Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a city of contrasts. It is an exciting, crowded, modem city and at
the same time, a city that is full of history. The streets of Bangkok are usually noisy and crowded with people. Some are selling food, other selling clothing, cassette tapes, flowers, or souvenirs. Visitors love the river markets, the beautiful temples and architecture, and the nightlife. They also enjoy the food, the
shopping, and the friendly Thai people. Everyone seems to smile there.
Most of the year, Bangkok is hotter than any other capital cities in Asia, but from December to
February, the weather is cooler and much more comfortable. Actually, it is an interesting city to visit at
any time of the year. The shopping is excellent, and the price is cheaper than in many other large cities in
Southeast Asia.
There is always plenty to do in Bangkok any time of the day or night from watching Thai dancing or
boxing to taking a boat trip on the river or trying some of the delicious and spicy food. And if you get
tired of the city and the traffic, there are beautiful beaches only two hours away by bus.
