Buddha constructed entirely from translucent green jade. Slightly upriver are the exquisitely ornamented Royal Barges still used today for special floating processions. Of the 30 or so temples in Bangkok the largest is the Temple of the Reclining Buddha which houses an impressive statue of the deity.

The famous Floating Market is a delight to visitors and well worth a visit. As the sun lurches towards the horizon in the west and the sweat cools and this city of royalty and religion comes alive with a palpable decadence. Music and dazzling neon advertise a miasma of trendy bars and nightclubs as well as the notorious 'girlie joints' that have ensured the Patpong district its reputation for hedonism. Though the city's frenetic pace and infamous congestion can be overwhelming. A holiday in Bangkok is a must for anyone travelling in Thailand.
