Description
The only major city in Thailand, Bangkok is the undisputed political, cultural, religious, admin-istrative, industrial, and commercial nerve cen-ter of the kingdom. Visitors arrive in Bangkok hoping to see everything in three or four days: in fact, there is enough in this city to keep you busy for several months, and a further month can easily be spent in the immediate vicinity of Bangkok. Those on group tours often decide to spend some extra time on their own in Bangkok at the end of a tour. Bangkok may be crazy-Bangkok may be chaotic-but Bangkok is life at its most intense. Some of Bangkok's most dazzling sights are not the standard ones-rather; they're fleeting visions. These visions last for a few seconds, or maybe a minute, but they stay with you a long time.Get into the spirit and have a great time in Bangkok!!!….more
The full official name of Bangkok is Krungthep Maha-khon Amorn Rattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya !hadilokpop Noparabatchatathani Burirom Udom-hanivetmahasathan Amompiman Avatamsathit kkathattiyaavisnukarmprasit, which comes out to 167 letters, and earns it longest place name in the rid in the Guinness Book of Records. The scholarly transliteration is even longer-175 letters--but for-tunately, this tongue-twister boils down to a short n, Knrngthep Mahanakhon. A rough translation he full name: Great City of Angels, Abode of the Emerald Buddha, The Invincible Realm, Grand Capital of the World Endowed with Nine Precious Gems, rightful City Abounding in Royal Palaces Which Resemble the Divine Living Places of the Reincarnated Gods, City of the God Indra ...As befitting the Heavenly City of the Gods and Kings, many of Bangkok's streets and features are red after kings or legendary figures, Rama I Road, Rama IV Road, and Rama IX Bridge are named after kings. Chulalongkorn University was named after King Rama V; Ramkamheng after a 13th century Sukothai king; Pra Arthit after the sun-god. "Bangkok" s a term that appeared in the 17th cen-tury and that has been picked up and perpetuated by foreigners. There is some contention over what Bangkok means: earlier spellings rendered it "Bancok" or "Bancodc." The most popular theory is that Bang-kok means the "village of the wild plum": ban means village, and kok or makok is the name of a species of wild plum tree (sometimes translated as bitter olive) that once grew in profusion along the banks here. Wat Arun, in fact, was once called Wat Makok. An-other theory is that Bangkok comes from a Malay term meaning "river bend": there were large num-bers of Malays resident in early Bangkok, and Bangkok lies right in a big bend of the Chao Phraya River.
Bangkok - the name explodes with images of the unessential steamy, Asian metropolis, no city in SouthEast Asia a can beat Bangkok for hard-core hedonism chaos, capitalistic enterprise and perpetual surprise. As the region stabilizes , Bangkok abuzz with cool bars, boutique stores, restaurants and nightclubs opening up every weeks alongside an over whelming proliferation of micro-economy ventures of stalls fruit stands and sot-drink vendors dotting every corner. Bangkok's contrasts and contradictions; glass-and-steel buildings shaped like cartoon robots stand next to glittering temple spires; wreaths of jasmine flowers dangle from the rear-view mirrors of buses and taxis; shaven-headed, orange-robed monks walk barefoot along the street beneath a bank of giant screen blasting MTV Asia.
