Bangkok, Thailand’s sprawling metropolis, is a city of contrasts where serene temples coexist with vibrant street markets and towering skyscrapers. Known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Bangkok is a hub of Southeast Asian culture, commerce, and tourism. The city’s rich tapestry is most evident along the Chao Phraya River, lined with historic landmarks like the opulent Grand Palace and the sacred Wat Phra Kaew, housing the revered Emerald Buddha.
