Bangkok - the city

On the delta of the Chao Phraya River not far from the Gulf of Thailand lies the bustling and relatively young city of Bangkok. In 1782 when it was only a tiny village, Bangkok was named the capital of Thailand (then called Siam) by its monarch, Rama I, who constructed the city wall, the Grand Palace (initially the royal residence), and the first of many temples. Community life centered around the river and an extensive system of canals, or klongs, which provided excellent defense as well as vital transportation routes. During the latter half of the 19th century, under the rule of Rama V, construction of a reliable and much-needed network of roads and bridges allowed trade to flourish. Marble temples were erected, gardens and parks were added, and locks were built to control the water levels in this rapidly growing city.

Today Bangkok continues to grow at an extraordinary rate. Its population has tripled over the past 30 years. Yet Bangkok maintains a distinctive flair with its intriguing blend of old and new. Beautiful tiered roofs rise above the enclosing walls of more than 300 ornate Buddhist temples, called wats, which are important religious and cultural centers. Street vendors hawk traditional spicy Thai foods, and lively floating markets meander along some of the remaining canals.

Climate

Thailand has a moist tropical climate, influenced primarily by monsoon winds that vary in direction according to the season. From April to October the winds are mainly from the southwest and are moisture laden; during the rest of the year they blow from the northeast. While the country is under the influence of the southwest winds, temperatures are higher, ranging from 26 to 37 centi-degree. During the remainder of the year, the range is from 13 to 33 centi-degree. Temperatures are somewhat higher inland than they are along the coast, except at points of great elevation.Annual rainfall is about 1,525 millimeters (about 60 inches) in the north, west, and central regions, 2,540 millimeters (100 inches) or more on the Thai portion of the Malay Peninsula, and 1,270 millimeters (50 inches) or less on the Khorat Plateau. Most rain falls in summer (June through October).
