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.
