With over 21 million visitors in 2016, Bangkok was officially the most visited city in the world. With that factor alone, many might swear off this Southeast Asian location as too populous and overwhelming. To miss Bangkok would be a mistake. It's been said to be one of the best examples of the old and the new, and the incredible culture of Bangkok deserves to be experienced. You can spend your afternoon exploring the many temples and then party the night away at Khao San Road. You can taste the delights of street food for as little as 24 cents or splurge at a high-rise like Sky Bar. Rushing through the streets on a colorful tuk-tuk is an experience you can't find in many places but Bangkok.
