Description
European traders called it Bangkok, which translates from Thai as 'village where wild plums grow.' The Thais refer to their capital in short as Krung Thep, but the full name is indeed very long. Bangkok is also known as the City of Angels, a great city, the abode of the god Indra, where nine precious gemstones are enshrined, a city with many magnificent buildings and palaces. It mixes an attractive cocktail of temples and palaces, good food, and constant hustle and bustle for its visitors. Life here truly pulses continuously in the daylight, but also when darkness envelops the Thai metropolis. This metropolis is also called the 'Venice of the East' for its extensive network of waterways. You will instantly fall in love with this city, even if you may never fully understand it. The guide includes a separately inserted map.
