No, google is not his friend because he wants to ask a Thai forum for their advice. If you have nothing helpful to post simply keep scrolling. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Smokin Joe Posted Saturday at 02:12 AM Popular Post Share Posted Saturday at 02:12 AM Bangkok is most famous for holding the Guinness World Record for having the longest place name. It is commonly shortened to Krung Thep or Krung Thep Maha Nakhon but the full name is: "Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit" in Thai: กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลก ภพนพรัตน์ ราชธานีบุรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์ มหาสถาน อมรพิมาน อวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะ วิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok is famous for horrible traffic and sidewalks so crowded with vendors that walking on them is almost impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummin Posted Saturday at 08:24 AM Share Posted Saturday at 08:24 AM (edited) One night in Bangkok Bangkok, Oriental City But the city don't know what the city is getting The creme de la creme of the chess world In a show with everything but Yul Brenner Time flies, doesn't seem a minute Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boards in it All changed, don't you know that when you Play at this level there's no ordinary venue It's Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings Or, or this place One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free You'll find a god in every golden cloister And if you're lucky, then the god's a she I can feel an angel sliding up to me One town's very like another When your head's down over your pieces, brother (It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity To be looking at the board Not looking at the city) Whattaya mean? You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town (Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite) Get Thai'd, you're talking to a tourist Whose every move's among the purest I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble Not much between despair and ecstasy One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble Can't be too careful with your company I can feel the Devil walking next to me Siam's gonna be the witness To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness This grips me more than would a muddy old river Or reclining Buddha Thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it I don't see you guys raging The kind of mating I'm contemplating I'd let you watch, I would invite you But the queens we use would not excite you So, you better go back to your bars, your temples Your massage parlors One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free You'll find a god in every golden cloister A little flesh, a little history I can feel an angel sliding up to me One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble Not much between despair and ecstasy One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble Can't be too careful with your company I can feel the Devil walking next me.

Surasak Posted Saturday at 08:56 AM Share Posted Saturday at 08:56 AM Bangkok used to be known as the Venice of the East. Then some clown thought it a good idea to fill in the canals to make more roads due to the increase of cars. Now they wonder why Bangkok floods every rainy season. I can remember the first time I came to Thailand, over thirty years ago. The high water mark in the building of Sukhamvit road was at least 4 feet and the place stunk of effluent. I was not impressed. It has been 10 years since I was last in BKK and I wasn't very impressed then, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT555 Posted Saturday at 11:38 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:38 PM Bangkok for me in most part is affordable, great food, it's sort of a central hub where I can run into expat friends, coworkers and acquaintances. Worked here for a couple years also Singapore, Hong Kong, Myanmar and Shanghai. Lots of things to do if you know the city. I belong to a Bangkok photography club and venture to a lot of places 99% of expats don't know... Anyways.. My favorite city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed - shoddy construction with very little health & safety leading to death and injury. Also (IMO) air pollution and flooding! Being a "country bumpkin" I hate big cities and Bangkok is no exception - just a transport interchange for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lister Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Wow, lots of comments from ex/current mongers who only know the entertainment areas. and from people who've never visited for a long time or for very long. We were in Bangkok last month, I used to visit often in the late 1990's and early 2000's, today's Bangkok is nothing like it was, not even a little bit similar. Getting around Bangkok is a breeze these days and even lots of fun, buy a day ticket and cruise the MRT/BTS and see everywhere in comfort. Catch the passenger ferry on the Chao Phraya and see Bangkok from the river, brilliant on a hot day. Shopping and super malls such as at Emisphere, Paragon, Centralworld and Icon, compete with the best anywhere in the world that I've seen in the past couple of decades. Twenty twenty five years ago Bangkok was a bit of a culinary desert, for those seeking international cuisine, today it exists in spades. The other stuff, nana, patpong and cowboy.....nah, they've had their day, relics of bygone age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
