If you are going to Thailand, it is impossible not to visit the capital of the country of smiles - magnificent Bangkok. As a rule, in Bangkok, they rest for a long time, mostly 2-3 days, a maximum of a week, in order to visit the most interesting places, temples, museums, zoos. There is no sea in Bangkok, so there is nothing more than this period in the capital in general. This is an Asian megalopolis, a little resembling the other large cities of Southeast Asia, but having his unique atmosphere.
Bangkok is a city of contrasts, this can be seen by visiting the main attractions and familiarize yourself with the life of ordinary locals. If you take a walk on the River Chao Praia, you can see poverty and conditions in which most Thais lives. But the tourist areas of the city are striking skyscrapers, shopping centers, luxurious hotels.
Bangkok for each of its own. Someone he will seem dirty and repulsive, someone will love him, and with every one convenient case will return there for a few days to stroll along the noisy Kaosan Road, pick up the insanely delicious pad tie from the Makashnitsa, make a massage of the feet in just 200 baht, Go to your favorite park and admire the picturesque oasis located among the stone jungle.
There are no people indifferent to Bangkok, and foreigners love him with all the soul. Probably for the fact that from Bangkok can be very cheaply flying to any place of Southeast Asia.
