For a family vacation loaded with urban cultural discoveries Bangkok cannot be beat. Its positive energy embraces history seamlessly intertwining with the pace of everyday life. Often described as ‘Venice of the East’ because of its active network of busy klongs (canals) which remain vital to visitors and residents, it is a city like no other. From cruising on the Chao Phraya River and feeding penguins at Siam Ocean World to visiting the Grand Palace and seeing the Emerald Buddha, no two holidays need be the same.
