Bangkok

Paper Summary:

As the capital of the "Land of Smiles," Bangkok fascinates visitors from around the world by its dazzling architecture, culture and cuisine. Since the city experienced an economic boom in the 1980s, Bangkok has become a crowded city, with infamous traffic and pollution problems. Despite these problems, however, Bangkok remains one of the most attractive cities in the world. This paper begins with an introduction and geographic location of Bangkok. It then presents a general background to the history of the capital before exploring some of the city's major tourist attractions. Finally, the paper looks at local industry performance and problems which face the city such as pollution and traffic.

From the Paper:

"Bangkok is basically divided into two regions, the Old City and the newly developed areas east of the Old City, collectively referred to as the Greater Bangkok Metropolis. The Old City retains much of Bangkok's historical charm and architecture. Some of the less expensive places to stay are in the vicinity of the Old City, which houses most of Bangkok's major tourist attractions. The preservation of the Old City and its buildings makes Bangkok a model of harmonious contrasts: the major development can occur to the north and east of the Old City without encroaching on it."
