Whatever your thoughts on big cities, it’s a challenge not to be won over by Bangkok, Thailand’s boisterous capital. On the one hand, you have gleaming high-rises topped with cocktail bars and Michelin-starred restaurants. On the other, 16th-century Buddhist temples and floating markets stand for traditional Thai culture. The Skytrain glides above the sidewalk while tuk-tuks hurtle through the winding alleys of Chinatown.
