Thailand
Bangkok, or Krungthep, means "City of Angels." Thailand's largest city and capital, Bangkok is in the heart of Southeast Asia, making it a natural gateway to Indochina, Myanmar, Malaysia and southern China. Bangkok is Thailand's political, administrative, economic, industrial and cultural center, and a major commercial and transportation center of Southeast Asia. It is also the seat of Thailand's revered royal family.
Greater metropolitan Bangkok extends for more than 32 kilometers (20 miles) in all directions and covers an area of 7,758 square kilometers (2,995 square miles). Bangkok lies in the Central Plain, one of the world's most fertile rice and fruit-growing areas, with colorful traditional culture and way of life as well as the sandy beaches of the East Coast.
Spoken and written Thai is largely incomprehensible to the casual visitor. However, English is widely understood in Bangkok, where it is almost the major commercial language. English and some European languages are spoken in most hotels, shops and restaurants in major tourist destinations, and Thai-English road and street signs are found nationwide.
Thais are well known for their friendliness and hospitality. A large majority of over 62 million citizens of Thailand are ethnic Thai, along with strong communities whose ethnic origins lie in China and elsewhere. About 7 million people reside in the capital city of Bangkok.
The time in Bangkok is seven hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.
