Bangkok

Geminis, this Songkran 2022, vibe with your tribe in the buzzing metropolis of Bangkok. Whether you’re a Bangkokian or not, the city has a lot to offer and there’s a lot to explore. Why is Bangkok the place for you, you ask? Well, you prefer itineraries that are social rather than individual.

The two things that you need while traveling are the two things Bangkok does not lack: hotels and humans.
