Location
The capital city of Thailand, is not known by
the name Bangkok to Thai people, the actual name
in Thai is Krungthepmahanakorn Amornrattanakosin
Mahintrayu thethaya Mahadilokpob Noparat Rajataniburirom
Udomrajanivej Mahasatharn Amornpimarn Awatarnsatis
Sakatadtiya Wisanukamprasit, which is interestingly
enough registered in the Guiness Book of Records
as the city with the longest name! But fortunately
for us it is abbreviated for daily use to Krungthep,
or Krungthep Mahanakorn, meaning City of Angels.
As for the word Bangkok, this was derived from
Bang Kork, and refers to the original site which
is only a very small part of what is today called
Bangkok by westerners. Climate
Bangkok is situated at 14 degrees Northern latitude
in an immediate proximity to the Gulf of Thailand
and 900 miles to the north from the equator. Bangkok
has been regognised by the World Meteorological
Organisation as the world's hottest city by averaging
the daytime highs and the nighttime lows.
There are 3 seasons: hot, rainy and cool (or dry).
Average temperatures by the season are as follows
(the lower digits are the temperature in the nightime):
Hot season (March - mid-June)
27 - 35 cegrees Celsius (80 - 95 degrees Fahrenheit)
Rainy season (June - October)
24 - 32 cegrees Celsius (75 - 90 degrees Fahrenheit)
Cool (dry) season (November - February)
18 - 32 cegrees Celsius (65 - 90 degrees Fahrenheit)
Rainy season is characterised by daily showers
and cloudy weather. Humidity is high though the
average temperature is lower than in other seasons.
History
The city was created in 1782 when King Rama I
moved the capital from Thonburi across the Chao
Phraya River, with the river serving as a natural
line of defense against the ever-threatening Burmese
i nvaders. Back then Bangkok was still only a
small village, with canals instead of streets.
Today it is a vibrant, thriving metropolis of
over six million people - approximately 10 percent
of the total population of Thailand, combining
both Bangkok and Thonburi. |
