Bangkok – City of Angels
Unique and Dynamic Metropolis
Founded in 1782 by the first monarch of the present Chakri dynasty, Bangkok is home to approximately ten million people and is now the country’s spiritual, cultural, diplomatic, commercial and educational hub. Bangkok offers visitors the opportunity to experience fascinating glimpses of Thailand’s unique culture, amidst the bustle of a great and dynamic metropolis. The city is dotted with 400 glittering Buddhist temple, magnificent palaces, classical dance extravaganzas and numerous shopping centers, all which are subjects of great beauty and fascination. Still, traditional ways of life abound, especially along the “Venice of the East” timeless canals and the Chao Phraya River, also known as the “River of Kings” which winds through the city.
