Founded as a trading post in the 16th century Bangkok was previosly known as Bang Makok (Place of Olives). Bangkok became Thailands capital in 1782. The city has a history of great military signifigance and a fortress was built in 18th century, later the Chakri Dynasty was founded. In 1782 King Rama 1 moved Bangkok to the other side of the Chao Phraya river to make it easier to defend.

City walls, Temples and the canal system were built and the new capital was renamed Krung Thep (City of Angels) in 1785 but the old name of Bangkok is still knowen and used by the rest of the world. The city continued to expand and in 1932 Thailand established a constitutional government and today Bangkok is the financial hub of South East Asia.
