 Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer to questions.
Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a city of contrasts. It is an exciting, crowded, modern city
and, at the same time, a city that is full of history. The streets of Bangkok are usually noisy
and have too many people. Some people are selling food; others are selling clothing,
cassette tapes, flowers, or souvenirs. Visitors love the river markets, the beautiful temples
and architecture, and the nightlife. Most of the year, Bangkok is hotter than any other
capital city in Asia, but from December to February, the weather is not as warm and so it is
much more comfortable. Actually, it’s an interesting city to visit at any time of the year. The
shopping is excellent, and the prices are not as high as in many other large cities in
Southeast Asia. There is always so much to do in Bangkok at any time of the day or night –
