Bangkok, the capital and largest city of Thailand, is located in the Chao Phraya River Delta and is an important economic, cultural and transportation hub in Southeast Asia. The city is known for its gilded temples, bustling night markets, rich cuisine and welcoming culture.
Bangkok is home to a number of iconic Buddhist temples such as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the Temple of King Jung and the Temple of the Jade Buddha, which showcase exquisite traditional Thai art. The symbol of Bangkok, the Grand Palace is a must-see historical site for tourists, blending Thai and European architectural styles.
As a cosmopolitan city, Bangkok's shopping malls (such as Siam Place), high-flying bars and creative parks contrast with the modern tradition of floating markets and railway markets. Water traffic on the Chao Phraya River and congested land traffic together form the unique pulse of the city.
Bangkok has been named one of the world's most popular cities to visit for many years, and the street food culture, represented by Tom Yum Goong soup and mango sticky rice, is particularly appealing to tourists. From the backpacker's paradise of Khao San Road to the high-end experience of Sukhumvit Road, the city caters to every type of traveler.
