Here and There in Bangkok

Bangkok became the capital of Siam (as Thailand was previously known) in 1782, when General Chao Phraya Chakkri, the founder of the ruling Chakkri dynasty, assumed the throne as Rama I and moved the court from the west to the east bank of the Chao Phraya River.

Hi John, I missed out on your recent galleries. This one is cool, many different views from the run of the mill BKK galleries. So, you went to Thailand! O have to leave for work, will visit it all this evening. Nice to see you alive and kicking (well, clicking...).

Fabulous gallery (galleries)! Your coverage of Bangkok throughout these galleries is very impressive! One gets a real "feel" of the city. My first visit was in January 06 - a very memorable trip.
