The Bangkok Story: An Historical Guide to the Most Exciting City in the World
Early History
The area that is now Bangkok has been inhabited for centuries, but the city itself was only founded in 1782 by King Rama I. He chose the site because it was located at the confluence of the Chao Phraya River and the Thonburi Canal, which made it a strategic location for trade.
