Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River delta gives Thailand’s capital a vast urban footprint across central Thailand. Known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, or simply Krung Thep, it is home to an estimated 9.1 million people and anchors a metropolitan region of more than 17.4 million. Its scale and economic importance far exceed those of Thailand’s other urban centres, making it both a megacity and an extreme primate city.
