Bangkok

Why Go? Touring glorious wats, the temples where the faithful prostrate themselves before golden Buddhas and leave offerings for saffron-robed monks. Exploring the city's canals in a long-tailed boat and bargaining in the street markets and craft bazaars. Getting an hour-long full-body massage for less than $8. What to Skip Patpong, the seedy (and touristy) red-light district.
