 Bangkok is a sensory delight. You'll be swept away by a bombardment of visual contrasts - gold, leaf-covered temples beside modern office buildings and streets full of the exotic aromas of curry, ginger, and chili peppers, plus the beep-beep, ring-ring, and putt-putt of cars, motorcycles, and three-wheeled tuk-tuks.
Along canals, known as klongs, women paddle their shallow boats and sell ivory-colored orchid leis and yellow plantains. In the center of the city, the Emerald Buddha holds court surrounded by rubies, sapphires, and gold. There is also a temple with at least one Buddha for every day of the year. And nearby, a building is graced by a five-and-a-half ton, solid-gold Buddha, discovered purely by accident when plaster used to hide its value from thieves cracked and revealed the treasure inside. Beautiful and friendly, the Thai people bring new meaning to the word welcome.
