Bangkok, the City of Angels in the Land of Smiles, a country with ancient culture, historic temples, palaces, breathtaking sites, stunning scenery and charming hospitality. Bangkok became the capital in 1782 with the founding of the Chakri Dynasty that still occupies the Thai throne. Its early rulers sought to recreate the glories of Ayutthaya and many of the city's landmarks date from this period, among them the magnificent Grand Palace and its adjacent Wat Phra Kaeo, Wat Arun, and Wat Pho. At the beginning of Rattanakosin period, when the capital was moved to Bangkok, rivers and canals or Khlong were the traditional form of transport. No roads were built until the 1860s, and it was the network of river and canals that led early European visitors to describe the city as the Venice of the East.

Over the last decade, Bangkok is fascinating with a variety of Thai trends that have made and make this nation a unique jewel of Southeast Asia. The city quickly surpassed its original walled center and is today a huge metropolis of skyscrapers, enormous shopping malls, and world-class luxury hotels. 
In addition, boutique hotels are emerging as a new trend in tourism. Also known as designer hotels or lifestyle hotels, these intimate and often luxurious variants differ from chain or branded versions, offering personalized accommodation, services and facilities. Varanasi Hotels
