Bangkok is the capital, largest urban area, and primary city of Thailand. Known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, meaning "city of angels", Bangkok is located in the center of Thailand, straddling the banks of the Chao Phraya River and close to the Gulf of Thailand. The greater Bangkok Metropolis (including Thonburi on the other side of the Chao Phraya River) has an area of 1,569 sq.km. Certain areas have become more popular than others, largely due to their good location and the things there to do and see … be it traditional attractions, shopping highlights or a notoriously famous nightlife scene. Navigating the city has become much easier in recent years, thanks to the Skytrain (BTS) and underground (MRT) system connecting many areas. There are three seasons: rainy (June to October), hot (March to May), and cool (November to February). Annual average temperature is about 29 degree Celsius with monthly averages ranging from 35 degree Celsius in April to 26 degree Celsius in December.
