BANGKOK, IF YOU CAN LOOK BEYOND ITS INFAMOUS REPUTATION, IS ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING CITIES IN THE WORLD

LIVING LOCAL IN BANGKOK

IT’S 4:30 A.M., AND I LOOK OUT of my window to see a city that is already buzzing with life. The symbolic relevance of the sunrise seems to be irrelevant here. It’s the start of just another regular day in a bustling metropolis, but if you ask me, no two days in this city are the same.

Bangkok, if you can look beyond its infamous reputation, is one of the most fascinating cities in the world. It is a world of contrasts, where historic temples and towering skyscrapers stand side by side, watching over a captivating urban tapestry. Premium luxury cars navigate the same labyrinthine alleyways as pushcarts, and modern boutique stores share space with family businesses that have stood the test of time. But it’s only when you look past the curated tourist trail that you begin to see the substance of this city.
