Why is Bangkok considered as the City of Angels?
In 1782, King Rama I, founder of the Chakri Dynasty, began Rattanakosin Period by moving the capital from Thonburi to the new capital, named Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok), or the City of Angels. … In the reign of King Rama IV and V, there were much development and modernization in Bangkok and Thailand.

This has led to inadequate infrastructure and a haphazard layout with limited roads, terrible traffic, and severe air pollution. By 2030, Bangkok is expected to become one of the world’s megacities with a population surpassing 10 million.
