Travel Guide

Bangkok is Thailand’s vibrant capital and one of Asia’s most exciting city-break destinations, reached on an 11-to-12-hour flight from the UK. A fascinating blend of ancient temples, modern skyscrapers, bustling markets and world-famous street food, Bangkok offers an unforgettable introduction to Thailand. The city is home to iconic landmarks including the Grand Palace, Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), Wat Pho and the Chao Phraya River, while modern districts such as Sukhumvit and Siam feature luxury shopping, rooftop bars and lively nightlife. Visitors can explore floating markets, browse the vast Chatuchak Weekend Market, discover the flavours of Chinatown and enjoy boat cruises through the city's historic canals. Bangkok also serves as the gateway to Thailand’s beach destinations, including Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui and Pattaya. Combining culture, cuisine, shopping and entertainment, Bangkok is ideal for city breaks, multi-centre holidays, family holidays, luxury holidays and twin-centre Thailand holidays. Johnson Holidays offers ATOL-protected Bangkok holidays, Thailand package holidays and tailor-made Far East escapes from multiple UK airports.
