	Bangkok - MSN Encarta
		Bangkok is Thailand's administrative, economic, and cultural center, and a major commercial and transportation center of Southeast Asia.
		Both Bangkok and Thon Buri, an area on the west bank of the Chao Phraya, were just small villages in the 17th and 18th centuries, when they served as ports for ships sailing up the river to Ayutthaya, the former capital of Siam (then the name of Thailand).
		Bangkok began in 1782 as a settlement on the bank of the Chao Phraya, and this area soon became the center of the city’s government and religious institutions.

	Thai Architecture: Bangkok, Thailand
		Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a teeming city located at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River.

		Rama IV is Thailand's most famous King, depicted in the films "Anna and the King" and "The King and I." Both films are based on the conflated accounts of his English tutor, Anna Leonowens, who exaggerated her ties to the Siamese monarch.

	History of Bangkok (Thailand)
		Bangkok was instituted as the new capital in 1782 by king Chakri, also known by his dynastic name Rama I. After asking Chinese merchants to move to the Sampeng area, Rama I used the vacated land to build the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew).
		The housing situation is deplorable as there are over 8 million people in Bangkok and a direct result of the population and modernization explosion is a problem with severe traffic congestion.
		Some may feel that the loss of many cultural sections of Bangkok is a high price to pay in the name of modernization, especially since these areas with their markets and inhabitants have disappeared to make way for shopping centers.
