Bangkok, Thailand
This huge metropolis is home to more than eight million people. It's a magical place where graceful dancers perform in shimmering silk gowns, temples with gold-leaf spires harbor graceful Buddhas, and riverboats cruise a bewildering maze of canals. The only nation in Southeast Asia to escape colonial rule, Bangkok is the nation's commercial, cultural, and spiritual heart.
Grand Palace
