BANGKOK: 2013 tourist awards!

Last month Sept 2013, MasterCard’s "Global Destination Cities Index" declared that: Bangkok 

-Thailand capital and portal to some of the country’s renowned beaches- 

would be the most visited city on earth in 2013.

The Southeast Asian megacity beats London, Paris and New York for the title, with 15.98 million visitors expected this year. 

London was a close second, with 15.96 million people expected. 

This is the first time an Asian city has grabbed the top spot on the index.

And now... Let's go to BKK and wait for the new year 2014 results! ;)

LOS: do you know why?

Thailand is commonly called LOS in the slang language...

do you know why?

 

LOS actually means: "Land of Smiles" 

Thailand has been called LOS by many people who live here and many who visit this charming land. The “Smiles” seem to come from a combination of the beautiful countryside, the laid-back, pleasant Thai people, the lower cost of living, a more relaxing pace, many opportunities for fun and entertainment at affordable prices, and the many other advantages of living in the exciting Orient.

The people of Thailand are gentle, fun-loving and easy to get to know. 

If you try to learn the language, you will endear yourself to them as they love to hear foreigners try to say their words.

You can smile at any Thai you pass by, while walking on the street, and that person will most likely smile back at you.

shots of Thai: FAMOUS MOVIES

Dozens of foreign films have been shot in Thailand.
The availability of elephants, exotic jungle and beach settings, relatively low production costs and a good domestic film industry, have made Thailand an attractive location for many Hollywood films and other foreign productions.

BANGKOK: the City of Angels

Do you know that Los Angeles is not the only "City of Angels" of the world?

The full ceremonial name of Bangkok enters Thailand in the Guinness Book of World Records as the place with longest name in the world:

-Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.-

  The original name was given by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke that relocated the city on the eastern side of the river and gave the city its ceremonial name.

Luckily for the Thai people, their language allows many words to be shortened 

and the city picked up the official name of Krung Thep Maha Nakorn 

 – meaning "the City of Angles".
