Briefly about the Capital City of Thailand
Bangkok is located in the heart (or in the very Central part) of Thailand and is a natural hub between Northern and Southern Thailand.
The question of how many people who actually lives here is slightly controversial and the official number of about 6,5 million inhabitants is probably far too less. Some people think that the real number is three times as many! Bangkok became the capital city of Thailand in 21 April, 1782.
These are hotels that we consider as affordable in relation to standard and service:
Budget Hotel: Best Western Swana High Standard Hotel: Majestic Grande First Class Hotel: The Oriental (one of the world's best hotels. Ideal for honeymoons and milestone birthdays etc.)

What do the Thai People Say?
Bangkok's real name is actually Krung Thep (กรุงเทพฯ in Thai), which means the City of Angels. This is an abbreviation and the original, long name is considered to be the longest town name in the world.
The Bangkok Weather
A combination of high humidity and temperature makes Bangkok a really hot city most of the year. A hotel with pool and air conditioned rooms are two solutions.
December to March is considered as the "cool" season in the capital. The thermometer usually shows 25-28 degrees Celsius, during the day.
The rainy season is unusually rather long in Bangkok. Statistically, it extends from May to October. But the showers are often short and refreshing in an otherwise hot metropolis!
