With a population upwards of eight million people and at 1,569 km², Bangkok is a sprawling metropolis with a heartbeat and millions of stories, relationships and struggles flowing through its veins. Life in Bangkok means different things for different people, and nobody who visits or lives here will experience it the same two ways. Here’s a collection of images that show a glimpse of everyday life in Bangkok.

Life isn’t always easier in the big city
Ordinary lives are lived in the backstreets
A melting pot of culture, Bangkok’s Chinatown is always lively

Taking a break
Heading to work
Traffic is unavoidable…
…and not just on the roads
All Thai men are called to serve their faith
Life moves pretty fast here
…thought not for everyone
It’s a bit of a concrete jungle…
…though green spaces aren’t too hard to come by
Young or old, Thai or tourist – Bangkok is for everyone

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
