My personal experience 

I had a trip to Bangkok that I will never forget to be in culture, history, and good food. The trip started with the awe of the Grand Palace - the designs and architecture of the buildings, and the sacred Emerald Buddha. We toured Bangkok and went to the busy streets of Chinatown, eating authentic street food from Pad Thai to mango sticky rice. Riding through the Chao Phraya River and observing what was left of Bangkok was lovely. I observed ancient temples, such as Wat Arun, juxtaposed against skyscrapers. Chatuchak Market was so alive! It was a shopping experience with the locals, with one souvenir shop compressively detail-oriented and no end to souvenir shopping! Gatherings took place on the rooftop bar, and saw a city with stunning views from gives tourists take evening photos, sketches or stargaze. Everyone was warm and hospitable - it was incredible! The Thai massage was my body in a dream - I need one a week! The night markets were thrilling, people watching is a gift, love the energy and bubbling exploration we each experience weekly with excitement in our mind and heart. Ultimately my spirit was so full, I can say I was discomforted of leaving.
