Bangkok, one of the most vibrant cities in South East Asia. A city that never sleeps and always
fascinates. Hospitable people, glittering temples, colourful markets, great shopping and exotic
nightlife. Bangkok is an intoxicating mixture of aromas, sights and visual
delights.
Bangkok's dazzling temples are a unique part of the capital's heart and soul.
The temples (or "Wats") are not just tourist attractions but also play an important part in Buddhist
traditions. Monks live in the temple complexes, get up around 4 am, attend to prayers and duties and then collect food and necessities from ordinary people on the
streets.
The Kingdom of Thailand lies in Southeast Asia, with Laos and Cambodia to its east, the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia to its south, and the Andaman Sea and Myanmar to its west.
Thailand exports over $105 billion worth of products annually. Major exports include rice, textiles and footwear, fishery products, rubber, jewelry, automobiles, computers and electrical appliances. Thailand is the world’s no.1 exporter of rice, exporting 6.5 million tons of milled rice annually.
