1. There are lots of places to explore
Bangkok is
one of the biggest cities in the world, and home to at least 10 million people.
If the sheer scale of the city doesn’t wow you, the eclectic mix of the past
and present will - futuristic shopping centres sit side by side with
centuries-old Buddhist temples – it’s unlike anything you’ve seen.
2. Everything is affordable
Bangkok is one of the only cities in the world where five-star hotels can cost you as little as £100 per night, sometimes even less depending on the time of year you visit.

Bangkok is
not only the capital of Thailand, but an epicenter for delicious cuisine from
all over Thailand. Tuck in to some true culinary classics like Thai green curry
or Pad Thai, your taste buds will not be disappointed!

Thai massages are to die for
There’s
nothing like a good Thai massage, and it’s an experience you just can’t afford
to miss when in the country’s capital city. Get lost in an authentic full body
Thai Massage, at a fraction of the price you would pay back home.

Things get really interesting when the sun sets
Bangkok has
one of the best night scenes in Asia, without a doubt. Whether you’re a party
animal or shopaholic, there’s always something to do through from sunset to
sunrise.
Soak up
some sun at one of Thailand’s popular beaches. A short plan ride will take
straight to the paradise islands of Phuket, Koh Samui and Ko Pen Yang. Trust
me, it’s well worth the journey.
What are you waiting for? Get out of those
winter warmers and pack your bags for warmer climes. Unlike the UK, this
gorgeous Thai capital enjoys a tropical climate throughout the year, so any
time is good a good time to book your flights from Tokyo to Bangkok.
But there’s no time like the present, right?
