Bangkok is a modern metropolis where, along with luxury and huge houses, there is the poverty of peasant buildings and neighborhoods. There are large shopping centers or spontaneous markets, but the floating markets are typical for the city and attract tourists to themselves. Thailand is known to be one of the low-cost countries attracting tourists from all over the world.

Try to find at least some time to buy a foreign passport and still go to this country for an eventful holiday.
