Analysis: This image shows the spread of Bangkok since the small area it was in 1850 and where people have lived in Bangkok overtime. Bangkok’s population is spreading in an inland direction. It is spreading north in the direction of the river. This is due to the easier transport and also because the temperature is a little cooler. By Janelle

Bangkok Parks
There are a few parks in Bangkok, but mostly temples and religious
gardens . As the citizens of Bangkok are very large on their natural
religion. But (because they are large on
their religion) their religious temples
have very easy access, as they want people to be able to access them
easier.

Types of Houses
Unfortunately from personal experience it seems there are more slums then actual housing. Most of the large, neat buildings are for touristy things (i.e hotels and shopping centers or restaurants) and there isn't much housing room for the citizens of Bangkok. The slums of Bangkok are growing rapidly .
“Klong Toey is the largest slum in Bangkok, and the land that the slum tenets occupy is owned by the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT), who has tried numerous times to evict the slum settlements from their land through fires, relocation, and the claim that the land is needed for the good of the public or what is sometimes referred to as eminent domain”

Urban Sprawl
How Has Bangkok changed over time?
Since 2000 Bangkok’s population has grown, annually 2.5 times the rate of its growth from 1980-2000. By 2010 Bangkok region (which includes the provincial level city of Bangkok and the provinces of Samat Prakan, Samut Sakhon, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi and Nakhon Pathom ) was nearing the population of 15 million.
In 19 years, the view of the skyline from this end of Bangkok’s Lumpini Park underwent quite a transformation, blossoming with high-rises even while the greenery in the foreground stayed mostly the same.
Between 2000 and 2010, the city grew by 30%, while the suburban provinces grew more than twice as quickly, at 66%. The city's population growth was 1.9 million, while the suburban provinces added 2.5 million population.
