SubscribeBangkok is the essence of a Asian metropolis. Street vendors, tuk-tuks, and buzzing motorbikes exist alongside world-class malls, luxury retailers, and opulent sports cars. There are few types of food or activities that aren't available somewhere here, and thanks to Thailand's cost of living, most of it is inexpensive.
One of the delights of Bangkok (and really all of Thailand) is the fact that cooking is all but unnecessary. It's possible to eat street food or in very small restaurants for a few US dollars per meal. At that price, it's actually cheaper to have all of your meals prepared by someone else!
The city is also the seat of the monarchy and a nexus of international business, so at all hours, there's a real sense that things are happening in Bangkok. It's difficult to get bored with all of the temples, palaces, festivals, exhibitions, night markets, and infinite other activities present in this major world capital.
Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is a major international airport with direct flights to most of the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The airport is within Bangkok, and is about 25 kilometers east of downtown. It is easily and cheaply accessible via airport rail link, which connects directly to the city's clean and cheap SkyTrain system.
Bangkok is positively packed with well regarded private hospitals meeting or exceeding international standards. Popular ones include Bumrungrad International Hospital (subject of a televised visit by Morgan Spurlock of "Supersize Me" fame) and Bangkok International Hospital.
