Greater Bangkok

Most of Bangkok’s suburban areas are housing estates, but there
are also some unmissable sights, like Chatuchak Weekend Market.
The former capital Thonburi has the enigmatic Wat Arun
and the Royal Barge Museum. To the north of the Old City,
Dusit features the magnificent Dusit Park (see pp22–3).
East of the city lie Kamthieng House and the Rama IX
Royal Park, while a short boat ride north, Nonthaburi
and Koh Kret offer a taste of provincial Thailand.
