Bangkok, Thailand

Welcome to our page about Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok is Thailand's largest city and capital, with a population of nearly 6.5 million people. 

Bangkok is located on the Chao Phraya River near to the Gulf of Thailand. In recent years Bangkok has become one of southeast Asia's major financial and economic centers. The city is well served by a major international airport and serves as a gateway to the rest of Thailand and onto the rest of the world. 

The city of Bangkok is extremely diverse, with many well industrialised areas, including the main financial and business districts. However it is obvious that many Thai's living in Bangkok still have little money and wooden homes are a common sight at the banks of the river.

A recommendation for the trip is a ride in a Tuc Tuc. They are small motorised vehicles, similar to a motorbike, but with a small passenger compartment at the back. Driven by locals, these vehicles give you a real feel for what Thailand is like. In complete contrast, a journey on the new monorail system is a fantastic experience and provides some fantastic views of Bangkok. Click here for pictures.
