Bangkok, the vibrant capital of Thailand, has a rich history dating back to the 15th century when it was a small trading post. Once Bang Makok, meaning "place of olive plums," Bangkok evolved into today's bustling city. Devastated by the Burmese in 1767, King Rama I reconstructed and designated it as the capital in 1782. The city seamlessly blends tradition and modernity with its ornate temples, bustling markets, and towering skyscrapers. From the Grand Palace and Wat Pho to its lively street food scene and vibrant nightlife, Bangkok captivates visitors with its diverse cultural tapestry and dynamic energy.
