I live in Bangkok. Bangkok is a city of Thailand. Bangkok is very big and busy city. Traffic jam's all the times. There are so many people from countryside living in this city. At the moment, It's very very hot around 40 degree in the afternoon. It's the hottest weather since I've been in Bangkok. Thai temples are so popular for tourists. You can learn Thai culture and art from these Thai traditional temples. Also, there are a lot of beautiful beach in Thailand, they are located in south of Thailand e.g. Phuket, Krabi very very beautiful. Japanese and European tourist love to go there. About Thai popular food, there are a lot and some of them almost taste spicy food e.g. Salad, Pat Thai and so on.
