The Square 101

Bangkok, known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon and colloquially as Krung Thep, is the capital and largest city of Thailand. The city occupies 1,568.7 square kilometres (605.7 sq mi) in the Chao Phraya River delta in central Thailand and has an estimated population of 9.1 million people as of 2024, 15.9% of the country's population. Over 17.4 million people live within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan Region as of the 2021 estimate, making Bangkok a megacity and an extreme primate city, dwarfing Thailand's other urban centres in both size and importance to the national economy.

As you wander through the streets of Bangkok, you'll be immersed in the bustling atmosphere of this lively city. From the towering skyscrapers to the colorful temples and street vendors selling delicious local cuisine, there's never a dull moment in Bangkok.

One must-visit attraction in Bangkok is the Grand Palace, a stunning complex of buildings that date back to the 18th century. You'll be amazed by the intricate details of the architecture and the beautiful gardens that surround the palace.
