But Captain Tai? Smiling. Welcome to an entirely new version of Bangkok. This chaotic city is known for its pulsing energy and bright lights — they’re just some of the reasons why I love it here.

The neighborhood also a (much smaller) hub for arts, housing the Bangkok Art & Culture Centre and the home of Jim Thompson, a former American architect with an impeccable flair for design.

Discover Bangkok through time, from riverside charm to modern life, where resilience flows like the Chao Phraya.
