Thailand - Bangkok etc 1

Photo Gallery of Bangkok etc in Thailand.

View of the Chao Phraya river

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and a bustling city mixed with various ancient temples, floating market and a lot of modern buildings.
In 1782, after the King Taksin of Thonburi passing away, the King Rama I moved the capital to Bangkok, and established the Chakri Dynasty.

Bangkok is called by the Thais " Krung Thep " (means " City of Angels ").
The ceremonial name is unbelievably long:
"Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuttaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udom .... " and still goes on.. :D

San phra phum 1
As may be expected of a religious country, you will see a praying place so often on the street.
This is called " San Phra Phum " in Thai and means " House of spirits".

Sellers of lottery tickets
(You will see sellers everywhere. I never won, though. :D )

Small hill on paths
(Putting main streets aside, paths from a main street have raised parts for cars to drive slowly.)

[Bangkok etc] Ferry boat
Very convenient boat on the river, Menam Chao Phraya, running through in Bangkok. It's called " Reua kaam faak " in Thai and it is to and from between the two side of Bangkok and Thonburi. It works for people as an important means of transportation. The fare is 2 Baht. (Sorry if it's not. :D )

[Bangkok etc] Massage shop
Talking about Thailand, Thai massage might come up. A lot of massage shops are on the street and you can have it in hotels as well. One of my favorite things in Thailand is Thai massage. :D
Massage shop (A lot of Thai massage shops like this on the street.)	Chairs for massage	Body massage place (If body massage, this kind of place is used.)	Massage points (The explanation of foot massage points on the wall.)

[Bangkok etc] Sky Train
Subway newly opened around summer in 2004 but " Sky Train " (BTS) is also still new; it opened 5th in December, on the birthday of the King of Thailand, in 1999. (BTS: Bangkok Transit System) When it opened, every time when Sky Train can be seen, my family told me like, " Hey, that's it, that's it !" :D Related Links: Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company Limited.

[Bangkok etc] Tuk-Tuk and Taxi
Talking about Thailand, you might think of " Tuk-tuk ", the cool, zippy and convenient vehicle in Thailand. If you go not so far, it costs around 30 to 50 Baht. Taxies are, well, taxies. :D (It starts from 35 Baht.)

Bangkok is famous for traffic jam. :D
I was thinking of taking a lot of pictures of traffic jam, but actually not so many were left. :)
