Bangkok, Thailand

The capital of Thailand appears the capital of pandemonium, its streets filled with tuk-tuks, motorcycle taxis, cars and 12 million people. Rudy takes you to back streets and the quiet, residential klongs, or canals, of Bangkok. Marvel at the Emerald Buddha, visit the city’s markets and outdoor shrines, celebrate the king’s 80th birthday and take a wooden boat along the Chao Phraya river.
