Top tips for Washington D.C. to Bangkok
Discover Bangkok’s temples
There are numerous temples worth visiting in Bangkok, but What Pho (or Temple of the Reclining Buddha) stands out for its huge golden Buddha statue.
Another is Wat Arun on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. As awe-inspiring as any of Washington D.C.’s monuments, it stands 259 feet high and is covered in ceramic tiles, which make for amazing pictures by day – and especially by night.
Explore the night
Speaking of which, when darkness falls Bangkok comes to life with endless possibilities. Take a stroll through Chinatown, where you’ll find restaurants galore.
Visit rooftop cafes for sprawling city views. Head to Sukhumvit Road for some of the city’s most splendid malls and theatres. Khao San Road, meanwhile, has a real carnival atmosphere.
