Bangkok is Thailand’s City of Angels or Krung Thep in Thai. Over 22 percent of Thailand’s population is concentrated in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, making it one of the world’s extreme primate cities. Bangkok is a widely-visited Southeast Asian city, and was named “World's Best City” for four consecutive years by a prominent travel magazine.
