11 million people inhabit this vibrant city, but when it was founded in 172 along the river bank it was known as the City of Angels. Built to the worship of the God Inra, the original city has long since vanished. But left behind are magnificent shrines and is a melting pot of all Oriental cultures as well as Western influences.

The large thoroughfares are abbreviated with a Th while the numbered streets or soi branch off of them. Transportation can be by limousine taxis - but beware. Aggressive tout drivers may try and charge you double the fare. Walk past them, ignore them, use the express buses or metered taxis. Most fun is the Bangkok SkyTrain known as the BTS (bee-tee-et)

Besides shopping, you can enjoy horse races , a traditional puppet theatre, or state-of-the-art cultural performances by the Siam Niramit.
Then get a massage like you have never had in a luxury spa or take a lazy cruise up river while preparing for the vivid nightlife scene. Enjoy Bangkok.
