The university city of Bangkok

Bangkok is the capital of the Kingdom of Thailand, the political, cultural and economic center of the country, the most important transport hub and has around 6.5 million inhabitants.

The city is located at the junction of the Indochinese and Malay peninsulas on the Chao Phraya River north of the Gulf of Thailand. Because of the tropical climate, it has an average annual temperature of 28.4 °C.

The city has over 400 wats, which are Buddhist temples and monasteries. The most important of them is Wat Phra Kaeo, which includes the “Emerald Buddha” and is highly revered throughout the country. Wat Phra Kaeo, the Grand Palace (Phra Borom Maharatchawong), Wat Mahathat and Wat Pho, the oldest and largest temple with the famous 46 meter long reclining Buddha statue, form the historic center of Bangkok on Rattanakosin Island. Another sanctuary is the Shrine of the City Pillar (Lak Mueang), which is located at the southeast corner of Sanam Luang Field and houses the foundation stone of the city laid by King Rama I.

Also worth seeing are the preserved canals (khlongs), including the River of the Kings (Chao Phraya), which ran through large parts of the city until the middle of the 20th century. Many of these old traffic routes were filled up for road construction. You can also see the National Museum, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia, or relax in Lumpini Park, the largest in the city center. Those who want to see the Thai national sport Muay Thai (Thai boxing) can do so in two large and many smaller stadiums. For shopping, it is best to go to one of the large shopping malls, which are mainly concentrated on lower Sukhumvit Road, Silom Road and Siam Square.

Countless food stalls and street stalls on every corner provide particularly cheap food.
