In
December 1998, when I came up with the idea of building a web site of my own I started to find out what should be the first few web pages for Bangkok. Of course viewing Bangkok from the highest building at that time was selected. About 5 years went by there are probably a thousand of web pages already built for Bangkoksite.com. As of May 2004, I have added a lot of pictures and information for Bangkok as well as the other provinces. It is the time to concentrate more in Bangkok and its neighborhood. Therefore, the "Inside Bangkok" web pages have been constructed. |
