Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and do the exercises.
Preparation
Whether you're travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you're likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it's also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio's character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it's noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live. It's not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok's traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi – if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams – but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.
Where to eat
The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles. Head for Chinatown – Yaowarat Street – and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.
What to do
After you've seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!
I like to travel a lot, but maybe I consider a trip in a way that is a little different from other people. First of all, I don’t like to book everything and then I want to go around with my bike. I’m also afraid of tourists and hate hot.
So, I would like to visit Bangkok (for culture, people, ...) but I think, for these reasons, that I will never go there
I Don‘t want ti visit Bangkok. I think it has too many people for me. And I don‘t Like bis cities.
But I really Like Asian food

I haven’t had a chance yet to visit Thailand but I want to attend a concert of BTS when they held it in Thailand. I don’t have money because i am still a student. I wish next time if BTS holds a c concert in Thailand again, I will have the finance to be closer to them🥹
I have been to Thailand once, the food in Thailand is very diverse, I really enjoy Mango Sticky rice there, but In my opinion, I still feel Vietnamese food is more delicious
The traffic in Thailand is very terrible, especially in Bangkok, the roads are narrow but transportation are very crowded
There are many Vietnamese people go travel to Thailand, so when you go to the store or restaurant, the seller can communicate with you by Vietnamese language
As far as I am concerned,I don't wanna visit Thailand.I have many reasons for saying like this.
This reading is amazing and i want to go to Bangkok
