There are two Bangkoks, the ancient soul of Thailand with its long and fascinating history and the frantic modern metropolis that embraces the latest trends both Eastern and Western.
Bangkok is not only the biggest city in Thailand, but also the most mesmerizing, with some of the country's most beautiful temples and shrines.
Though some may contend that Bangkok's beauty has faded in the face of so much concrete, there certainly is no shortage of things to marvel at -- from the requisite temples to fierce Thai boxing matches to the labyrinthine streets of the older neighborhoods to the sudden shift of congested streets into a flower market.

 Bangkok Post Sacks The Chief Editor - Thailand Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
One of the main reasons Veera Prateepchaikul was removed on Friday as editor of the Bangkok Post was because of a report published late last year that "irritated" the Prime Minister by using the word "arrogance" to describe him, Post reporters say.
BANGKOK: The Bangkok Post’s labour union plans to seek reassurance from management that the removal of editor Veera Prateepchaikul was not a result of political pressure and would not affect editorial independence.
In a report yesterday, the Bangkok Post cited the Campaign for Popular Media Reform as saying Veera’s removal was politically influenced and that it was a double blow because he was president of the Thai Journalists Association.

 [No title]
In February 1973, five months after Marcos declared martial law in the Philippines, the Bangkok Post ran a series of papers that gave the international community a different account of what was happening in the Philippines.
The Bangkok Post had run stories about martial law in the Philippines, but these were bits and pieces from wire agencies, and the treatment depended on which agency the articles came from.
Finucane, the Post’s chief subeditor at the time, says the series did not create much stir in Thailand, the country being preoccupied then with stories closer to home, such as the Vietnam war and its own student uprising that led to the ouster of the military government in October that year.

 "The Rounds" March 5, 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In last Sunday's edition of The Nation, there was an article regarding the concern of foreign journalists based in Bangkok about the erosion or press freedom exemplified in the removal of the editor at The Bangkok Post and the resignation of the editor at Siamrath (a Thai-language newspaper) last month.
Interestingly, a front-page article in The Bangkok Post reported PM Thaksin's outrage at a U.S. State Department's criticism of what the U.S. government saw as a deterioration of human rights in 2003 in the Kingdom, especially during the anti-drug crusade early in the year.
The cynics among us might feel owners of The Bangkok Post might not be quite so willing to allow such a vocal critic speak in the pages of the newspaper were he not so prominent -- and as like as not those critics are right.
