Bangkok
My first card from Thailand is from Ming (FB swap), a nice girl from Bangkok.

Bangkok is the capital city of and largest urban area in Thailand. It is known in Thai
as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (กรุงเทพมหานคร) or simply Krung Thep, meaning "city of angels".
Bangkok is by far the most densely populated city in Thailand with about 12
million people. Bangkok was a small trading post near the mouth of the Chao
Phraya River during the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 15th century. It eventually
grew in size and became the site of two capital cities: Thonburi in 1768 and
Rattanakosin in 1782.
Because of its strategic location in Southeast Asia, Siam (later Thailand) acted as a
buffer-zone between the French and British colonial empires. Bangkok itself has
gained a reputation as an independent, dynamic and influential city. Bangkok is
not only the political, social and economic centre of Thailand, but plays a
role as the dominant urban center of the all Indochina, cementing it as among
the leading centers in Southeast Asia along with Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and
Jakarta.
