Bangkok has (along with a handful of other Asian cities) been nicknamed the Venice of the East for decades, thanks to its web of rivers and canals. Although the etymology of Bangkok itself is unclear, the Thai word 'Bang' translate into English as 'village situated on a stream'. If you do one cultural thing in Bangkok, a river cruise is the way to go. The water is what gives the city its energy and by taking to the waters, you are experiencing life the way so many Thai people have done in the past.
