Bangkok

Bangkok, one of Asia’s biggest tourist hubs, is a hubbub of sights, sounds, and smells. Lying just above the equator, Bangkok’s tropical climate assails the senses. But wearing light, airy clothing, battling a handful of mosquitoes, and getting a little sweaty is a fair exchange for visiting a city where plants take hold, growing from every possible surface and ripe, juicy tropical fruit is sold on nearly every street corner.
