Bangkok has been called one city that never sleeps. It is many things — wonderful, wayward and contradictory — but always interesting. With chic modernity masking an ancient heart, the Thai capital is a crucible of change. Time Out shows travelers the best Bangkok has to offer — from gourmet street food and indulgent spas to amazing festivals, notorious nightlife, hippest beach retreats and a paradise for shoppers. The wide array of tourist attractions range from sacred temples and places to commercial shops with a vast selection and price range. The city hosts a variety of festivals and holidays throughout the year as well. And since English is mandatory in all public schools, the language barrier tends to be minimal. The guide also explores beach escapes, from weekend getaways to southern island retreats. Time Out Shortlist Bangkok uncovers what really makes Angel City smile.
