Bangkok is a city of surprises for new residents as well as the country’s cosmopolitan hub for commerce, politics, religion and culture. It is also a centre for expat life, with a vibrant, world-famous nightlife. Bangkok offers all of the modern facilities expected from a large international city with an enormous choice of quality restaurants, supermarkets, shopping and wide choice of accommodation. Bangkok is within 2-3 hours of many beautiful spots, including beaches and rainforests, where teachers will often escape at the weekend to sip cold beers while watching the sun go down or take part in activities such as trekking or scuba diving.
