monarch of the present Chakri dynasty, Bangkok is a national
treasure house and Thailand’s spiritual, cultural, political,
commercial, educational and diplomatic centre.
Bangkok exceeds 1,500 square kilometres in

Major tourist attractions include glittering Buddhist temples,
palaces, timeless “Venice of the East” canal and river scenes,
classical dance extravaganzas, and numerous shopping
centres.
Phuket is the modern name for the island,
and a variation on the older spelling ( a Thai 'T' has been
substituted for a Thai 'J' in the Thai language spelling of
the word ) which evidence shows was itself an exact
translation of the word 'manikram', used by Tamil visitors
from India as long ago as 1025 A.D.(B.E. 1568). It means
'Crystal (or jewel -like) City.' Because Phuket was a
well-known stop among sailor in ancient remains, maps, and
texts, the oldest of which is Ptolemy 's dating from the early
3rd century A.D., where it states that in traveling from
Suwanapoom, (the'Golden Land' : identified as the Southeast
Asian Peninsula) down to the Malay Peninsula, one passes 'Cape
Junk Ceylon', which is a name often seen on old maps applied
to Phuket.
