Bangkok, officially called Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, is the capital and largest city of Thailand. The city is located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, near the Gulf of Thailand.

Bangkok is one of the fastest growing cities, with a dynamic economy and progressive society in Southeast Asia. The city is developing into a regional center that can rival Singapore and Hong Kong, but still has infrastructure and social problems due to its rapid development. Bangkok has long been a gateway for foreign investors looking for new markets in Asia. This city is also listed as one of the cities in the world with the fastest rate of skyscraper construction. Rich in cultural sites makes Bangkok one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.

Bangkok Province borders six other provinces: Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Chachoengsao, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon and Nakhon Pathom.
