Bangkok City
Over
the last few decades, Thailand's
capital city, Bangkok, has changed
into a modern, exciting and
sophisticated city. It offers to
visitors not only the cosmopolitan
amenities they would expect from
cities in the West, but also a
unique treasure house of cultural
attractions. Thailand, in the heart
of Southeast Asia, was never
colonized and thus kept intact its
unique culture and heritage. Its
bustling capital, Bangkok, offers
visitors the opportunity to
experience fascinating glimpses of
Thailand's gentle culture amidst the
bustle of a great and dynamic
metropolis. This great city has had
astounding success in combining the
ancient and modern world.
For the tourist, Bangkok has a feast
of attractions to offer. The city is
dotted with 400 glittering Buddhist
temples of great beauty and
fascination. The Chao Phraya or the
"Mother of Waters" winds
through the city and a trip along
its waters is a must for the
visitor. There is also still as well
a flourishing canal life offering a
glimpse of old Bangkok.
