Bangkok is a traditional country and is also the place people think of when they want fashionable clothes or great shopping destinations.
Culture
The culture in Bangkok displays its prominence in Thailand, be it religious or traditional values. Buddhism is the main religion and has been so for centuries now. Ancient, ruins, temples, statues and architecture can be found all around the country and most of the major religious spots call Bangkok their home.
Festivals
Apart from the attractions and religious places that bring in tourists and worshippers alike, Bangkok is also famous for its fun and colourful festivals that happen throughout the year. Hotel rates are at their highest during the festivals and renting out a serviced apartment in Thonglor is a good idea if you are travelling in a group. You have a lot of variety to choose from, be it Adelphi Forty- Nine or something similar. The Songkran festival happens in April, followed by Loi Krathong, which takes place in November. The Golden Mount Fair also happens at the end of November, and apart from these annual festivals, the birthdays of the members of the royal families are also celebrated nationwide, making for more fun events to attend.
