  • BANGKOK 101 Emporium at Vertigo Moon Bar © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © MBK Sirocco Sky Bar Chao Phraya Express Chinatown Wat Phra Kaew Wat Pho (P171)
    © Lonely Planet Publications 101 BANGKOK BANGKOK Bangkok In recent years, Bangkok has broken away from its old image as a messy third-world capital to be voted by numerous metro-watchers as a top-tier global city. The sprawl and tropical humidity are still the city’s signature ambassadors, but so are gleaming shopping centres and an infectious energy of commerce and restrained mayhem. The veneer is an ultramodern backdrop of skyscraper canyons containing an untamed universe of diversions and excesses. The city is justly famous for debauchery, boasting at least four major red-light districts, as well as a club scene that has been revived post-coup. Meanwhile the urban populous is as cosmopolitan as any Western capital – guided by fashion, music and text messaging. But beside the 21st-century façade is a traditional village as devout and sacred as any remote corner of the country. This is the seat of Thai Buddhism and the monarchy, with the attendant splendid temples. Even the modern shopping centres adhere to the old folk ways with attached spirit shrines that receive daily devotions. Bangkok will cater to every indulgence, from all-night binges to shopping sprees, but it can also transport you into the old-fashioned world of Siam. Rise with daybreak to watch the monks on their alms route, hop aboard a long-tail boat into the canals that once fused the city, or forage for your meals from the numerous and lauded food stalls. HIGHLIGHTS Joining the adoring crowds at Thailand’s most famous temple, Wat Phra Kaew (p108) Escaping the tour

In Thailand ist es gar nicht so schwer, solche Traumorte zu finden. Unsere Artikel auf den Seiten 10 und 20 berichten davon.* Dass man die schönste Zeit des Jahres nicht nur für einen schönen Teint, sondern für einen ganzheitlich gesunden Körper nutzen kann, davon handeln unsere Artikel auf den Seiten 14 und 16. Denn die thailändische Küche ist nicht nur unglaublich schmackhaft, sondern auch sehr nahr- haft und gesund. Eine traditionelle Thaimassage oder ein Yoga-Retreat bringen darüber hinaus Leib und Seele wieder in Einklang. Ein magischer Ort ist Thailands Unterwasserwelt. Riesenmantas, Meeres- schildkröten und ausgedehnte Korallenriffe lassen sich im glasklaren Was- ser leicht beobachten – selbst, wenn man bisher keine Taucherfahrung hat. An den Küsten gibt es viele kundige Tauchschulen, die übrigens nicht nur auf fachliche Anleitung wert legen, sondern auch auf den verantwortungs- bewussten Umgang mit der fragilen Schönheit (Artikel auf S. 23). Auch und gerade Elefanten verdienen eine respektvolle Behandlung durch den Menschen. Daher stellen wir auf Seite 18 einen Ort vor, der mehrfach als Thailands tierfreundlichstes Elefantencamp ausgezeichnet wurde.
