There is a wealth of things to do and see in Bangkok if you can tolerate the traffic congestion, which can become almost grid locked during the rush hour. The city is very urbanised but still manages to retain its oriental flavour.
Street vendors abound, and the city has a much more vibrant feel than most western capitals.
The city is divided into two parts by the Chao Phya river, with Bangkok proper on the east side and Thonburi on the west. To the west of Hua Lampong are the tourist, business, and residential areas. Water transport, with a few exceptions, is a thing of the past. From the Airport Thai International have a limousine service which will take you anywhere in Bangkok, and a mini bus service to major hotels. The booking desk is located in the arrivals hall.
