Bangkok is one of the most visited tourist cities in the world (second to Paris at one point) and is known for its cultural diversity, exciting culinary offerings, and vibrant nightlife to mention some.
From AFAR magazine: I walked with Sanon down a tiny alleyway greeted by a chorus of hammers on metal. Everyone on this street is involved in the eight phases of the ancient craft of metal monk-bowl making: One person frames the bowls, another welds them, a third hammers them into shape... “Before, every single house in this area was making monks’ bowls,” he said. “Everyone lived out in the street, worked out in the street. Now you don’t hear the same sounds. Things are changing here. ”Who knows if the bowl makers, the monk robe manufacturers, and the other artisans who make this neighborhood so appealing will still be around the next time I return to Bangkok.
We will visit temples and palaces so you may dress appropriately.
