After Rama I came to power, he moved the capital to Bangkok and gradually developed into today's metropolis. According to Thai belief, the palace where the king lives is the center of the universe, so the whole building in Bangkok spreads outward around the palace. The first circle is temples and official buildings, the second circle is commercial circle, the third circle is residential area, and the outermost is slums. Most of the palaces and Buddhist temples are built in the Chao Phraya River circle, and the buildings are magnificent. The golden spire is the characteristic of Thai architecture.
