Bangkok Maps and Orientation
(Bangkok, Thailand, TH)



Thailand's most affluent and densely popular city, Bangkok is also the biggest city in the whole country. With a population of around seven million inhabitants, Bangkok is a true metropolis and has expanded over the years, swallowing up surrounding locations.

Bangkok stands on the eastern banks of the winding Chao Phraya River (Mae Nam Chao Phraya) and is roughly split into two main regions by the railway line, which runs in a north to south direction. The region located between both the railway and the river is particularly appealing and is known as Old Bangkok, often being referred to as Ko Rattanakosin.
