Bangkok Accommodations
Bangkok is the financial, political and cultural capital of Thailand,
located in the centre-south of the country, in the heart of a fertile
rice-growing region. Bisected by the Chao Phraya River, which is overlooked
by all the major palaces, Buddhist temples and luxury hotels, Bangkok is
seventh heaven for those who love their food and their shopping. Its
legendarily bad congestion has been eased by the opening of the
BTS Skytrain
in 1999 and the metro (MRT)
2005, which has finally given the city centre a quick and exhaust-free
mode of transport. |
