Bangkok is one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most vibrant cities. It contains the lion’s share of Thailand’s wealth and is ten times bigger than the country’s next biggest city. It is also the seat of Government and usual residence of Thailand’s Royal family.

Bangkok has a tropical type of climate
The national language is Thai, a tonal language with a unique script. Thai proves challenging for most foreigners to learn well, but a rudimentary understanding of Thai will make your trip more enjoyable.

Most Thais do not speak English, but those you're likely to encounter — hotel clerks, waiters, guides — will know enough English to get their job done. In return, it's helpful if you follow certain guidelines (see link below) for being understood. Note that cab drivers may speak no English; it's best to have a card or advertisement showing where you want to go; have someone write it out in Thai, or have a dispatcher translate your instructions to the driver.
In airports, major cities, and resort areas, most signs will be in both Thai and English.
