Bangkok

Every year many visitors travel to the city to appreciate Thailand’s special cultural traditions. There are over four hundred Buddhist temples in the city, so it is not unusual to see monks wearing saffron-colored robes when they are out gathering morning alms. This city is called the “Venice of the East” because the Chao Phraya river, which runs through the city, is connected by several canals. Tourists can travel around the city by cruising the river, taking the underground subway or the elevated sky-train.Bangkok is one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting and dynamic cities. The city offers tourists a wonderful mix of ancient and modern cultures. There are many scattered skyscrapers that are mixed in with traditional-styled wood houses.
