Tourist Guide Bangkok:

Bangkok, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, is the dynamic capital of Thailand. It is also the largest city in the country with about 7,000,000 inhabitants. This wealthy city, which is the 22nd most populated city in the world, receives about 15 million visitors annually.

Bangkok is characterised by a tropical climate which remains humid for a major part of the year. The city experiences alternate periods of dry and wet seasons. Dry seasons are warm with high humidity levels while it gets pleasant in the nights.

Historically, the city of Bangkok was a small trading centre which has now developed into an important economic and financial hub in Southeast Asia. Interestingly, the full name of the city is listed as the world’s longest name of a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

Bangkok is one of the most international cities in the world. It has everything you can imagine both good and bad. Bangkok has great food, good hotels, excellent and inexpensive transportation of every sort: Boat, tuk tuk, taxi, motorbike, truck,bus, subway and air train. You can see the Thai capitol buildings and many old, historic temples. A trip down the Chao Phraya river is a must. Bangkok has a thriving and talented design community for fashion, art, music, graphic art, architecture and food. Make sure you go to the neighborhood night markets like in On Nut. Live music, local fashion vendors and lots of great food. Bustling markets that are the heart of Thai neighborhoods.

Most traffic problems in this country. Travelling in Bangkok need much experiences either Bangkokians or foreigners. Traffic directions or traffic rules for each point can be changed at any time of day, e.g. rush hours to other times or from place to place. Get ready to face this big problems before you go out your door. Good luck !

Always check each hotel to its quality and what you want, sometime look at the .com sites then look at the hotel website, you might get a better deal.. You dont have to be central to have fun.. Its great to walk you see more than just the SKY Train, but its handy to get to those places a little further away.

An amazing city - full of so many things to please all kinds of people. Respect the Thai culture and there will not be any problems despite what is reported. Learn a few words - Hello, Thank You, Please - that will go a long way to endearing you to Thai people.

Be patient if service is slow. Be tolerance if the tutuk driver overcharged you or taxi driver refuse to drive you to certain places because of traffic jam. Be prepared to walk in the city smelling the dusty air. If you can eat local food, it will be more fun.

Use Sky Train, shop at JJ Market, bargain, insist on meters on taxis, don't argue with touts, just say thank you and go your way. If any problems ask a foreigner, not the police, for help. Don't go to 2nd floor go go bars or empty ones.

Things were quite expensive. Overall it was fun. Well, Phuket was better, but there are a few things for kids like me. For e.g. Siam park, Dream world, Madam tussaud's, Chatuchak market etc. The people there were very friendly and kind

Many areas smell bad, especially the fetid canals which are a scary sight. However, there are many shopping centers & Western restaurants if you don't like the local fare. Try to stay near the MRT & BTS metro system and you'll do fine.

Exotic and friendly city, traffic is bad, air pollution is bad. Transit system in the metro area and airport link are efficient and clean. Food is fantastic, things are cheap, hotels are priced reasonably and very good quality.

People seem very helpful, but language is a challenge. Area near embassies is attractive for walking but beware cars and motorbikes that use the sidewalks. You never know when they will appear.
