			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bangkok is a metropolitan city and is also the capital city of Thailand. It is one of Southeast Asia&#8217;s most thriving commercial centers. More than anywhere else in the country, Bangkok tops the list in expressing the culture&#8217;s uncanny ability to blend the old with the new. Bangkok embraces modern development and presents an initial picture of thrusting office towers, world-class hotels offering deluxe comforts, towering shopping plazas, restaurants serving Thailand&#8217;s acclaimed spicy specialties and virtually every other national cuisine, and importantly the neon-lit entertainment spots.</p>
<p>Bangkok houses busy airports coupled with excellent hospitality. Bangkok International Airport has a domestic as well as an international terminal. Bangkok hotels range from cozy suites to moderate rooms that cost a few bahts, the country&#8217;s currency. Early bird reservations are possible at these hotels. A simple application online will suffice. Bangkok is known for having some of the best restaurants in the world. Almost every major cuisine in the world is available in specialty restaurants located throughout the city. Quality Thai and ethnic food is omnipresent in outlets and is also as diverse as street front restaurants and markets.</p>
<p>Bangkok is an excellent place to shop and is often called &#8220;the shopper&#8217;s stop.&#8221; The city is full of many shopping streets which are very unique on their own. The entire street usually sells only one kind of product ranging from fresh flowers, fabrics and clothes, gemstones, electrical goods, monk supplies, and guns. From the historical public ground to the sensational public park, Ratanakosin Island is one of Bangkok&#8217;s highest ratios of parkland per capita. Aerobic dances are the area&#8217;s major attraction. The city&#8217;s other cultural attractions are the Siam society, national museum, national library and the Thai cultural center. This cultural center is considered as an avenue for musical and visual entertainment.</p>
<p>Travel in Bangkok is made even more interesting by the tuk-tuks and the ferry services. Private cars and vans operate in the city almost round the clock.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bangkok, the capital of Thailand is really a magnificent city. Millions of tourist’s horde to this place every year to explore its splendid beauty. If Bangkok is your next vacation destination, then there are certain things you should learn and trust me they would surely help you in making your vacation a memorable one.</p>
<p>Since lot of hotels are often completely booked during the peak season from November to March, it is advisable that visitors go for advance reservations if they are contemplating to visit during this period. Accommodations cost lesser compared to Hong Kong and Singapore and inexpensive by Western standards, specifically because of the degradation of the Thai currency due to the Asian economic crisis of 1997.</p>
<p>The major hotel districts are based around Siam Square and Ploenchit Road; close to the Chao Phraya River, along Silom Road, Suriwong Road and Sukhumvit Road. There are other places such as Banglampoo for modest guesthouses accessed by backpackers, along the river where some modern high-rise hotels are expected to come up; and Chinatown, which is among the most energetic and typically Asian parts of Bangkok.</p>
<p>Around Siam Square, you will discover some very admirable places to live in. You can also find variety of shops, restaurants and nightspots. The less costly places are centered on Soi Kasemann 1 and near Jim Thompson&#8217;s House and Museum. These places, such as Bed and Breakfast, provide a guesthouse atmosphere coupled with hotel comfort.</p>
<p>The areas of Chao Phraya River, Silom Road and Suriwong Road enclose some of the older sections of Bangkok. The area around Silom Road and Suriwong Road is recognized as the financial district, and has numerous hotels and restaurants. You can find enough entertainment and shopping options in the Patpong Night Market. You can also find centrally placed top-class hotels suitable for both business and leisure. The luxury establishments, characterizes a distinctly Thai character and boasts an elegant design.</p>
<p>If you travel further towards the west, you will arrive at the riverbank, where some of the outstanding hotels in Bangkok are to be discovered. Hotels here deliver riverfront luxury biased toward tour groups. Most hotels here offer you world-class facilities along with exceptional views from its rooms. There is a handful of other hotels overlooking the Chao Praya River.</p>
<p>Sukhumvit Road is another area popular for shops and nightspots. The area also boasts of some extremely attractive bars. There is good enough presence of mid-range hotels and inns here. But the better four-star and five-star hotels cater more for business travelers than tourists. Even if they lack in character, they more than compensate for that in the facilities they provide.</p>
<p>There are some brand-new hotels oriented toward the business traveler and also possesses most modern fitness centers. There is no shortage for luxurious hotels either on Sukhumvit, while there are also old hotels having their own tradition to show for. People who love modern-sized, unpretentious topnotch accommodation are not disappointed either. Some of the hotels also have rooms affording you nice views of the Bangkok skyline.</p>
<p>No matter wherever you decide to stay in Bangkok, the hospitable people here in the &#8220;Land of Smiles&#8221; will provide you everything needed to relax and enjoy your time in this fantastic city.</p>
