Bangkok can be as frenetic or as relaxing as you wish! You can chill out poolside and enjoy the zen of the many temples or party all night in the clubs and bars, discover new taste experiences on the streets of Chinatown or dine out with stunning views on a 5 star rooftop!
Bangkok, home to more than 8 million people is one of the busiest cities in the world and home to one of the most diverse gay scenes. Most of the popular tourist areas are located within the central districts and are well served by the BTS skytrain.
