The Limelights Of Bangkok,Thailand

Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand.Bangkok is blessed with colorful entertainment places for the tourists.One of the limelights of Bangkok ,Thailand is Siam Ocean World.Large colorfully painted buses are treat to watch and travel .The Siam Ocean World ,aptly billed as South east Asia's largest aquarium.The traffic is worse but orderly even at its peak hours.Siam Ocean World boasts of around 400 species of sea creatures including colorful fish of different sizes and hues ,menacing sharks and rays,sea jellies,penguins,turtles and water rats.Seeing divers feeding them is a sight to remember.
Mentioned in the Guiness Book of World Records,The Siam Niramit Theatre,is presently the venue of a magnum opus that projects Thai history and culture .It is built at a cost fo US$ 40 million .Depicting he history and culture of Thailand,the Journey to the Enchanted Kingdom of Siam ,featuring 150 performers and three elephants that appears on the humungous stage holds the viewers in awe.The special effects are amazing,with no glitches in the performance during the 80 minutes show.
Another exciting feature of Bangkok is the Safari World.Seated on the upper deck of the bus people have a good look at different animals,from lions and tigers to giraffes and zebras,and birds of different kinds .Two hundred species of animals including rare and endangered ones are a sight to behold,particularly the multicolored macaws,some of them are not to be seen in the wild.
A visit to Night Bazaar is also amazing.A salesgirl selling display items may quote 150 baht for a pair of salt and pepper dispensers but would agree to sell it for one third the price..Here the name of the game is bargaining.
In short ,any one visiting Bangkok would find immense pleasure in enjoying these places.
