Bangkok is Thailand's capital in every sense In in where the Royal Family resides,it is the seat of government and administration,and it is the focal point for virtually all major industrial,commercial and financial activity.
it is the country's main port and home to one lenth of the kingdom's population.Bangkok is also the country's principal gateway and prime tourist attraction.Playing such an all important rile,Bangkok bears the full brunt of Thailand's present rapid economic growth.As such it can appear chaotic and confusing city. The skyline is dominated by highrise offices,buildings,condominiums,luxury hotels,department store and shopping mall,while the streets bustle with activity.
Yet here,too,are exotic temples and other wondrous monuments,and the true chatacter of what is a legendary Oriental city is manifest in the capital's proper name,Krung Thep.This translates as "City of Angels" and is the frist in whole string of ilustrious titles that properly define the place and,incidentally,earn a listing in the Guinness Book of Reccord as the world's longest place name.To the Thais Bangkok is always Krung Thep,the spiritual and symbolic,as well phjysical heart of nation
