The map of Bangkok
Metropolis Area covers the greater part of Bangkok. Therefore, to
let you find a specific area easier, the map is divided into 3 parts:
Areas A, B and C.
All the maps indicate the positions of accommodations, local bus
routes/terminals, inter-region bus terminals, airline offices, temples,
buildings/shops, cultural centres, embassies, government offices,
international organizations, hospitals, boat landings, police stations/booths,
post offices, BTS Skytrain routes, Metro routes, Airport Bus routes,
railway stations, railways, expressways, etc.

| Bangkok Metropolis Area A : Main
sightseeing spots |
| |
Area
A covers a slightly larger area than the map of Rattanakosin Island.
However, it is easier to find sightseeing spots on the map
of Rattanakosin Island than the map of Area A. Therefore, for
those who aim at sightseeing, the map of Rattanakosin Island is
the better alternative. And as sightseeing spots are concentrated
in this area, walking
tours are a popular activity among tourists. The Temple of the
Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) and the Grand Palace, the two most
visited places in Thailand, are also situated in this area.
Along with the map, if you want to visit these places with
time constraint you are suggested to consult a travel
agent.

Area B, also covering
Area A, is where sightseeing spots as well as the main business, shopping
and entertainment places are located, including Silom, Sathon, Sukhumvit,
etc. Thus, the area is popular among tourists and business people
alike. You can go through the links provided at the top of this page
for details of a specific area.

the maps of Areas A and B as well as the remaining area of Bangkok
Metropolis. Although area C is of less interest to tourists, it

new route where tourist accommodations are mushrooming, was added
to our 2005 edition.
In addition, in our most recent 2006 edition, the area of the new
Suvarnabhumi Airport and Bangna, which are generally not included
in tourist maps, has been included.
This area is composed of 63 sliced maps, total size 959 kb.
