The city of Bangkok, known in Thai as Krung Thep or “City of Angels”, is the capital of Thailand.
Bangkok is the country's principal gateway and port. It is 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the sea. The city sprawls 1,500 sq km (58 square miles), on both sides of Thailand's main river, the Chao Phraya.
The name "Bangkok" historically refers to one section of the city. This neighbourhood became so well-known that, for international visitors today, Bangkok is the name of the city itself.
