Bangkok | World Best City in Photos 2014

Bangkok is one of the most vibrant cities in the world. It is regularly voted the number one "place to see" by several travel and tourist websites and agencies. Bangkok is a huge city of around 11 million people. It can be a little overwhelming for first timers but once you know it, you will love it. It is one of the most exciting cities in Asia. Well known for having a 24 hour traffic jam, things are improving with many new expressways and an overhead Skytrain system. Bangkok is called Krungthep by the Thais, which is short for the real name which can be translated into English as follows; "A great city of angels, the supreme repository of divine jewels, the great land unconquerable, the grand and prominent realm, the royal and delightful capital city full of nine noble gems, the highest royal dwelling and grand palace, the divine shelter and living place of the reincarnated spirits.” Usually shortened to simply "City of Angels".
