Tourist Attractions

Bangkok attractions are numerous and diverse. The attractions range from Temples, Parks & Zoos to Historical Monuments & Buildings, to Shopping Malls, and so on...

The true character of a legendary Orient city is manifest in Bangkok's real name itself - Krung Thep, which means the City of Angels. To the Thais, Bangkok will always remain Krung Thep, the spiritual, symbolic, and physical heart of Thailand.

Amidst dynamic modern growth, Bangkok manages to preserve its cultural heritage to a marked degree. The soaring roofs and gleaming spires of the Grand Palace and the city's many Historic Temples present to the tourists a picture of medieval oriental wonder. Further, Bangkok's monuments and sights treasure Thailand's artistic and cultural endeavor that typify the land and the people.

The influence of the past and the enduring threads of the social fabric continue to pervade daily life. Files of saffron-robed monks making their early morning alms round, for example, present an image unaltered in essentials by the passing of time. Today's backdrop of high-rise buildings serve only to emphasize the exotic and timeless scene, while the city draws definition from it.
