Krung Thep Mahanakhon is a tropical region of Thailand. The capital of Krung
Thep Mahanakhon is Bangkok Bangkok or Krung Thep which means the City of Angels was constructed in 1782
or 221 years ago.Bangkok began as a city of canals and elephant
paths.Presently, Bangkok has approximately 10 million population and it is
considered one of the largest city in the world.In many ways this is the
most exciting and dynamic city in South-East Asia. It also serves as
headquarters for the Pacific Area Travel Association (PATA).
Bangkok is situated on a flat plain divided by the Chao Phraya River. Composed of about 50 districts
(Khets), it is home to one-tenth of the country's population. The population of Bangkok has grown nearly ten-fold
since World War II. Thon Buri, a former capital, is now a district under the administration of the Bangkok
Metropolis.
The very epitome of the modern, steamy Asian metropolis, Bangkok has a wealth of attractions. The city is
incredibly urbanized, but beneath its modern veneer lies an unmistakable khwaam
pen thai ('Thai-ness'). There are museums, temples and other historic sited for
those interested in traditional Thai culture ; an endless variety of good
restaurants, clubs, international cultural and social events ; movies in several
languages ; discos ; heavy metal pubs, folk cafes ; and even modern art
galleries for those people seeking contemporary Krung Thep. The saying of
William Warren (the dean of expat authors in Thailand) goes "The gift
Bangkok offers me is the assurance I will never be bored". Bangkok is a
national treasure house and Thailand' s spiritual, cultural, political,
commercial, educational and diplomatic centre. Bangkok is rather a city of
uncanny anchored by the grandest of palaces.
June to September still has plenty of sunshine and is much cooler (around
24-28 C) but is the season for rain and is actually quite refreshing! The
advantages are less visitors and better hotel rates. Its also to dodgers and
won't interfere with any sightseeing tours or general activities.
The soaring roofs and gleaming spires of the Grand Palace and the city’s many
historic temples – Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Temple of Dawn and other
shrines – present the visitor with a picture of medieval oriental wonder.
