Review of travel to Thailand BANGKOK
Calling Code: +65

   Located at the delta of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok is Thailand's capital, financial center and chief port city. Metropolitan Bangkok covers an area of 604 square miles, but the heart of the city lies on the east bank of the river. A network of distinctive canals or klongs, both natural and constructed, lace the city to the river, providing the quickest and most interesting way to get around.

With its jumble of crammed streets running in every direction, its collage of colors, sounds and scents, and its proliferation of temples and markets, Bangkok is considered one of the most exciting cities in Asia.

The city is home to four universities, Thailand's national theater, and a fine arts academy. Among the more interesting aspects of Bangkok are its floating markets, in which goods are sold from boats in the canals. The Thonburi Floating Market attracts the most tourists, but those seeking a more authentic floating market experience visit the Damnoen Saduak, about 48 miles southwest of Bangkok.
