About the Bangkok
Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and is home to an estimated 10 million people. In 1782 the city became the capital of Thailand after the fall of Ayutthaya. This is a tropical paradise filled with hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Here you will find the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which are both ornately decorated.
The Chao Phraya River splits Bangkok in two and is one of the best ways to get around the busy city. With all the main attractions within walking distance of the river jump on a boat and beat the traffic jams. Despite its growth Bangkok has managed to keep its identity and its cultural heritage is preserved in its temples, palaces and shrines.Bangkok Holiday Attractions
