There is a city in Thailand with a very long full name, which also set a Guinness Book of Records. It is certified as the longest city in the world. As shown in the figure, a * * * has 167 letters! Translated into Chinese, it means: city of angels, the magnificent Chengdu, the pearl of Buddhism, the most peaceful and greatest place in the Buddhist-Lord war ... It can be seen that this city, like Chang 'an, represents many beautiful meanings, but the whole journey is too long for Thais to remember, so they habitually call the first three words "Taifu". I believe many people have guessed that the translation of this city into Chinese is Bangkok, with only two short words.
In Thailand, more than 90% of the population believes in Buddhism, so Bangkok, as the capital, has the largest number of Buddhist temples in the world, with more than 400, which is called the "Buddhist Capital". Bangkok is also the most economically developed place in Thailand, which controls 44% of Thailand's total economic output, owns 90% of Thailand's foreign trade and has a GDP of about 247.4 billion US dollars. According to the data released by gawc 2065 438+08, Bangkok is rated as the first-tier city in the world.
In fact, Bangkok is as nationalized as Shanghai, but at first it was just a small fishing village. /kloc-In the middle of the 0/8th century, after the establishment of the Wu Li Dynasty, the third dynasty in Thailand, Bangkok only changed from a small fishing village to a small market and residential area. The next rise of Bangkok will wait until 1782, when the Wu Dynasty perished, the Bangkok Dynasty was established, the founding monarch Rama I moved to Bangkok, and Bangkok developed like a rocket.
After Rama I ascended the throne, the construction of people's livelihood in Bangkok has developed rationally. 1892 has trains, 1900 has railways, and 19 16 has Chulalongkorn University, the first university of Thailand. Chulalongkorn University, founded by Rama VI, is regarded as the pioneer of higher education in Thailand, where Princess Sirindhorn graduated.
Thailand in World War II was the only country that was not invaded by Japan and was not disturbed by the war. The area and population of Bangkok are developing rapidly. After the end of World War II, Thailand and Wu Li merged to form the Greater Bangkok Metropolitan Area from 65438 to 0972.
Because of the proximity between Bangkok and China, many tourists from China will visit Bangkok. For tourists from China, Thailand is a more affordable choice, which is rich in tropical fruits and tropical scenery.
In addition, there is a Chinatown in Bangkok, which is located in the west of Bangkok and has existed in Bangkok for more than 200 years. Although it is heavily commercialized here, you can also see some old towers, China Cinema and Chaozhou Theater. The owners of shops are basically from China, and people who want to buy gold wares can also come here to buy them.
Thai culture is very different from China culture. If you want to go to a temple in Bangkok, you must dress dignified and not touch the Buddha statue casually. Women can't have physical contact with monks casually. Since you have gone to other countries, you should abide by their cultural customs so as not to leave a bad impression on China people abroad.
