Bangkok is the largest city and capital of Thailand. It is called Krung Thep in Thai. According to the 1990 census, its population is 8,538,610. Located at 13°45′North 100°31′East, the city is located on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River, next to the Gulf of Thailand. Bangkok is one of the fastest developing and most economically dynamic cities in Southeast Asia.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) named Bangkok the hottest big city in the world. Bangkok is also one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world.

The full official name of the city in Thai is KrungThep Mahanakhon Amorn Rattanakosin Mahintara yudthaya Mahadilok Phop Noparat Rajathanee Bureerom Udomrajaniwes Mahasathan Amorn Pimarn Awaltarn Satit Sakatattiya Vitsanukam Prasit. While Bangkok is used as the name of the city internationally, it is generally used in Thai as the short form of the name, Krung Thep (Angels). city) is used.

In official areas, for example on car license plates, he is identified as Krungthep Mahanakhon.

The definition of a city that does not sleep 24 hours a day would be very appropriate for Bangkok. Bangkok Metro, Angel City and This W magazines and Bangkok Post, published daily, will give you detailed information about entertainment alternatives in the city. Bars: An entertainment approach preferred by BKK young people recently. Royal City Avenue on the most preferred New Phetburi Road is a large entertainment complex.

There are many techno-bars inside. Another large entertainment complex is Premier on Rama 9 road. You can find many bars, pubs and discos inside.

Disco and Dance Clubs: Almost all 5-star hotels have such an entertainment venue. Phoebus Amphitheater Complex (Ratchadapiseh Road), which can provide entertainment to a very large audience, is the most “in” disco of recent times. There are many dance clubs in Royal City Avenue and Premier, which we mentioned above. Around Patpong 1 and 2, and in Soi 1 and 2, there are many small dance clubs, which are the meeting point for groups of different groups.

Let us also remind you that some of them are for gays.

Go-go bars: Bangkok’s famous go-go bars are gathered in Patpong 1 and 2 (Sukhumvit Road). These two streets, where it is very difficult to walk through the stalls selling souvenirs at night, are world famous. After an excellent feast at the seafood street restaurants in front of McDonald’s on Sukhumvit, I recommend you to dive into the street and especially the bars on the upper floors, which can be accessed by stairs. My favorite is Pussy Galore.

Enjoy.

SHOPPING

Chatuchak Market: If you are in BKK on Saturday and Sunday, be sure to spare 2-3 hours and go to Chatuchak (weekend) Market. This market, where everything is sold at very cheap prices, is only held on weekends.

Handicrafts: It is possible to find all kinds of Thai handicraft products in many small shops in the tourist areas of the city. Numerous shops and stalls set up at night are ideal for shopping, especially in areas where tourists are concentrated, such as Sukhumvit, Khao San Road, Patpong, Surawong, Rama 4 and Rama 1 Streets.
