Bangkok or Krung Thep is one of the most cosmopolitan Asian cities. Krung Thep is meaning to "the city of angels". It is the harmonious blending of modern lifestyle and old culture. Strong Thai traditional arts, the pride of Bangkokian, are remaining in the capital's temples, architectures and antiques, while modern technologies are thriving fastly.
Bangkok was created as the capital of Thailand since 1782, by the first monarch of the present Chakri dynasty. Now it is the gateway to South East Asia and the center of Thailand's tradition, culture, politic, economy, education, and arts.
