Top 10 Tours in Bangkok - Bangkok Most Popular Tours. Les Klongs (canaux) de Bangkok - Thaïlande. La capitale thaïlandaise aime se faire appeler la Venise de l’Asie du Sud-est. La « cité des anges » ne vole en effet pas son appellation de sérénissime locale ! Impossible de ne pas remarquer l’impétueux fleuve Chao Praya qui traverse Bangkok mais au premier abord, on ne remarque pas nécessairement les canaux (les « klongs » en thaï) qui en dérivent. Ils font pourtant partie intégrante de la ville. Ils sont également devenus un « immanquable » touristique, au même titre que le grand palais, ou encore Wat Pho... Les klongs aujourd’hui Le facteur touristique combiné à la croissance économique qu’a connu la Thaïlande ces dernières décennies ont fait que les klongs d’aujourd’hui ne sont plus ceux d’il y a trente ans.
Rassurez-vous tout de même, ils ont su garder une certaine authenticité et cet aspect village qui les caractérise encore maintenant.

Grand Palace. Chakri Maha Prasat in the Grand Palace, completed in 1882 Construction of the palace began on 6 May 1782, at the order of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I), the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital city from Thonburi to Bangkok. Throughout successive reigns, many new buildings and structures were added, especially during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). By 1925, the king, the Royal Family and the government were no longer permanently settled at the palace, and had moved to other residences.
After the abolition of absolute monarchy in 1932, all government agencies completely moved out of the palace. In shape, the palace complex is roughly rectangular and has a combined area of 218,400 square metres (2,351,000 sq ft), surrounded by four walls. Rather than being a single structure, the Grand Palace is made up of numerous buildings, halls, pavilions set around open lawns, gardens and courtyards.
