Northern Bangkok

Once ringed by rice fields, modern Bangkok has since expanded in every possible direction with few concessions to agriculture or charm. In Bangkok's northern areas, other than some of the city's best markets, sights are relatively few and far between, but the upside is that the area is a good place to get a taste of provincial Thailand if you don't have the time to go upcountry.
