Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, has a population of more than 6 million. As a result, the city and surrounds spread over a huge area, and the central city itself is very large. Fortunately for the tourist, the area most western tourists are likely to stay in, and the different areas you will wish to visit, are within a 10 x 10 km area, directly east of the Chao Phraya River.
