Bangkok at the end of December: temples, street food, the floating markets and the particular sensory overload of a city that doesn't stop.

Highlights

  • ·Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace: gold, scale, and color that doesn't feel real
  • ·Chatuchak Weekend Market: an entire city's worth of stalls in one neighborhood
  • ·Street food from a cart at midnight that was better than any restaurant
  • ·Bangkok's chaos has its own rhythm: tuk-tuks, temples, and towers all at once
