Discover Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand’s vibrant capital, blends centuries-old heritage with modern energy. Founded as Siam’s capital in 1782, the city grew rapidly along the Chao Phraya River and became known for its ornate temples, royal palaces, and dynamic street life. Today, Bangkok is a global destination celebrated for its deep cultural traditions, colorful markets, and warm hospitality. From sacred shrines to bustling riverfronts, it offers an unforgettable setting for the 2026 World Congress on Pain.
Plan Your TripGetting to Bangkok
Bangkok is served by two international airports: Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), the main hub for long-haul and full-service international flights, and Don Mueang Airport (DMK), which handles most low-cost and regional carriers. Both airports offer fast and convenient access to the city center via taxi, train, or shuttle. Many travelers are eligible for visa-free entry to Thailand for up to 60 days. Be sure to confirm requirements in advance of your visit.
