Chic bars and clubs complement the ever-increasing array of gorgeous restaurants.  The ancient Thai culture, experienced through the wonderful temples, palaces and local markets is still a part of every day life in the Kingdom's capital and tourists are invited and encouraged to partake in all facets of it.
