Bangkok

Recognized by Travel + Leisure as the "Best City in the World" in 2008, Bangkok, known in Thai as "Krung Thep Maha Nakhon", or Krun Thep for short, has served as Thailand's capital city since 1768. Once a small trading post at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok is now the largest urban area in the country.
Bangkok was named the capital of Thailand following the burning of Ayutthaya, the former kingdom seat and capital of the Ayutthaya province. In 1782, the Rattahnakosin Kingdom formally began when the capital was moved across the river following an attack by the Burmese. The Rattanakosin capital is now more formally called "Phra Nakorn," which refers to the ancient boundaries within the city's center, while the name Bangkok incorporates the urban build-up since the 18th century. The modern city maintains its own public administration and governor, separate from any Rattanakosin authority.
Since its inception, Bangkok has been the political, economic and social center of not only Thailand but much of South East Asia and Indochina. The city maintains both global and regional influence as a pioneer in arts, politics, fashion, education and entertainment as well as business, finance, and cultural institutions.
Bangkok has approximately 8,160,522 registered residents (as ofJuly 2007), making it officially the world's 22nd largest city. But due to the large number of unregistered immigrants from Northeast Thailand and other parts of Asia, the population is estimated to be closer to 15 million people. As a result of these mass migrations, Thailand has evolved from a relatively homogenous population to a more vibrant mix of Western, Indian, and Chinese descendants. Bangkok itself is part of the heavily urbanized triangle of the central and eastern region of Thailand, which stretches from Nakhon Ratchasima along Bangkok to the industrialized eastern seaboard.
