Bangkok, one of Southeast Asia's most thriving commercial centers. Many first-time visitors to Bangkok have little idea of what they will actually encounter. Bangkok metropolis, accommodating around eight million residents, is a sophisticated, fast-growing and, on occasions, traffic-clogged city.

Referred to today as the City of Angels (Krung Thep in Thai), Bangkok was once called the "Venice of the East" because of its many canals. Although many canals have been filled-in, taking away some of the city's old-world charm, it is still one of the most intriguing places worth visiting in Southeast Asia. Many visitors keep coming back to the city, some for business, some for vacations and some even to settle down here. Without doubt, modern-day Bangkok is a tourist mecca of the East offering a greater variety of things to see and do than any other city in Southeast Asia.
