You step off the air-conditioned transfer into a corridor of heat and noise; tuk-tuks hum like urban insects and the Chao Phraya River glints, daring you to follow its current. Over four days the city unfolds from gilded temple courtyards to narrow canal-side lanes, each stretch offering a different rhythm: ceremonial formality at the Grand Palace, the slow boat-sway of Thonburi, and the quick barter of a floating market.
