Hello Bangkok!!

Hello Readers,
Bangkok is my hometown in Thailand. Also, it is a capital of Thailand as well known. It is the cultural, educational, political and economic center of Thailand, as well as being the only metropolis. "Bangkok" originally was a small village on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. After the fall of Ayutthayain the late 18th century, King Taksin the Great turned that village into Siam's new capital and renamed it Thonburi. In 1782, King Rama I moved the capital to the eastern bank of the river at Rattanakosin; originally the site of a Chinese community, who were moved outside of the new city walls to Yaowarat. King Rama I named the city Krung Thep, as Thais now know it and which in English is translates as the "City of Angels". The amazing full name of Bangkok is not much tourists well known. It created by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke, and later edited by King Mongkut :     Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit”
In Bangkok, numerous beautiful temples can be found featuring traditional Thai architecture. The old sections of Bangkok are immensely popular tourist spots, particularly with the royal Grand Palace.  Bangkok is an interesting blend of traditional buildings and modern skyscrapers. Bangkok is considered to be one of the world's tourist hotspots. Most of tourist attractions are cultural & historical heritage such as the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, the Democracy Monument, the Giant Swing, Sanam Luang , and other venues.  Beside of history and culture, the most interesting geography in Bangkok that is about the network of canalsknown as khlongsgave Bangkok the nickname "Venice of the East". Bangkok runs the Khlong Saen Saeb, which has a canal boat service. You can sightsee the city in many choices such as by bus, boat, taxi, sky train, subway, motorbike taxi, and tuk tuk.
