Bangkok, Thailand is close to my heart because it is where I had my first business trip outside the country. I was assigned here for a month just a week after I joined my second company. I've been to country for more than 10 times since 2003. I spent a total of 8 months during my 3-year stay with the company. I even remember my former boss telling me to consider Bangkok as my second home.

It was not only me who considered Bangkok as my favorite destination. According to a forum,  Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Deputy Governor Prakit Piriyakiet said that a survey by MasterCard Worldwide, published on www.CNNGo.com which is a popular international leisure and travel website, found that Bangkok was international holiday-makers's third-most favorite destination in 2012. There are a lot of things you can do in the city. To name a few:

Green mango and Papaya salad
1. Food haven. If you are lover of spicy food, Thailand is the perfect place for you. Most foods are generally spicy, that even if you request for mild spice, you can still taste the kick of the spice. Tom Yum Goong (spicy shrimp soup in coconut milk) is the most popular spicy soup. Other popular dishes are Tom Ka Kai (Chicken soup in coconut oil), catfish salad, green mango & papaya salad, pineapple rice and a lot more. Check the website Bangkok.com for listing and reviews of restaurants in the city.  

2. Tourist attractions. There are countless tourist attractions in Bangkok, from palaces to temples and river attractions. Grand Palace and Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) are the 2 most famous among the tourist attractions. Check the website, Bangkok.com, for listing of good tourist attractions to visit in the city.

3. Shopping. Bangkok is a shopping paradise. There are street vendors, night markets, shopping centers and malls that sell anything a tourist would like to buy at cheap prices. Check the website, Bangkok.com for listing of top shopping destinations in Bangkok.
