Bangkok

Temples, canals and the best street food in Asia

Thailand's capital rewards curiosity. Spend a morning among the spires of the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, take a longtail boat through the Thonburi canals, then eat your way down Yaowarat Road after dark. The BTS and MRT make it far easier to cover than the traffic suggests.
