Thailand’s capital city of Bangkok continues to draws millions of people from all over the world each year.

With more than 20 million visitors in 2018, Bangkok was ranked as a top city for tourism and business by Mastercard’s Global Destination Cities Index.

Described as the most vibrant and intriguing places in the world, Mastercard predicts that Bangkok will remain a top destination for travelers.

One of the many reasons for Bangkok’s popularity has to do with the food. Undoubtedly, Bangkok produces some of the best cuisines in the world that are affordable as well.

Pad Thai noodles, for example, can be found at street carts or restaurants around 40 baht, or $1 USD.

Another popular attraction are the floating markets. A floating market is where you purchase goods from a boat. Not only is it a fun and unique experience, but it’s one of the best ways to explore Bangkok. The most popular floating markets are Amphawa, Damneon, and Damnoen Saduak.

Because Bangkok is known for its market culture, among many other things, be sure to head down to the Chatuchak Weekend Market. Spread across more than 30 acres with over 8000 market stalls, Chatuchak Weekend Market is the largest market in Bangkok. Here is where you will find local handcrafts, arts, food, spices, and more.
