Bangkok is a bright and unforgettable city, its territory takes about 560 km2 and its population is more than 9 million people. Despite its damp climate and inevitable chaos on the roads, Bangkok can be of great interest for tourists. This city is famous for its numerous channels (or 'klongs', as the natives call them), for floating markets and of course for the temples. Usually tourists are also very much attracted by Bang Lamphu and China Town.
