Bangkok, Thailand

Cuisine drives this city, and as the sun bakes furiously, locals toil over woks and grills from morning 'til night, creating the most heavenly street food on earth. By night, markets spill out onto streets and this enthralling city's famous nightlife springs into action. Mega-malls, hotels and temples sprawl from the city's lifeline, the Chao Praya river; a spectacle within itself.
