If you’re looking for a city that has charm and plenty of character, then look no further than Bangkok. It has come a long way since the 18th century, when it was just a small village on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Today it’s a vibrant metropolis that’s home to more than 8 million people, and is one of the most visited cities in the world.
Book a flight to Bangkok with Qatar Airways to discover Thailand’s spiritual, economic and cultural capital, a sensory-rich city where centuries-old Buddhist temples coexist alongside sprawling high-rises.
