By the end of October in Thailand finishes so called “rain season”, so now it’s just the right time to visit this country and to see all its sightseeing.  

Some cities have an incredible capacity to attract people to it. In the case of Bangkok, it would be hard to pinpoint a single factor that entices visitors into it. A host of features make it a magical city. Millions of tourists flock to Bangkok every year and the city is one of the most popular holiday destinations on the planet. 

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, and has been the capital city from 1767 onwards. Since the eighteenth century, Bangkok has been a dominant city in Thailand. It is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, one of the most important rivers in Southeast Asia. You can live here for several years but still find something new. 

The city underwent a transformation during the 1980s and 1990s when rapid modernisation gripped Bangkok resulting in an economic and cultural expansion. 

The Bangkok Jungle has several meanings, one of them being that the city was never built with a city plan or urban design in mind. The city is a sprawling landscape, a montage of residential and commercial buildings juxtaposing one another. It is home to 10 to 15 million people, depending on who is arriving from the rural country and abroad. The people as well, from poor to affluent, live side by side. 

The city itself is lopsided; if you look down any major road in Bangkok, you will see that both sides of the road aren’t balanced, building heights are different, and there is an overall lack of symmetry. This is what makes Bangkok unique and charming. And what makes it a jungle. 

Bangkok is Thailand’s major port and therefore, plays a significant role of being a strategically vital place. The Chao Phraya River connects Bangkok to the rest of the world through the Gulf of Thailand. 

The city is known for its colourful street life and breath-taking cultural landmarks. Life in Bangkok boils up round the clock. All the big shops and small stores are open 24 hours a day. The night is the best time in Bangkok. Thai’s massage become the symbols of unforgettable Bangkok’s nights. 

Its ancient palaces and Buddhist temples make it the centre of Thailand’s culture and history.  

The largest gold idol of Buddha is found in Bangkok. The five-metre-tall statue, weighing 5.5 tonnes, is in the temple of Golden Buddha, Wat Traimit. There is Wat Po with its huge reclining Buddha and Wat Banjamaborpitr - the White Marble Temple - one of Bangkok's most beautiful temples with impressive Thai architecture. 

Even if you're short on time you should visit with the Grand Palace - Bangkok's most famous landmark is a former residence of the Kings of Thailand. 

Now, when you saw it all you can continue your vacations on Phuket, Pattaya or any other resort. Many tourists after visiting Bangkok decide to see Laos or Cambodia that are not so far away. 

Bangkok keeps attracting more and more people every year with its charm and magic.
