Travel Destinations - Bangkok Province
Bangkok is one of Asia’s most cosmopolitan
cities. Created as the Thai capital in 1782 by the first monarch
of the present Chakri dynasty, Bangkok is a national treasure
house and Thailand’s spiritual, cultural, political, commercial,
educational and diplomatic centre.
Bangkok exceeds 1,500 square kilometres in area and is home
to one-tenth of the country's population. Major tourist attractions
include glittering Buddhist temples, palaces, timeless “Venice
of the East” canal and river scenes, classical dance extravaganzas,
and numerous shopping centres.
