Looking at this metropolis today, it is hard to believe that just 230 years ago it was a small village serving the needs of Ayutthaya – the former capital of Thailand. No wonder Bangkok is considered one of the fastest-growing cities in the world! Today it is home to more than 8 million people.

By the way, the Thai are a very open and cheerful people. Few know how to enjoy life “here and now” better than they do. Perhaps their religion plays a part. In Bangkok alone, around 300 temples have been built. For European visitors, it can be surprising how naturally modern business centers coexist here with traditional pagodas wreathed in incense smoke.
