Bangkok is one of the safest and affordable cities to visit or live , it is a city that has more visitors that any other city in the world and once you have been here it doesn’t take long to realize why. Bangkok is a city of contrasts with a feast of sights and sounds at every corner you turn.
Bangkok city is know as the "City of Angels" it never sleeps from morning to night the city remains vibrant there are a array of exotic things that can be done in this city to make up the lifestyle of a expat's experience in Bangkok city. It is not all about the gleaming temples although they are all a sight to see especially the Royal Grand Palace and the Temple of Dawn.
Taking a Tuk-Tuk through the bustling town of Chinatown was one of the things i did just to see how alive and hard working this part of Bangkok was and it was certainly crowded with noddle shops , street vendors and the busy Vespa motorbike riders zooming through the alleyways either dropping of there deliveries or picking up to deliver it was a sight to see.
As the morning chaotic traffic comes to a less chaotic morning and the hundreds of locals are in there officers working all the street vendors are preparing for the lunch rush as the workers pour out of there office buildings for there lunch break and you can smell the aromas of all these delicious foods making there way down the streets touching your taste buds giving you that hunger for food.
Lunch-Time 😊
There are many green areas within the city of Bangkok where a lot of the office workers will take to enjoy that hour lunch break of peacefulness sitting on a park bench as and it's perfect for the expats to take a walk in these many parks around Bangkok and enjoy the botanical gardens , wildlife and maybe take a paddle around the man made lakes.
The Chao Phrays River is another highlight of Bangkok city you can take tours along this river either on the tour boats or on a personal longtail boat you will see the most amazing temples and culture lifestyle living of the people along this river mixed with the old and the new and many extraordinary bridges to be seen also.
There is also lots of interesting graffiti in back streets and alleyways if you want to get of the beaten track it's always interesting as you will meet the real locals and maybe have a bit of a chitchat with them.
Apart from Bangkok's many extravagant shopping malls where you can treat yourself without overspending and all the ever popular markets like Chatuchak markets where you will find anything you can dream of we need to talk about Bangkok's food vendors.
As we know worldwide Bangkok city is referred to as one big kitchen and this i believe every street every corner you turn has street food vendors you will never starve in Bangkok city and the varieties are endless.
Locals in Bangkok are just so passionate about there foods whether it be a streetside noddle dish , barbecue chicken or seafood , spicy dishes or a spicy somtam they are all exciting dishes , tasty and at reasonable prices.
When you think the day is over Bangkok city comes more alive at nights with street foods vendors selling out front of big shopping malls set up with some live music and the night goes on with more extravagant eating goes on with a couple of cool beers.
And for most visitors here in Bangkok city of angels after a good feed the night would not be complete without a glimpse of its famous nightlife where the night will go off in a bang. Bangkok never ceases to amaze as the saying goes 😊
