Bangkok Province

Bangkok province has been Thailand's capital since 1782 in the reign of Rama I. Formerly it's called "Krungthephramahanakorn" in Thai language.  In 1972 governed by field marshal Thanom Kittikajorn, it's appended to Thonburi province and renamed to "Krungthepmahanakorn" .

Bangkok is covering area more than 1500 square kilometres. There are 7 millions people appoximately living here. It has been central of economic because there are private office, state enterprise office, school, university and main building located here. Moreover, it's center of transportation because being location of International Airport (Suvannaphoom airport) , Seaports, Bus terminal and Railway station junction. Bangkok's transportation is very comfortable because there are bus, train, boat, sky train (BTS), underground train (MRT), Taxi and Tuk-Tuk (tri-motorcycle) for serving all time.

Most tourists like to stay in Bangkok for one night at least because Bangkok is near International airport and has many attractive places in variety such as Grand Palace, Temple, famous Department Store, Night Entertainment places and restaurants.

For recommendation, there are 5 areas for your entertainment trip as Siam Square, Sukhumvit, Silom, Phetchburi and Ratchada-Phraram 9 because there are night entertainment places, theaters, shopping malls, department stores and restaurants. Tourists can travel easily to each area by sky train (BTS) and underground train (MRT) or travel by bus and taxi.

If you like to shopping a delicated goods with good price, you have to go to Jatujak Weekend Market (opening saturday and sunday), but if like to shopping clothes, you have to go to Patunam market or Bo-Bae market. You may go to Yaowaratch to see chinese cultural as Thailand's China town.  

Local Transportation


  • Car: Drive a car in Bangkok comfortably but traffic is very jam during business hours. You may choose service car like taki, bus and tuk-tuk (tri-motorcycle) as alternative.

  • BTS: Sky train is good way to go anywhere faster. There are 2 routes as Taksin bridge - National Stadium called "Silom Line" and On-Nut - Kamphaengphet Road called "Phaholyothin Line when going to Kamphaengphet and "Sukhumvit Line" when going to On-Nut. Both lines are crossing at Siam station as Interchange Station.

  • MRT: Underground Train is a good choice when you need to go along Rama IV Road and Ratchadaphisek Road where BTS is not passing.

  • Boat: Most tourists like to travel because you can see views along both sides of river . Main piers are Sathorn pier, Tha-Chang pier (for going to Wat Phrakao and Bangkok-Noi Canal) and Nonthaburi pier.
