Why Bangkok Is One Of The Most Visited Cities In The World

The capital city of Thailand and maybe the traffic jam capital of the planet, Bangkok is a fascinating, exciting and incredible city to visit. Like many other capital cities Bangkok never goes to sleep, there is always a hive of activity as people work around the clock in their various professions.

With eight million inhabitants living within the city you will find yourself encountering every walk of life, from the super poor to the mega rich they all congregate in the one city and each feels at home as the other.

Thailand’s capital city attracts hundreds of thousands of people from all over the globe every year. It offers tourists a unique set of characteristics – it is the largest and most developed city in Thailand but manages to maintain its historical architecture and traditions dating back hundreds of years. Bangkok, which is for most a jumping off point for Thailand holidays, is packed with everything from excitement and chaos, to freedom, beauty, and adventure. Through the hustle and bustle, gigantic skyscrapers, grand palaces and temples, and a world-renowned floating market, Bangkok continues to attract millions of travelers from around the world.

The best way to go about exploring Bangkok’s floating markets is to hop aboard one of the many guided boat tours on offer. The 3 most popular floating markets in Bangkok are Damnoen Saduak, Amphawa, and Klong Lat Mayom with Damnoen Saduak being the most popular floating market in the country.

Here all you architectural and culture junkies can lose yourselves in the ancient designs of the diverse array of Buddhist sculptures and temples that flow through the vicinity. Most popular amongst tourists has to be Wat Phra Kaew,

Bangkok is arguably the largest and most developed city in Southeast Asia and years ahead of the majority of other cities and towns that scatter the Kingdom of Thailand. I urge you to go and see for yourself why the fuss about Bangkok exists.

Limited Food Access

 Limited Food Access

The inability to access sufficient amounts of food is an issue that plagues populations globally. Worldwide, about 795 million people suffer from chronic undernourishment, and about 15% of households in the U.S. lack food to some degree. More than 29 million Americans live in “food deserts”, which means that they do not have a supermarket “within a mile of their home if they live in an urban area, or within 10 miles of their home if they live in a rural area.” On top of the absence of these markets, limited mobility, economic barriers, and a lack of fresh food options prevent certain low-income communities from obtaining healthy and affordable food. This problem has only been exacerbated by the farm policy incentives that drive an excess production of sweets, fats, and meats, and producers choosing to cut costs through extensive food processing and use of high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated soy oil to increase product self-life and convenience.

withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi has been asked by the United States to send a delegation to Baghdad to begin preparations for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq.

The statement issued Friday from the office of the caretaker Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said that the Prime Minister had telephoned US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to send a delegation.
On Thursday night, Adil Abdul Mahdi telephoned US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and requested him to send delegates to Iraq who set out procedures for implementing the Iraqi parliament's decision to withdraw foreign troops from Iraq. . '
Parliament voted in favor of the withdrawal of all foreign troops on Sunday, following the killing of Qasim Sulaimani, the commander of the Iranian Quds Force in Iraq, according to news agency AFP. The deployment of foreign troops is the result of an agreement between the governments of the two countries, which was never ratified by the country's parliament.
The next day, US commanders sent a letter to their counterparts in Baghdad saying they were planning to leave Iraq.

The letter said the alliance would change the deployment of forces in the coming days and weeks to prepare for the withdrawal.
The US Defense Department said the letter was sent in error, but Abdul Mahdi disagreed with the US stance, saying that his office received signed and translated copies of the letter.
The Iraqi Prime Minister has asked Washington to explain its intentions, while the US-led military alliance said Thursday that it also wants to clarify the legal implications of the parliament's vote.
Currently, there are approximately 5200 US troops at US military bases throughout Iraq that help the Iraqi army prevent ISIS from reorganizing.
The troops are part of a larger US-led coalition that was invited by the Iraqi government to come to Iraq in 2014 to help fight the jihadists.
It is understood that after the assassination of Iranian commander Qasim Sulaimani, Iran targeted two US military bases in Iraq.

USA vs Iran | Comparison military strength

The tensions between Iran
and the United States stretch back decades, well predating the Trump
administration. The most dangerous flash point has long been the Strait of
Hormuz, a narrow waterway that connects the Persian Gulf to the rest of the
world.

So far, a full-scale conflict
between the U.S. and its allies and Iran and its proxies remains in the realm
of wargaming at the moment. But with tensions rising between the U.S. and Iran,
and as the U.S. moves more troops and military assets into the region, Pentagon
planners and top U.S. intelligence officials have begun taking a closer look at
what such a conflict might entail.

USA

The
first country to develop and to military use nuclear warheads in the world.
Everything started from the Manhattan project, a research that had one
particular goal in focus – to develop and produce the first nuclear weapon.
Americans were the first to wield such powerful weapon. Everything started in
1941, which is date of the beginning of Manhattan project. Since the end of the
Second World War, United States became the leading country when it comes to
possessing nuclear warheads and it lasted approximately to 1980s. We should
also bear in mind that United States are also the only nation that ever-used
nuclear weapon in military conflict.

In
1960, the number of warheads stored by Americans exceeded 30,000. However, it
is worth to note that throughout the entire period of the so-called Cold War,
USA managed to build approximately 70,000 nuclear warheads, what is more than
all other countries with access to nuclear weapons combined. From the first
test that happened in 1945 to this day, the USA conducted 1054 tests of atomic
bombs. Still, as a result of introduced restrictions on the number of warheads
one state can possess, the current number has dropped to 6500 warheads.
Noteworthy is also the fact that out of this number, United States deployed
only 1600.

Iran

Does
not have nuclear weapons.
