Insider Travel Tips

  • Avoid gridlock on Bangkok streets by taking the subway, Skytrain, or a riverboat "bus".
  • Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS), commonly known as the "Skytrain", is an elevated rapid transit system in Bangkok.
  • Bangkok's historic center of temples, royal palace, canals, and Rattanakosin island make up the "Old City". (Hotels here include Riva Arun and the Chakrabongse Villas.) The outlying areas of tall buildings, parks, shops, and vibrant nightlife form the "New City".
  • Bangkok tops the list as the world's #1 most visited destination. 32 million foreign tourists stayed overnight in 2024. Istanbul, London, Paris, and Dubai were near the top.
