Bangkok
-
Bangkok is the capital, largest urban area and primary city of Thailand. Known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, meaning “city of angels” for short, it was a small trading post at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River during the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It came to the forefront of Siam when it was given the status as the capital city in 1768 after the burning of Ayutthaya.
However, the current Rattanakosin Kingdom did not begin until 1782 when the capital was moved across the river by Rama I after the death of King Taksin. The Rattanakosin capital is now more formally called “Phra Nakhon”, pertaining to the ancient boundaries in the metropolis’ core and the name Bangkok now incorporates the urban build-up since the 18th century which has its own public administration and governor.

Artisans of Bangkok
Our guide told us it takes a year to create such a masterpiece. Thai people are fantastic artisans and hard workers. You don't have to buy such an expensive piece. I opted for a 15$ elephant made of Teak wood.

I can describe the photo, but, even better, take a trip there and you will not miss on the sounds of the busy market and the scents of the jasmin sambac or other tropical fragrant flowers surrounding you.
