And the population in the Greater Vancouver area is over 2.6 million.

It is commonly believed that Vancouver is one of the most livable cities not only in Canada but also globally. It goes without saying that it is also one of the most expensive cities in the country as well as in the world. The urban planning design philosophy of the city is known as Vancouverism and it is moving towards its goal of becoming the greenest city in the world.

The city was previously named Gastown. In 1886 it was renamed Vancouver, because of a deal with the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1887, The Canadian Pacific Transcontinental railway was finally extended to the city. 

Vancouver being a major global city has been home to several international events and different types of conferences. Some of the important and notable events that took place in the city include the UN Habitat I, Expo 86, the 1954 Commonwealth Games, APEC Canada 1997, and the 1989 and 2009 World Police and Fire Games. Sports events like the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2010 Winter Olympics were also held in the city of Vancouver. The Ted conference also takes place in this city.

Forestry is the largest industry in Vancouver followed by tourism which is the second largest industry. The city has become home to a number of big production companies and film studios. Interestingly, Vancouver has received a nickname and is often called the ”Hollywood North”. 

Popular movies like Bryan Cranston starrer Godzilla, Ryan Reynolds and Mark Ruffalo starrer The Adam Project, the action thriller flick Assault On Wall Street, and Seth Rogen and James Franco starrer action comedy movie The Interview were filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.

This is where the rest of the filming of The Hunters took place. Thailand which is officially known as the Kingdom of Thailand was previously called Siam.

Thailand borders Myanmar and Laos to the north, Laos, and Cambodia to the east, the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia to the south and the Andaman Sea to the west. Thailand being a middle power in international affairs and one of the founding members of ASEAN certainly ranks quite high in the Human Development Index.
