Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and one of the largest cities in the world. It has three world-renowned universities, more than 400 temples, exotic markets, excellent museums, a range of culinary options that will fulfil your every wish and a legendary nightlife. A trip on the Khlongs, the city's network of canals, is reminiscent of Venice. Many of the sights can be found at Chao Phraya or nearby the riverbanks, since this is the oldest and most historically important part of Bangkok. The city is also home to the unique Buddha statues, the Emerald Buddha and Treimitr. Other sights include: the great palace, the Vimanmek museum, the Dusit Zoo, the parliament building and Ancient City park, which is shaped like Thailand and has mini replicas of the most important buildings.
