Bangkok is officially named in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, although the locals simply call it "Krung Thep". The city has a distinct geography, with the Chaopraya River running through the metropolitan area of Bangkok. Bangkok offers a huge variety of hotels that provide visitors and business travelers with great accommodations and facilities throughout the city, downtown, and along the Chaopraya River. The BTS Sky Train is currently spreading beyond Bangkok. It is the most convenient way to get around downtown for shopping, eating, and resting. Thailand is well-known for its food, with Bangkok being the greatest.
