Bangkok is the capital of Thailand
Bangkok is the largest and most developing city in Thailand. More than nine million people currently live on its territory. Bangkok is the cultural and economic center of the country. In addition, it is also an important tourist center of the country. The original name of Bangkok consists of twenty words and was listed in the Guinness Book of Records at the time. Translated from Thai, the name means “the place where olives grow”. The center of Bangkok is the Sukumvit and Silom districts. Office centers, embassies and representative offices are located mainly here. The Indian Quarter is an area that gives the capital an unusual appearance. The women here wear saris, and the men wear turbans. Chinatown is also famous. Hotels, markets, and brothels are concentrated here. But this is one of the least safe places in the city, so it’s better to refrain from night walks alone.The transport system is well developed. There are about three hundred routes in the city, which are used by more than eleven thousand buses. But there are enough traffic jams on the road. The city center is covered by a surface and underground metro system. A large railway network leads to the suburb. Water transport also occupies an important place. It is not for nothing that Bangkok is sometimes called the Venice of the East. The symbol of the city is the Large Royal Palace, which is located in the very center of Bangkok, as well as the temple of the Emerald Buddha nearby. The local aquarium is also very popular with tourists, which is considered the largest in Asia. Still, in most cases, tourists choose other resort towns that are not so crowded with people. However, if you visit one of the resorts in Thailand, a trip to Bangkok should become a mandatory item of your tour program. This is a city that must be seen.
