Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand and home to more than 6.5 million people. The metropolitan area is by far the largest of the country and has an estimated population of over 11 million. It’s one of Asia’s cosmopolitan cities and serves as the educational, cultural, economical and diplomatic center of Thailand. The city is sometimes called ‘The Venice of the East’ because of its canals, rivers and its numerous historical sights.
