ABOUT BANGKOK

Bangkok was built on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in the early 15th century. The river has undergone man-made alterations to facilitate transportation with the last shortcut canal achieved in 1722. The metropolis has developed on this configuration to what it is today around the waterways and low lying areas of the delta.

Bangkok, Thailand's capital and the Kingdom's largest city, is the commercial, administrative and education centre of the country and is a regional centre for business, finance and communications.

Bangkok is a blend of the traditional and the modern and offers a dynamic setting for visitors. Cultural attractions, activities, shopping and entertainment areas offer both business and leisure visitors plenty of things to see and do.
