I’ve been to Bangkok twice now and lots of other travellers ask me ‘Is Bangkok worth visiting?’ In a nutshell, absolutely! Bangkok has some of the most amazing temples and sites in Southeast Asia. It’s also an airport hub with connecting flights for onward travel to destinations such as Cambodia and Vietnam, so it makes a great short stay layover as well.

Introduction to Bangkok

Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand is a fantastic metropolis full of temples, nightlife, shopping centres and restaurants. Bangkok is a travellers hub, combining reasonably cheap food and accommodation with fast internet and a great infrastructure. But, Bangkok has a population of over 10 million people, and with that comes the stress, cramped public transport and packed roads. Digital nomads either love it or hate it! Sometimes Bangkok can be a bit….intense….and although it may not be the best reflection of everyday Thailand, it is definitely worth a visit!

Is Bangkok Worth Visiting?

The answer to the question ‘ is Bangkok worth visiting?’ is yes! It definitely is! I truly believe that everyone should visit Bangkok at least once in their life…
