City Of Bangkok


Encapsulating Thailand’s quintessential blend of old and new is Bangkok, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. The nation’s capital since 1782, it is both a gateway and principal destination for most travellers. Amazingly, in the midst of this dynamic modern world, Bangkok miraculously manages to preserve its cultural heritage to a marked degree. In 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 evocative shrines - the visitor is presented with a picture of classical Oriental wonder. In addition, contained within Bangkok’s monuments and sights are treasures of the nation’s artistic and cultural endeavour that typify the land and the people.
