About Bangkok
Thailand's capital, on the Chao Phraya river near the Gulf of Thailand. Tourism, manufacturing and its central Southeast Asian position make it the region's busiest market.
Population about 8,300,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Bangkok is a leisure market: most of its traffic is going on holiday, which rewards big aircraft on fewer flights.
