Bangkok at night

Bangkok, Thailand’s capital, is a sprawling metropolis known for its ornate shrines and vibrant street life. The boat-filled Chao Phraya River feeds its network of canals, flowing past the Rattanakosin royal district, home to the opulent Grand Palace and its sacred Emerald Buddha temple. The city is also known for its vibrant street life and cultural landmarks, as well as its notorious red-light districts. The historic Grand Palace and Buddhist temples including Wat Arun and Wat Pho stand in contrast with other tourist attractions such as the nightlife scenes of Khaosan Road, Patpong, Nana Plaza, Ratchada and Soy Cowboy. Transsexuals in Asia are often called as ladyboys or kathoeys. In other parts of the world they are mostly called as trannies, shemales, t-girls or transvestites. Bangkok is probably a city with highest concentration of ladyboys in the world. Perhaps only Sao Paulo in Brazil can compete with that. If you are a ladyboy lover, then Bangkok is definitely a 'must go' city.
