Bangkok:
The Thai capital seethes with a population of 8 million
and cataclysmic traffic jams. But amid the noise and rush
the temples (Wats) provide a haven of peace, at Wat Po
(above) traditional Thai massages are available. Wonderful
food from street vendors, who set up instant restaurants
on the pavement, and hawkers with pineapples, mangos and
papayas on ice. Remember to bargain when shopping, it's
expected everywhere not just at market stalls.
