Due to the severe flood in Thailand, the marathon organizer agreed to postpone the 24th Standard Chartered Bangkok Marathon race day from 20 November 2011 to 12 February 2012.
Standard Charterd Bangkok Marathon is a world standard athletic sport of Thailand which is popular among Thai and foreign runners and tourists as much as the marathon in other famous cities in the world. Bangkok is known as the City of Angels, to whom the glittering roof of the Grand Palace is said to reach. You will forget about the tiredness from your 42.195 km. running but will be filled with happiness from the warm welcome and cheerful smiles. Most of all it's really the genuine smiles of the people throughout the competition which you will find your decision most impressive and worthwhile.
