SEANET 2004 Bangkok Convention

Bangkok

Bangkok, capital of Thailand and one of Asia's most dynamic cities, is the heart and soul of the country. This frantic and steamy tropical city offers surprises at every turn. Gleaming skyscrapers, glittering temples, colourful street markets, sophisticated shopping malls, bustling nightlife, and a vibrancy which reflects the incredible economic growth of the last few years.

A booming, modern capital, Bangkok still manages to retain its unique Siamese heritage in the wonderful food, culture, exotic architecture, Buddhist tolerance and Thai hospitality. The new "Skytrain" a symbol of Bangkok's rapid development, provides not only a convenient way to get around the main areas, but also some great views over a capital in constant change.

No longer the "Venice of the East" nor the city of Angels, Bangkok is, without doubt, one of the most exciting cities in the world. A trip to Thailand would not be complete without at least one visit....

Food

Thailand is justifiably famous for its wonderful food, and Bangkok is the place to find Thai specialities from all over the country. Spicy salads from the North east, curries from central Thailand, seafood from the south. From sophisticated air-conditioned restaurants to roadside noodle stalls, you'll find food is everywhere! Yearn for food from your own country? No problem, you'll find it here. Swedish, Irish, Korean, Japanese, the list is endless. If you want to learn the secrets of Thai cooking, you can take cooking classes.

Floating markets

Cruise along the Chao Phraya river for a glimpse of a fascinating lifestyle. The network of "klongs" (canals) which once made Bangkok the “Venice of the East” are not as numerous as before, but the river still remains an important part of Bangkok. Tours leave daily along the canals. No trip to Bangkok would be complete without a visit to the famous floating markets, located on the edge of the city and a trip to see a noisy bout of Thai boxing, or 'Muay Thai,' considered the ultimate form of hand-to-hand fighting among all the martial arts.
