See why Bangkok is one of Andrew Zimmern's favorite destinations.

Despite an early-morning pickup, everyone seemed bright-eyed and awake, filled with anticipation about the day of history and adventure ahead. The pickup van took us to another meeting place to board a coach, which would take us straight to Kanchanaburi, Thailand's third largest province, and famed for its World War II historical sites and breathtaking scenery.

Chiang Mai is essentially Thailand's second city - the smaller, more relaxed answer to the madness of Bangkok. It was once the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, but now is a major draw for backpackers and travelers of all kinds, not to mention retiring expats and humanitarians. Many who come here return again and again, or stay for years when they had meant to stay only a few weeks. There's an energy in the city that captivates those who visit, whether they seek a trekking adventure or a spiritual awakening as they travel from temple to temple.
