Capitala Thailandei are peste 11 milioane de locuitori şi este unul dintre cele mai dinamice oraşe din Asia

Thailandezii îşi numesc capitala Krung Thep („Oraşul Îngerilor”) dar acestea sunt doar primele două cuvinte din şirul de 27 care descriu caracterul minunat al oraşului în denumirea oficială

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and, with a population of over eleven million inhabitants, by far its largest city. Its high-rise buildings, heavy traffic congestion, intense heat and naughty nightlife do not immediately give you a warm welcome — but don't let your first impression mislead you. It is one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities with magnificent temples and palaces, authentic canals, busy markets and a vibrant nightlife that has something for everyone.

Zgârie-norii sunt foarte puţini din cauza solului instabil şi umed

Pentru a satisface nevoile crescânde de teren pentru oraşul aflat în expansiune au fost forate foarte multe puţuri; aceasta a dus la slăbirea substratului calcaros iar oraşul se scufundă anual cu câţiva centimetri

Bangkok's rapid growth amidst little urban planning and regulation has resulted in a haphazard cityscape and inadequate infrastructure systems. Limited roads, despite an extensive expressway network, together with substantial private car usage, have resulted in chronic and crippling traffic congestion. This in turn caused severe air pollution in the 1990s. The city has since turned to public transport in an attempt to solve this major problem. Four rapid transit lines are now in operation, with more systems under construction or planned by the national government and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.

Monumentul Democraţiei, format din aripi de 24 metri înălţime a fost construit în 1939 pentru comemorarea trecerii de la monarhia absolută la monarhia constituţională

The Democracy Monument is a public monument in the centre of Bangkok. The monument was commissioned in 1939 to commemorate the 1932 Siamese coup d'état (also called "Siamese Revolution of 1932" or just 1932 Revolution) which led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in what was then the Kingdom of Siam
