Bangkok was founded
in 1782 by the first monarch of the present Chakri dynasty. It is now
the country's spiritual, cultural, diplomatic, commercial and
educational hub. It covers an area of more than 1,500 square kilometres,
and it is home to approximately ten million people or more than 10% of
the country's population.
Over the last few decades, Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, has changed
into a modern, exciting and sophisticated city. It offers to visitors
not only the cosmopolitan amenities they would expect from other big
cities, but also a unique treasure trove of cultural attractions.
