hotels. predent and future live harmonioudly
together. Fascinating, vibrant, colorful and
at times even mind boggling - that is Bangkok.
It is also called the city of Angels (Krung
Thep).
Bangkok, known to the Thais as "Krungthep",
which means the City of Angels, was established
in 1782 by King Rama I as capital of Siam. Over
the past two centuries, it has developed into
a great metropolis with a population of over
eight million. Like other modern cities in the
world, Bangkok boasts lots of massive buildings,
numerous luxurious hotels, shopping centres,
and a modern international airport. But Bangkok
has also retained its traditional charm. It
is a mixture of East and West, the ancient and
the modern. Its surface has taken on the look
of the present time, while underneath the old
ways are much alive in Thais' everyday life.
So, despite its modernization, Bangkok is still
best suited for a glimpse of the traditional
arts, architecture, religion, and other aspects
of the culture of the Thai people.
