Bangkok or also known as KrungThep to the locals, which means "City of
Angels".
Bangkok is now the country’s spiritual, cultural, diplomatic, commercial and
educational hub. It covers an area of more than 1,500 square kilometres, and it
is home to approximatlely ten million people or more than 10% of the country’s
population.
Bangkok is one of the largest and busiest cities on the planet and trying to
find your way around can be something of a challenge for even the most seasoned
traveller.
Bangkok's image has been transformed in the past few years, from the chaotic,
sleazy, cliches of sensational headlines - into a confident city of design and
sophistication - that still retains the kind of fun, vibrant streetlife seldom
seen in the developed world.
The capital's hard-edged modernity is gaining a cosmopolitan flair - evidence
that, now a destination in its own right, Bangkok has become a world city. |
