BANGKOK SIGHT SEERS

Bangkok is a city offering myriad sights to its visitors..the reason why I went there and try to see its pride...Bangkok is a shoppers paradise. You can also see the world’s largest Buddha made from solid gold. I'll be back there to feel the unique and wonderful blend of the east and west. This is the city where the two cultures live side by side, complementing each other.
Most of the Filipinos who are working in Bangkok itself never knew that there's a sightseers in the capital city.

It is interesting to know that it is a city where two cultures live side by side. I hope I could set foot on that city one day.
