Under the golden roofs

At first glance, Bangkok is incomprehensible

Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok metropolis of eight million inhabitants. It is incomprehensible.

Stretched in all directions. This is a capital full of dust, smog. This city with a lot of traffic just for daredevils. However, Bangkok has a striking beauty and grace. 

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, located in southwestern Asia. International Airport "Suvarnabumi" is about 45 minutes by taxi from downtown. Train "Skaytreyn" is the quickest way to Travel the countryside. But he does not serve all areas so combine it with boats, taxis or motor tricycle "here and here." In January weather in Bangkok is warm and sunny with average temperatures around 28 degrees.

Every morning in Bangkok over the Chao Phraya River is rising mist. The mist reveals a spiral rising towers of "Grand Palace" and many other temples in the distance. Looking at the small details you will see what really is life here. You see working on the roadside craftsmen sculpting small figurines and sophisticated accessories. You will see how food is offered as a gift to a small statue of Buddha. You will see many cooks on the streets who prepare meals unheard. And of course all this happens against the background of aromatic rod. In 1872 Bangkok was built. It was designed as a palatial city that was supposed to replace the old capital Ayutthaya-. Passed a long time, the city has lost its image of "Asian" Venice. Because most channels are converted into streets. However, the river leaves its imprint on the city. And traveling by boat remains the fastest way to move. The "Tone Storms" can still get an idea about the past of the city. Stroll the market in Chatuchak weekend. Or visit the market very popular among tourists Daminonen Saduak. This is the floating market. Everyday in this country is governed by harmony and balance. Overall Thai massage is one of the most enjoyable experiences you can enjoy. For over 3,000 years art has evolved divine perfection. Hailing from India, massage is studied and practiced in India by Thai monks. They wanted to help physical and mental relaxation, clarity of mind and health.

Although the temples, markets and palaces of Bangkok offering emotion, enough to fill an entire week, however, should be limited within three days. On the fourth enjoy some tourist sites outside the city.
