Information About Bangkok

Bangkok


Bangkok is Thailand's oldest beach town resort. Situated on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand and only 200 kilometers from the capital, Bangkok, it offers the ultimate getaway destination for the city's elite. Bangkok became popular with the Royal Family following the construction of the southern railway in the 1920's, travel became more accessible and a demand for luxury resorts and hotels grew. The first of these was the Railway Hotel which is now the Sofitel Central, still one of Bangkok's most popular hotels.

Today Bangkok is undergoing rapid expansion as Bangkokians and Westerners look this way for a second home, be it a quaint house nestled in the hills or an upmarket condominum with ocean views. In the last year alone the town has seen countless housing developments spring up, new golf courses being constructed, a brand new shopping complex and movie theatre and a boom in local businesses. The charm of Bangkok is that it still retains its fishing village serenity which is now side by side with the bustling center of a modern luxury beach resort.
