Summary

[edit]
Description

The restored ramparts of <a href="http://bangkokforvisitors.com/golden-mount/mahakan-fort.php" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Mahakan Fort</a> mark the entrance to the Royal City, or Ratanakosin Island as it's also called. A wall punctuated by 14 such forts and 16 gates once encircled the city, which was further protected by the canal. <a href="http://bangkokforvisitors.com/golden-mount/mahakan-fort.php" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Mahakan Fort</a> is one of only two such towers that remain from the original late 18th century walls.

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> Bangkok </a> is the capital and the most populous city of Thailand. It is known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon or simply Krung Thep. The city occupies 1,568.7 square kilometres in the Chao Phraya River delta in Central Thailand, and has a population of over eight million, or 12.6 percent of the country's population. Over fourteen million people (22.2 percent) live within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan Region, making <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> Bangkok </a> an extreme primate city, dwarfing Thailand's other urban centres in terms of importance. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org</a>
