Bangkok, the modern Asian metropolis at its steamy and exciting best.
It has dominated Thailand's urban hierarchy as well as its political, commercial and cultural life since the late 18th century. Distinctly modern and Westernised, Bangkok is still a sleepy Thai village with a louder soundtrack of traffic and nightlife.
Bangkok proper seethes on the east side of the Mae Nam Chao Phraya (Chao Phraya River), drawing rural Thai folk into its cluttered fold daily. The city is reportedly sinking at a rate of 5cm (2in) every year, but there's too much s à n ù k (a Thai sense of fun) going on for that to get anyone down.Metropolitan Bangkok covers 1569sq km (612sq mi) of southern Thailand, sitting smack in the middle of the most fertile rice-producing delta in the world. A network of natural and artificial canals crisscross the city, feeding to and from Thailand's hydrological lifeline - the broad Mae Nam Chao Phraya - which snakes through the city providing transport for passengers and cargo. Bangkok is divided in two by the main north-south train line. Old Bangkok, where a large proportion of the city's temples and palaces and its Chinese and Indian districts are found, lies between the river and the railway. East of the railway, comprising the main business and residential districts, is 'new' Bangkok. Of course, outside of these general classifications, Bangkok spreads in all directions with a mixture of commercial, industrial and residential areas. And not forgetting it's night life and now a well known shopping paradise under the modern impressive building.
I have visited Bangkok early last year, my 1st impression for Bangkok is the congested traffic, especially you can find those tri-wheeled "Tuk Tuk" (Motor Taxi)is everywhere roaring within the sleepless city with it's modified exhaust pipe creating a lough speeding noise. Perhaps it is an "icon" of Bangkok that impress it's visitors..

I will share some photos taken in Bangkok during my visit in my next posting..
