On tonight's episode of the Restful Record, drift into a peaceful slumber as we explore the rich history of Bangkok, Thailand, a city of golden temples, bustling markets, and centuries-old traditions. From its origins as a small trading post on the Chao Phraya River to its rise as the thriving capital of Siam in 1782, we unravel the fascinating stories behind Bangkok’s royal palaces, canal networks, and cultural landmarks. Discover the legacy of King Rama I and the Chakri dynasty, the influence of European trade, and the transformation of Bangkok into a global metropolis. We explore its rich culture and draw to international tourists, including its darker sides of sex tourism, mysterious tourist deaths on "murder island", to its revival as a destination through Television and movies.
With soothing narration, gentle breathwork, and calming background sounds, this episode will guide you into deep relaxation.
