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.
