My friend Net, proud to be

The
places that you cannot miss
The
places that people cannot miss when visiting Thailand are the Temples. Many people
come to Thailand only because of the Temples. You can see the beauty of the Temples
everywhere in Thailand. But many of the most beautiful temples are locate here in
Bangkok. There are nine main temples, which were created by the order of the
nine Chakri kings. The most beautiful of these nine temples is
Ben-cha-ma-bor-pit, which was created by the order of King Rama 5th. It is
located in the middle of Bangkok.

Temple of Dawn
General overview
People
always think that there are high pollution, traffic jams and many bad things
about Bangkok. But don’t worry about these facts too much, you have to
think and dream about many more good things in Bangkok that you will find when
you visit here.
Another important fact about Bangkok, is about the differences between people.
You will see some people driving a Jaguar, a Mercedes or even a Rolls Royce and
you will also see some people begging for only a coin for their life. This is an
ordinary thing in Bangkok.
Back
to the big problem in Bangkok, the traffic jam. It will be a small problem soon
after the birth of the sky train. The sky train, which was opened for the first
time on December the 5th 1999, the king’s 72nd birthday, helps the problem
about traffic jams a lot. Both routes of the sky train cover nearly all the
jammed roads. Later the underground will be a powerful allied with the sky train
to help the traffic problems. You can count on them.
