ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK

Bangkok is a vibrant, thrilling city that offers very different vibes to rural Chiang Rai. Plan a few days here and base yourself at the Avani+ Riverside, a luxurious four-star with serious pool views and happening rooftop bar. It’s just minutes from the Chao Phraya River, and ferries stop regularly to whisk you to the city’s main sights. While here, book a guided long tail boat tour of Bangkok’s fascinating waterways, or klongs, and experience a secret side

to the pulsing city. River View rooms at Avani+ Riverside from around €130 B&B, avanihotels.com/riverside-bangkok.
