Bangkok, Thailand's capital city and major gateway, casts an
irresistible spell of enchantment. To the Thais it is Krung Thep, "City of
Angels", and you'll find it is truly a magic place, one that captivates the
imagination.More than anywhere else in the country, Bangkok expresses Thailand's uncanny
ability to blend the old with the new. This lends a thrilling sense of discovery to one's
sightseeing and adds an element of surprise when exploring what is the Orient's most
fabled city.
Joyfully exuberant, Bangkok embraces modern development and presents an initial picture of
thrusting office towers; of worldclass hotels offering deluxe comforts; of glittering
shopping plazas packed with treasures of the East such as silks and gemstones; of
restaurants serving Thailand's acclaimed spicy specialities and virtually every other
national cuisine worthy of the name; of neon-lit entertainment spots where the fare ranges
from classical dance to laser disco.
Incredibly amidst this sybaritic world Bangkok manages to preserve its cultural heritage to an amazing degree. In the rich splendour of the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Temple of the Dawn and other historic shrines, you see images of medieval Oriental wonder, the very stuff of Eastern fairytales.
The influence of the past is not limited to major monuments and it continues to colour daily life. Files of saffron-robed monks making their early morning alms round, for example, present a scene unaltered in essentials by the passing of time. Todays's backdrop of highrise buildings only adds wonder to this and other enduring sights from which the city continues to draw definition.
Thailand's "City of Angels" is. indeed, a magic place where possibilities are limited only by the imagination. You'll marvel at past glories, delight in present opportunities and love every minute of it.
