Bangkok
"If you are in Bangkok, you will find that people there will never speak to you without joining their hands. It's not that they are speaking to you like that because you are tourists. They even speak at their home like that."

More Info
Bangkok seethes on the east side of the Chao Phraya River, drawing rural Thai folk into its cluttered fold daily. The city is reportedly sinking at a rate of 5cm every year, but there's too much fun going on for that to get anyone down. Bangkok has dominated Thailand's urban hierarchy as well as its political, commercial and cultural life since the late 18th century.
Bangkok's worth putting up with the coronary-inducing traffic jams, pollution, annual floods and sticky weather to experience the contrasts of the city: glass and steel buildings shaped like cartoon robots standing next to glittering temple spires; wreaths of jasmine flowers dangling from the rear-view mirrors of buses and taxis; shaven-headed, orange-robed monks walking barefoot along the street beneath a bank of giant Sony screens blasting MTV Asia. Bangkok, Thailand is one of Asias greatest gems. Here you can see the Temple of the Emerald Bhudda, a sight you will never find anywhere else! If you want to take a more wild excursion we can take you to a local snake farm to visit and even hold some of the worlds most dangerous snakes!
