Bangkok is a city with many faces. It is hard to define and hard to explain. The contradictions are everywhere... Red light districts in plain sight next to luxury shopping malls. Backpackers' mecca of cheap street stalls is contested by outstanding world-class restaurants and hotels. Run down old buildings, crossing wires and dark allis are quickly forgotten before the sight of richly decorated palaces and temples... It is a city that has to be experienced and cannot be defined.
