See Bangkok in a different light as you explore this vibrant Thai capital by night. Gone are the surging crowds and frenetic market activities which dominate the daytime hours. Instead, discover a festival of illumination within the relative tranquility of the cool evening air. Traditional Chinese street lanterns mixed with multi-colored shop signs create a sublime ambiance as evening diners replaced motorized commuters on Chinatown’s main thoroughfares. Although less hurried, there is still plenty to see as you visit Bangkok's largest flower market, rising into full bloom during the night. Riding alongside the Chao Phraya River, see a scattering of vessels traversing the night waters as magical views of the Memorial Bridge, the Grand Palace, and Bangkok's ever expanding skyline fill the horizon. Quieter, cooler, and beautifully lit with a potpourri of colors, Bangkok by night is an experience not to be missed.
