Bangkok, Thailand center

Bangkok – Thailands gigantic metropolis

A majority of the tourists who visit Thailand year per year can be found at the beaches of the seaside resorts. However who travels to Thailand should miss the capital city of Bangkok in no case.  Some may think firstly about overcrowded streets with noise, superincumbent temperatures and masses of people without any limitation. However Bangkok is much more. Bangkok also means magnificent temples, romantic water streets and friendly people.

One can assure himself even at the beginning in the comfortable, typically Thai hotels in Bangkok where one is welcomed with an unbelievable cordiality and warmth.
Anyone who likes it smaller will also find many comfy boarding houses in Bangkok, which can be a good origin for finding the way in this fascinating metropolis alike.

Exceptional centre of attraction of the city is the Grand Palace, the former residence of the King of Thailand. Who wants to visit the largest lying Buddha of the world can do this in the temple Wat Po which is by the way also largely famous for his school of massage.

The best way to dip into the lively colourful life of Bangkok is at Chinatown. A district full of narrow streets, widely varying smells and a mass of people.  The best way is just to drift - but you should experience Chinatown in any case.

Bangkok is an immense metropolis which forms besides the cultural also the economic centre of Thailand. So you meet besides the usual tourists on a shopping tour also many businessmen from Europa who partly even own own apartments in Bangkok and commute between two different worlds.

But whatever the reason for travelling to Bangkok is it is worth anyway.
