The Capital City with the Longest Name

Known to locals simply as Krung Thep, the original name of this city is quite a mouthful. This is how it goes - Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.

Thankfully known simply as Bangkok today, it is the capital of Thailand as well as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. A mix of culture and modernity, Bangkok boasts of picturesque canals and shopping attractions unlike any other. Do not miss out on the Giant Dragon Tower, Scala Cinema, Wat Prakeaw, and the Floating Market while here.

Sukhumvit and Siam remain two of the most popular tourist hot spots for those who love to shop until they drop. Furthermore, consider living near night markets in areas like Patpong and Rot Fai to ensure you leave with your bags, hearts, and cameras full of warm memories.

For Indian tourists

Indian travelers can obtain a visa on arrival at the Suvarnabhumi Airport on payment of 1,000 Baht along with other necessary documentation.
