### Host city

*Further information on the host city: Bangkok*

**Bangkok** is the capital and most populous city of Thailand. It is known in Thai as **Krung Thep Maha Nakhon** or simply **Krung Thep**. The city occupies 1,568.7 square kilometers (605.7 sq mi) in the Chao Phraya River delta in central Thailand and has a population of over eight million, 12.6 percent of the country's population. Over fourteen million people (22.2 percent) lived within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan Region at the 2010 census, making Bangkok the nation's primate city, dwarfing Thailand's other urban centers in both size and importance to the national economy.

Bangkok traces its roots to a small trading post during the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 15th century, which eventually grew and became the site of two capital cities: Thonburi in 1768 and Rattanakosin in 1782. Bangkok was at the heart of the modernization of Siam, later renamed Thailand, during the late-19th century, as the country faced pressures from the West. The city was at the center of Thailand's political struggles throughout the 20th century, as the country abolished absolute monarchy, adopted constitutional rule, and underwent numerous coups and several uprisings. The city grew rapidly during the 1960s through the 1980s and now exerts a significant impact on Thailand's politics, economy, education, media and modern society.

## Incident

### Río de la Plata's disqualification

The Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata was originally disqualified after their jury did not cast their vote. The contest reference group stated that Alexia could still participate in the contest with the song "Tango" in the future editions. However, the decision was later ruled out by the reference group. Aggregated votes were used as a replacement for the country.
