Bangkok, Thailand is a city of extremes with action on every corner. Marvel at the gleaming temples, catch a tuk tuk along the bustling Chinatown or take a longtail boat through floating markets. Food is another Bangkok highlight, from local dishes served at humble street stalls to haute cuisine at romantic rooftop restaurants. Luxury malls compete with a sea of boutiques and markets, where you can treat yourself without overspending. “The reason why people like to travel to Bangkok is possibly because of the cheap air ticket especially from budget airlines. And most importantly the food and shopping thrills is very cheap as compared to Singapore. Bangkok is like a shopping paradise and the thing I love about Bangkok the most is definitely the shopping and food there! Shopping at Bangkok is the only time where I can buy anything without looking at the price tag. The apparels there can cost as low as $4 too! furthermore the food over there is really a must-try!“ - Vivian, HLFM Year 2 17
