Bangkok occupies a total area
of 1,568 square
kilometres. It
is situated on a flat alluvial plain divided by the Chao
Phraya River. Composed of about 50 districts
(Khets),
it is home to one-tenth of the country’s population. Thon
Buri,
a former capital,
is now a district under
the administration of the Bangkok Metropolis.
Bangkok was established as Thailand’s capital in 1782. Over the next two
centuries,
it developed in many ways reflecting the modern dynamism;
however, its ancient glories were
well maintained, especially in the old areas around the Grand Palace.
Today, Bangkok has become the principal Gateway and prime tourist
attraction for both domestic and international travelers.
