 People say that Thailand is the Land of the Smiles, a country rich in culture and nature, which warmly welcomes visitors with a smile. They also say that the capital, Bangkok, was a city of canals and elephant paths.
It is not any more. Bangkok, a gateway to South East Asia has become a vast city, in which there are more than 300 temples, the legacy of a millennium-old architectural tradition. One of Bangkok’s attractions is the Great Palace, built in 1785 for the king of Thailand and his family.
It is a set of buildings upon which a mausoleum, a palace and library of spectacular beauty have been bestowed, bursting with colour and full of mural paintings, sculptures and ornaments. Within this set you will find the Wat Phra Kaew (the Temple of the Emerald Buddha), which houses the country’s most sacred figure.
A further one of Bangkok’s most famous temples is the Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha), which dates back to the 16th century. The centrepiece is a Reclining Buddha, made from brick and mortar and covered by a layer of gold. At 46 m in length it is an impressive sight.
A school of traditional Thai medicine is also to be seen in Wat Pho. Bangkok has the most spectacular Buddhist temples in southern Asia but also boasts the liveliest nightlife in the whole of the continent.
You can catch a ride in the most commonly used form of transport, the tuk-tuk-taxi, to the State Tower, the work of the famous Thai architect, Rangsan Torsuwan.
On the terrace of floor 64, visitors to Bangkok can enjoy the services of the restaurant, a chill-out zone and the Sirocco – a circular drinks bar which changes colour from blue to pink to mauve – and some stunning views too.
One of the other places of interest in Bangkok is the Patpong district, famous for its assortment of market stalls in the street. The backpacker’s market in Khao San, the Suan Lum Night Bazaar with hundreds of stalls and the Chatachuk Weekend Market, to name a few, are not to be missed if you’re visiting Bangkok. |
