Bangkok Thailand - hotels and travel guide

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <h1>Bangkok - Thailand</h1> <p><img src="images/watprakaew.jpg" width="200" height="133" align="right">Bangkok, In the midst of dynamic modern growth, miraculously manages to preserve its cultural heritage to a marked degree. The soaring roofs and gleaming spires of the Grand Palace and the city’s many historic temples – Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Temple of Dawn and other evocative shrines – present the visitor with a picture of medieval Oriental wonder; the very stuff of Eastern fairytales. And contained within Bangkok’s monuments and sights are treasures of the nation’s artistic and cultural endeavour that typify the land and the people.</p> <p>The influence of the past and the enduring threads of the social fabric are not limited to the static. They continue to pervade daily life. Files of saffron-robed monks making their early morning alms round, for example, present an image unaltered in essentials by the passing of time. Today’s backdrop of highrise buildings serve only to emphasize the exotic and timeless scene, while the city draws definition from it.</p> <p> <b><a href="main.htm" class="title14bold_white">Bangkok</a>:</b><a href="info/travel_there.htm" target="main"> Travel There</a>, <a href="info/travel_around.htm" target="main">Travel Around</a>, <a href="info/communication.htm" target="main">Communications</a>, <b> <a href="indexhotels.htm" target="_top" class="title14bold_white">Hotels</a>: <a href="indexmaps.htm" target="_top" class="title14bold_white">Maps</a>:</b><a href="maps/airport.htm" target="main"> Airport</a>, <a href="maps/ladprao-ratchada.htm" target="main">Ratchadapisek</a>, <a href="maps/ladprao-ramkhamhaeng.htm" target="main">Ramkhamhaeng</a>, <a href="maps/sukhumvit.htm" target="main">Sukhumvit</a>, <a href="maps/siam-pratunam.htm" target="main">Siam & Pratunam</a>, <a href="maps/silom-sathorn.htm" target="main">Silom & Sathorn</a>, <a href="maps/riverside.htm" target="main">Riverside</a>, <a href="maps/bangna-trad.htm" target="main">Bangna-Trad</a>, <b><a href="indextours.htm" class="title14bold_white" target="_top">Things to do & see</a>:</b> <a href="thingstodo/temple.htm" target="main">Buddhist Temple</a>, <a href="thingstodo/temple.htm" target="main">Palaces</a>, <a href="thingstodo/museum.htm" target="main">National Museum</a>, <a href="thingstodo/others.htm" target="main">Others</a>, <a href="nightlife/index.htm" target="main">Nightlife</a>,<b> <a href="food/index.htm" class="title14bold_white">Food & Dining</a>:</b><a href="food/area01.htm" target="main"> Silom/Sathorn Area</a>, <a href="food/area02.htm" target="main">Hotel dining & Eateries</a>, <a href="food/area03.htm" target="main">Sukhumvit Road Area</a>, <b><a href="javascript:void(parent.frames[0].location.href='top.htm'); void(parent.frames[1].location.href='leftshopping.htm'); void(parent.frames[2].location.href='shopping/index.htm');" class="title14bold_white">Shopping</a>:</b><a href="shopping/index.htm" target="main">What to buy</a>, <a href="shopping/where.htm" target="main">Shopping by location</a>, <a href="shopping/general_tips.htm" target="main">General tips</a>,<b> <a href="festivals/index.htm" class="title14bold_white">Festivals</a>: </b><a href="festivals/index.htm#beer" target="main">Thai Beer Festival</a>, <a href="festivals/index.htm#songkran" target="main">Songkran Festival</a>, <a href="festivals/index.htm#ploughing" target="main">Royal Ploughing</a>, <b> <a href="photo/index.htm" class="title14bold_white" target="main">Photo Gallery</a></b></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.andagraf.com" class="sans"></a></p><table width="500" cellpadding="0" border="0" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="1" align="center"> <tr align="center"> <td class="smalltext" colspan="5"> Other Asian Travel Destinations</td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center"> <td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.laos-travel.net">Laos</a></td><td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.laos-hotels.com">Laos Hotels</a></td><td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.visit-laos.com">Visit Laos</a></td> <td class="smalltext"><a href="http://www.vietnam-travel.ws">Vietnam</a> </td> <td class="smalltext"><a href="http://www.thailand-travel.ws">Thailand</a> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center"> <td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.visit-mekong.com" target="_top">Mekong</a></td><td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.cambodia-hotels.com">Cambodia Hotels</a></td> <td class="smalltext"><a href="http://www.gophiphi.com">Koh Phi Phi</a></td> <td class="smalltext"><a href="http://www.gokrabi.com">Krabi</a> </td> <td class="smalltext"><a href="http://www.gokhaolak.com">Khaolak</a></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center"> <td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.gothailand.com">Thailand</a></td><td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.gophuket.com">Phuket</a></td> <td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.gokohsamui.com">Samui Island</a></td> <td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.gopattaya.com">Pattaya</a></td><td class="smalltext"> <a href="http://www.gochiangmai.com">Chiang Mai</a></td></tr> <tr align="center"> <td class="footer" colspan="5"> <p><a href="http://www.andagraf.com" class="smallsans">webdesign </a><font color="#000000" class="smallsans">by Andaman Graphics <a href="http://www.thaiwave.com" class="smallsans">Phuket</a></font></p> </td></tr> </table></body>
