Bangkok

Bangkok is the capital and largest city of Thailand. With a population of over eleven million inhabitants, Bangkok is by far Thailand's main city. Its high-rise buildings, heavy traffic congestion, intense heat and naughty nightlife do not immediately give you a warm welcome — but don't let your first impression mislead you.
