Bangkok lies in the Chao Phraya River delta, about 25 miles (40 km) from the Gulf of Thailand. Once two separate municipalities, Krung Thep on the east bank and Thon Buri on the west are now linked together by more than twenty bridges and several ferry boats. The two were amalgamated and incorporated as a city province with one municipal government in 1971. In 1972, the city and two surrounding provinces were combined into one province, called Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok Metropolis).
