'A Walk Through Thailand, Part 1: Bangkok & Central Thailand' Replay

Replays expires one week after the live airing of the series finale New York Adventure Club | AdventureClub.com

For centuries, Thailand has been shaped by a remarkable blend of Buddhist traditions, powerful kingdoms, regional cultures, and outside influences — all of which have left their mark on the country seen today. Yet beyond its familiar image as a land of ornate temples and tropical beauty lies a nation whose character changes dramatically from one region to the next. It's time to journey across one of Southeast Asi'a most captivating countries to uncover the fascinating history and enduring traditions behind the Land of Smiles.

Join New York Adventure Club for a three-part series exploring Thailand's fascinating history, cultural traditions, and regional character. In Part One: Bangkok & Central Thailand, we'll explore Thailand's dynamic capital and uncover how its royal heritage, Buddhist traditions, bustling markets, and celebrated cuisine have shaped the city seen today.

Led by expat and tour guide Kelsey Betzelberger, our unique experience featuring plenty of first-hand photo and video walkthroughs, intriguing anecdotes, and expert insights will include:

• An introduction to Bangkok and its many contrasting sides, from glittering temples and traditional neighborhoods to bustling streets, modern skyscrapers, and the Chao Phraya River
• A visit to Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, including its enormous central prang covered in colorful porcelain and seashells and the history and symbolism behind this iconic riverside temple
• A closer look at the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, from the complex's elaborate architecture and centuries of royal history to the revered Emerald Buddha housed within
• An exploration of Bangkok's bustling markets, from vendors selling food and goods along the waterways of its famous floating markets to the seemingly endless stalls of Chatuchak Weekend Market
• A virtual taste of Thai cuisine and Buddhist traditions, including beloved dishes like tom yum soup and mango sticky rice, along with a look at another of Bangkok's remarkable Buddha images and the spiritual traditions woven throughout everyday life

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Kelsey — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
