Very few cities on earth reveal the true essence of streets and where tourists get to explore every detail of it on foot. Bangkok, with its high-rise buildings, heavy traffic congestion, intense heat and vibrant nightlife, do not immediately give you a warm welcome, but don’t let that first impression mislead you. Get lost in the tiny streets of the vibrant districts of Bangkok and experience the city’s extensive culture, enjoy its infamously wild nightlife and moreover, if you haven’t eaten on the streets, you haven’t experienced real Bangkok.
