Bangkok is the capital and largest city of Thailand and, with a population of over eleven million inhabitants, by far its main 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.
Bangkok has become a national treasure and functions as the spiritual, cultural, political, commercial, educational and diplomatic center of Thailand. From the moment you arrive, Bangkok is a revitalizing assault on the senses. The heat, the noise and the smells will leave you stunned if you're not used to the madness of mega cities in Asia. It is certainly not a destination that many people will forget in a hurry.
