On the banks of the Chao Praya River is Bangkok, a large and lively capital city filled with incredible palaces, temples, creative Thai cuisine, and night markets. Weave your way across the river and canals in ferries and long boats to experience all that Bangkok has to offer.
The boats dock right outside the Malé airport baggage claim to whisk tourists away to turquoise waters, white sand, and fabulous snorkeling. The Maldives are composed of a double chain of 26 atolls and thousands of islands, including coral, and is located southwest of India and Sri Lanka. Average elevation is barely 5 ft above sea level. It is the smallest country in Asia by land but spread across some 35K square miles of the sea.
