Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a city that combines ancient traditions with modern cultural diversities. Amid its concrete and glass high-rises, multi-lane expressways, and bustling urban sprawl, Bangkok still remains a city of temples and palaces, of golden spires and orange-tiered roofs, of saffron-robed monks and serene Buddha images. Amazingly, in the midst of dynamic growth, the city of Bangkok manages to preserve its cultural heritage to a marked degree. Also known as the City of Angels (Krung Thep, in Thai), Bangkok offers plenty of reasons to join a fruitful congress and enjoy a pleasant stay!
