Divided between tradition and modernity, the megalopolis of Bangkok seduces precisely by its double identity. On the western bank of the Chao Phraya, the district of Thonburi, crossed by a maze of khlong (canals), seems timeless with its floating markets and its houses on stilts. On the eastern shore, where the tourist sites are concentrated (along the river), and the buildings of the business center, life never seems to stop, just like the noise! So find serenity in the 400 or so temples that Bangkok conceals or in its museums, which contain the wonders of Siamese art. TO HAVE Bangkoks royal district It is in a bend of the Chao Phraya river that Rama I decided in 1782 to establish his capital, the royal district, leaving the site of Thonburi chosen by his predecessor. There he built the splendid Wat Phra Kaeo and the Grand Palace, both resplendent with color and beauty, which he protected with a long enclosure. Ratanakosin, or royal district, also shelters a museum of Coins and Decorations exhibiting beautiful royal adornments.
