Bangkok
Not many cities in the world can match Bangkok for sheer vibrancy. Bangkok is a magnet for a broad range of visitors because of its eclectic attractions, and this buzzing metropolis offers surprises at every turn. Gleaming skyscrapers, glittering temples, colourful street markets, sophisticated shopping malls, a bustling nightlife scene, and an energy that reflects the city's incredible economic growth over the past few years.
Despite this growth, the capital of Thailand remains true to its cultural, historical and spiritual roots – as the city's many 'wats' or Buddhist temples are testament to. Bangkok is a melting pot of races, creeds and cults, as well as food and culture. Indeed, 'Khrungthep', as the Thais call their capital, makes for one heady brew.

Nightlife
Bangkok has a reputation for wild and rowdy nightlife. In fact, 'sanook' or 'fun' would be a better description. The city's nightlife is relaxed, safe and very enjoyable. You don't need to dress up, and you won't break the bank. The city's nightlife goes way beyond the over-worn naughty image from the Vietnam days. And it really does go on around the clock
For tourists, the main centers for evening entertainment are concentrated around Silom Road ( patpong, Thaniya, Silom .Soi 2 and 4 ), Sukhumvit (Soi Nana, Soi Cowboy, Soi 33) and most recently Khao San Road. First-class hotels are often good centers for nightclubs and discotheques, which are generally quite cheap and of very good standard. Pubs and bars can be found all over the city, many specializing in live music and usually offering food as well.

This very much depends on the speed you wish the funds to be transferred, whether the receipient has a Thai bank account, if it is a one off payment or if you need to send funds on a regular basis.
Log onto the Western Union site in the top right corner select your country from where the funds are being sent from, this will ensure that the amounts being debited will be in your local currency. Then select Thailand in the Price It column and the amount you wish to send. You will be given details of the charges and the estimated amount the receiver in Thailand will receive. If you wish to proceed click send now and you will need to enter the first name, last name and town of the receiver. You will then need to enter your personal information including an email address - always use a valid email address as this is where your confirmation receipt is sent to. Once these details have been entered you will be transferred to a screen to confirm a contact telephone number for yourself and confirmation of the amount the receiver will get. You can also select additional services of sending a message (upto 200 English characters) or the receiver can be notified by phone that the funds are available - both these services incur a surcharge.
