Información General
Así que estás de paso por Bangkok, de vacaciones en Phuket o Pattaya, y decidiste reservar 1, 2 o 3 días para explorar las atracciones de Bangkok, pero no sabes por dónde comenzar. Seamos honestos: para ver detalladamente todos los lugares populares y no tan populares de la capital de Tailandia, necesitarías al menos una semana; pero como no contamos con tanto tiempo, nos conformaremos. Siéntete libre de usar nuestra guía de viaje improvisada en tu visita.
En Un Día
¿Qué puedes ver en Bangkok en 1 día? Sí, un solo día basta para visitar 2–3 lugares famosos, y todos deberían estar a poca distancia entre sí para no pasar mucho tiempo en el camino.
Hemos reunido una lista de lugares relativamente cercanos, y lo más importante, con una referencia en el mapa, para que puedas orientarte de inmediato.
Así, para una excursión de un día, servirán los siguientes sitios de interés:
- El Gran Palacio;
- Templo del Buda Esmeralda;
- Templo del Buda Reclinado;
- Templo del Amanecer;
- Templo de la Montaña Dorada.
Si no tienes transporte propio, es improbable visitar los cinco lugares. Lo ideal es planificar 2–3 sitios y examinarlos a fondo. Si dispones de una motocicleta de alquiler, la tarea se facilita y, en ese caso, puedes añadir un lugar más a la lista, no más.
Gran Palacio de Bangkok
The Grand Palace is a magnificent landmark and a must-see in Bangkok. Its intricate architecture, ornate details, and rich history showcase Thailand’s cultural heritage at its finest. Walking through the palace grounds feels like stepping into a royal era, with highlights like the Emerald Buddha Temple leaving a lasting impression. A visit here is truly unforgettable.
The ticket price is 500 baht btw ! And remember not to wear sleeveless shirts and shorts ! I enjoyed visiting despite it being a top tourist location (i.e. crowded). The architecture and artwork is awesome. It was a lovely day to go, not too hot. Make sure to dress appropriately-no shorts, midriffs or bare shoulders. The signage was helpful and the staff I met were helpful. The textile museum was a bonus that more people should check out. The Grand Palace is the official residence of the king of Thailand.
Part of the palace is open for public including the emerald Buddha temple and other building inside the compound.
It’s a breathtaking experience to see the art and architecture of this palace.
The early you reach the crowd will be less. It’s opens at 8.30.
Sleeveless and shorts are not allowed inside the palace. The buildings are massive and represent the thai architectural heritage
A must visit place in Bangkok The area is beautiful and impressive! A must when in Bangkok! The entrance fee is 500 baht per person. We were there on a Friday at around 9 a.m., the complex opens at 8:30. We didn't have to wait and we didn't buy any tickets in advance. The dress code was taken very seriously! Make sure you wear long trousers! Women can also wear long skirts and dresses, but they are well above the knee! Shoulders must be covered. It got very busy during the morning and there were sometimes large crowds. Accordingly, you should either be there very early or probably later, just before it closes, if you don't like crowds. Otherwise, super beautiful! The Grand Palace is truly one of the best and most beautiful architecture I have ever seen. If you are into history, the free English tour (3 to 4 times a day inside the palace) is recommended.
The palace is usually so crowded that you can't walk easily. I recommend cloudy days or the time of the day when the sun is not in the middle of the sky as this will make your visit very uncomfortable.Información de la atracción

El Gran Palacio de Bangkok es un lugar que se debe visitar si es tu primera vez en el país. Fue la antigua residencia de los monarcas de Tailandia, construido durante el reinado de Rama I en el siglo XVIII.
Durante la construcción del palacio, se tomó como base la antigua residencia real ubicada en la antigua capital, Ayutthaya.
En el recinto del palacio se esconde la historia de Tailandia entre pagodas, complejos de templos y otros edificios. El palacio es una proyección del país.
Horario: 8:30–16:30 (ten en cuenta que los boletos dejan de venderse a las 15:30, pues las taquillas cierran a esa hora).
Precio de entrada: 500 baht por persona.
Si lo deseas, puedes alquilar una audioguía en la taquilla por 200 baht.
Algunas reglas:
- Está prohibido llevar hombros descubiertos o pantalones cortos dentro del recinto del palacio (puedes alquilar una prenda especial por 200 baht);
- Antes de entrar a un templo, debes quitarte los zapatos (el templo, no el recinto del palacio);
- No se permite equipo de video dentro de los templos.
Tiempo aproximado de visita: 3.5–4 horas
Templo del Buda Esmeralda (Wat Phra Kaew)
Beautiful temples with a lot of history to walk around. 500baht entrance fee but this does include some other attractions as well so if you do them it's worth it. There are free guided tours at various times throughout the day, we did one and it was really good, the guide was amazing and we really enjoyed it! But be prepared for it to be busy no matter what time of day you get there!! Also men must wear trousers, even shorts covering the knees were not allowed. This is a beautiful Temple with intricate details and paintings in the buildings surrounding the main Temple. You can only visit with a full entrance ticket to the Royal Palace, which are available at the door. I would recommend getting a tour guide as there is not too much information posted and the guides seem very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and faith of the Temple. Note, they do strictly enforce attire so please dress appropriately (no shorts or skirts, or revealing tops), otherwise you will have to purchase pants! Another complex where photographs do not quite do the structures justice. The detail and architecture of the entire complex were amazing and while there were a lot of people, even early in the morning, it was well worth the visit. Would recommend if in Bangkok. Beautiful temple definitely recommend going in a little earlier in the day as it get really crowded very quickly. There is no photos allowed inside of the temple of the Emerald Buddha.
Really enjoy the beautiful painting of Thailand national epics "The Ramakien", make sure to check it out. Here is one of the most stunning spots in Bangkok. Located inside the Grand Palace, it is famous for its intricate architecture, colorful murals, and the Emerald Buddha statue. It is a place that blends beauty, culture, and sacred vibes.
Tips:
1. Dress respectfully by covering your shoulders and knees. If needed, you can rent clothes at the entrance.
2. Arrive early, ideally at 8:30 AM, to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before the crowds arrive.
3. Bring water and maybe a hat or umbrella, as Bangkok’s heat can be intense.
4. Your ticket includes the Grand Palace, so make sure to plan time to explore both.
5. Photography is allowed outside but not inside the main hall with the Buddha.Información de la atracción

El Templo Wat Phra Kaew (Wat Phra Keo) resulta interesante por la asombrosa historia de la aparición de la escultura del Buda Esmeralda. Según los habitantes, esta estatua fue creada en los cielos, y posteriormente, el rey celestial (miembro de la familia real) ayudó a llevar la estatua a Wat Phra Kaew. Una leyenda hermosa que hace este lugar aún más atractivo, definitivamente merece la pena contemplarlo por ti mismo.
Además, al estar cerca del Gran Palacio, el Templo del Buda Esmeralda se incluye automáticamente en la lista de cualquiera que tenga solo un día para viajar.
Sus horarios coinciden con los del Gran Palacio.
Precio de entrada: 400 baht.
Tiempo aproximado de visita: 1–1.5 horas
Templo del Buda Reclinado (Wat Pho)
One of the highlights of the entire complex. The size and magnitude of the image was incredible. It's a tight space with a lot of people, so make sure you take your time enjoying the beauty that is the entire room and the image. But of course, also be aware of those around you as well, so that everyone can enjoy as well. Absolutely recommend. The Reclining Buddha is an absolute must-visit! Located in a serene and well-maintained temple, the Buddha statue is massive and awe-inspiring. It's one of the largest reclining Buddha statues in the world, and the craftsmanship is stunning. The surrounding gardens and the peaceful ambiance make it a perfect place for reflection and relaxation. I highly recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid crowds and fully take in the beauty of this historic and spiritual site. The intricate details on the statue’s feet are especially mesmerizing. Don’t forget to take a moment to appreciate the peaceful energy of the place! This is a must visit place in Bangkok. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main city, this is a beautiful temple with superb architecture.
The main sanctum where Reclining Buddha resides is massive. The huge statue of sleeping Buddha must be atleast 100 m in length and it's difficult to take pictures of the full statue from your phone. Its so huge.
Apart from that the other temples are also gorgeous. Wat Pho was the first temple that we ever visited and it has set the bar very high! The reclining Buddha is a sight to behold, honestly beautiful and photos do not do it justice of how big it is!
The grounds are all beautiful to walk around and see, there is an interactive board which gives you info on your phone apparently but we couldn’t make it work! When I’m going to these places I love to learn and would’ve been nice to be able to learn a bit more about where we was and what we was seeing, so that is why we didn’t give it 5 stars! Still, Very beautiful and very worth visiting. Please be respectful and cover up! It is not an Instagram attraction! Amazing - and beautiful... well worth the 300THB cover charge... the throngs of people, however, can be overwhelming. Shoes off in the green bags provided. Take your time to enjoy the dimensions of this statue... look for the gaps between the pillars to get a bit closer to take a better photo. Warning of pickpockets are issued continuously at the entrance... so please be aware and safe.
Two thumbs up!!Información de la atracción

Wat Pho se ubica no muy lejos de los dos primeros sitios de interés, y su singularidad no radica solo en la inmensa extensión del complejo del templo (cerca de 80,000 m², imposible de recorrer incluso hasta el anochecer, especialmente si quieres ver más lugares), sino también en la estatua del Buda reclinado más grande del mundo. Sus dimensiones:
Longitud: 95 m
Altura: 15 m
El templo en sí se considera uno de los más antiguos del país, ya que su historia se remonta al siglo XII, comenzando como un pequeño monasterio. Luego, el monasterio se amplió junto con el territorio circundante.
Las normas de conducta dentro del complejo son las mismas que en cualquier monasterio budista, pero hay un detalle positivo: los zapatos que te quitas se llevan contigo en una bolsa especial que proporciona el personal.
Horario: 8:30–18:30. Precio de entrada: 100 baht por persona.
Tiempo aproximado de visita: 2–2.5 horas
Templo del Amanecer (Wat Arun)
This temple is truly one of the most beautiful and unique I’ve ever seen. The entry fee is 200 Thai Baht, which includes a complimentary small water bottle—a thoughtful touch.
The architecture and intricate design of the structure are breathtaking and unlike anything else. While the area outside is quite crowded, the inside of the temple is much calmer, allowing you to soak in its beauty.
There are plenty of souvenir shops around and clean bathrooms nearby, making it convenient for visitors. A delightful highlight was seeing people dressed in traditional Thai costumes, posing for stunning photographs taken by professional photographers available for hire. It’s definitely worth doing if you have time—the photos turn out incredible!
Overall, a must-visit for its beauty, cultural significance, and photo opportunities. Wonderful view and beautiful temple!
I felt like I should have visited before.
You can try the Thai costume there and can take amazingly beautiful pictures.
We went there like around 6pm and that was an awesome sunset with a cool breeze but very crowded.
You can enjoy the perfect view on the way to the temple from the Hop On Hop Off tourist boat.
Highly recommend! **A Majestic Riverside Landmark in Bangkok**
Located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, **Wat Arun** (Temple of Dawn) is one of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks, offering a blend of rich history, stunning architecture, and serene beauty. Visiting this temple was an unforgettable experience, providing both a deep sense of spirituality and breathtaking views of the river and cityscape.
**History and Significance**
Wat Arun’s history dates back to the 17th century, though the temple in its current form was constructed during the reign of King Rama II in the early 19th century. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god **Aruna**, who is often associated with the dawn. Its name, "Temple of Dawn," reflects its stunning appearance as the sun rises over the river, casting light on its towering spires. Wat Arun holds immense religious significance, not only as a Buddhist temple but also as a symbol of Thailand’s rich cultural heritage.
**Architectural Beauty**
The most striking feature of Wat Arun is its central **prang** (tower), which stands at an impressive 79 meters tall, making it one of the tallest structures in Bangkok. The prang is intricately decorated with colorful porcelain tiles, seashells, and pieces of Chinese pottery, creating a dazzling effect that catches the light at different times of the day. The design represents Mount Meru, the center of the Buddhist cosmos, with smaller spires surrounding the central one, symbolizing various aspects of Buddhist cosmology.
Climbing the central prang is an experience in itself. Though the steps are steep and narrow, the effort is worth it for the incredible views at the top. From the summit, you get panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River, the surrounding temples, and the bustling city of Bangkok. On clear days, the sight is nothing short of breathtaking, and it provides an entirely new perspective on the city’s landscape.
In addition to the prang, there are several other smaller structures and shrines within the temple complex, each beautifully designed with intricate carvings, murals, and Buddha statues. The surrounding courtyards are peaceful and well-maintained, offering a tranquil retreat from the lively atmosphere of the city. The overall atmosphere of Wat Arun is one of calm reverence, and it provides a serene space for reflection and prayer.
**Experience and Atmosphere**
Visiting Wat Arun is a deeply spiritual experience, as it is still an active place of worship. Locals and tourists alike come here to pay respects, meditate, or simply admire the beauty of the temple. The temple’s riverside location adds to its allure. As you approach the temple by boat, crossing the river from the opposite bank, the sight of the towering prang against the sky is awe-inspiring.
When I visited, the temple was relatively calm, despite the usual crowds of tourists. The sounds of monks chanting and the faint smell of incense filled the air, enhancing the spiritual ambiance. The temple is especially beautiful at sunset, when the setting sun casts a golden glow over the prang, making it appear even more majestic.
**Conclusion**
In conclusion, Wat Arun is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Bangkok. Its stunning architecture, historical significance, and tranquil atmosphere make it one of the most memorable landmarks in the city. Whether you're interested in history, spirituality, or simply admiring beautiful architecture, Wat Arun offers a unique and enriching experience. The views, both from the temple itself and from the river, are some of the best in Bangkok, making it a highlight of any trip to this vibrant city. Wat Arun is a magnificent temple with large columns and intricate details and carvings. It was crowded with many tourists and visitors dressed in rented authentic Thai clothing for photo shoots. This unfortunately took away from the experience, however you can certainly still find a moment of peace here. You are able to climb the stairs to walk around the structure, however take care as the steps are steep. The building is beautifully lit during sunset and in the evenings! Please be respectful and wear proper clothing, although they did not seem to enforce the no shorts rule when I visited. Wat Arun is one if the Thailand's signature. We can go there by shuttle boat which only costs 5 baht. The entrance fees to Wat Arun is 200 baht for foreigners. We can rent Thai traditional costumes and photographers with reasonable price there. It is not as crowded as Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha and better to visit in early morning and evening.
Wat Arun represents rich culture of Thailand and it is a must to visit in Bangkok.Información de la atracción

Wat Arun (Wat Arun) se traduce del tailandés como “Templo del Amanecer”, y el mejor momento para visitarlo es por la mañana o al atardecer (cuando se pone el sol). Esto no se debe tanto a la apariencia del templo como al concepto arquitectónico. No hay casi sombra en el recinto del complejo, y durante el día puede hacer bastante calor.
El santuario está construido de forma que, en un día soleado, todo brilla (ayudado por la enorme cantidad de fragmentos de cerámica que adornan el templo). A veces es posible ver un espectáculo de luces, normalmente por la noche, cuando un viaje de un día está a punto de terminar.
Horario: 8:00–18:00
Precio de entrada: 50 baht.
Tiempo aproximado de visita: 2.5–3 horas
La Montaña Dorada (Wat Saket)
A hidden or not as well known attraction which is brilliant.
This is our second time and this is such a nice place to climb the stairs and see different views and levels.
The temples and Buddhas are great and I love the cave temple at the end personally.
It has so much going on around the mount too so has a buzzing atmosphere. Wat Saket, also known as the Golden Mount, is a must-visit destination in Bangkok, offering a serene atmosphere and stunning views of the city. The climb up the winding staircase is enjoyable, with calming bells, statues, and lush greenery along the way. At the top, the golden stupa shines brilliantly, and the panoramic view of Bangkok is breathtaking, especially during sunset. The temple’s historical significance and peaceful vibe make it a perfect spot for reflection and photography. A unique mix of culture, history, and natural beauty that should not be missed It is hardly likely a religious place but rather temple for tourism or tourist. Anyway, it is good place to feel the atmosphere of Buddism in Thai, also nice place to enjoy city view. Stairs are not difficult to climb. Total climbing time might be 5 minutes or so and the stairs itself are very low. Admit fee is 100 baht per 1 tourist, which is different from google maps. It’s a nice climb to the top, with more statues, water features and bells along the way. They sell water upstairs and have giant fans you can sit in front of if you’re feeling too warm. The view from the top is awesome!
They’re not too strict with the dress code, so shorts are okay (for guys at least) as long as they’re not too short. They sell the ever ubiquitous elephant print trousers there in case your clothes are deemed not appropriate.
It’s a bit of a walk from the nearest metro station. History of Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), Bangkok
Wat Saket, commonly known as the Golden Mount, is a revered temple and iconic landmark in Bangkok’s Phra Nakhon District. With its gleaming golden chedi perched atop an artificial hill, this temple offers a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, along with breathtaking panoramic views of old Bangkok.
History of Wat Saket
The origins of Wat Saket date back to the Ayutthaya period, but it gained prominence during the reign of King Rama I, who restored and renamed it. The temple was originally called “Wat Sakae” but was later renamed “Wat Saket” by King Rama I.
The Golden Mount was built during King Rama III’s reign when he ordered the construction of a large chedi. However, the soft soil in Bangkok caused the original structure to collapse. Later, during King Rama IV’s reign, the hill was reinforced, and King Rama V completed the construction of the golden chedi that remains today.
Inside the chedi lies a relic of the Buddha, brought from India, making it a sacred pilgrimage site for Thai Buddhists. The Golden Mount also served as a cremation site for plague victims in the 19th century, adding to its historical significance.
What to Expect
• Climb the Golden Mount:
To reach the golden chedi, visitors must climb a spiral staircase with 318 steps. Along the way, enjoy peaceful gardens, bell towers, and small shrines.
• Panoramic Views:
At the top, you’ll be rewarded with stunning 360-degree views of Bangkok’s old city, including landmarks like the Grand Palace and Wat Pho.
• Serene Atmosphere:
Despite being in the heart of Bangkok, Wat Saket offers a tranquil environment, making it an ideal place for reflection and meditation.
• Annual Fair:
The temple hosts a grand fair in November, coinciding with Loy Krathong. During this time, the Golden Mount is beautifully decorated, and the atmosphere is lively with food, performances, and merit-making activities.
Tips for Visiting
1. Opening Hours: The temple is open daily from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM.
2. Entrance Fee: 50 THB for foreigners; free for Thai citizens.
3. Dress Code: Modest attire is required. Avoid shorts and sleeveless tops.
4. Best Time to Visit: Visit early in the morning or late afternoon for cooler weather and fewer crowds.
Why Visit Wat Saket?
Wat Saket is a perfect blend of historical significance, cultural heritage, and peaceful ambiance. Its iconic golden chedi, rich history, and panoramic views make it one of Bangkok’s most treasured temples. Whether you’re seeking spiritual solace or simply looking to experience a unique aspect of the city, the Golden Mount is a must-visit destination.Información de la atracción

Wat Saket (Wat Saket), también llamado Templo de la Montaña Dorada, se encuentra en una altura y, antes de la construcción de rascacielos, se consideraba el punto más alto de la ciudad. Hay exactamente 320 escalones hasta la cima, pero no están dispuestos en una sola escalera continua; existen zonas especiales para descansar, ya que también vienen personas mayores al templo.
Visto desde lejos, Wat Saket parece una fortaleza blanca e inexpugnable (una colina rodeada de vegetación). Realmente hay mucha vegetación aquí.
En lo más alto, obtendrás una excelente panorámica de la ciudad y podrás sacar varias fotos o grabar un video para tu colección.

Templo del Buda de Oro (Wat Traimit)
Wat Traimit Withayaram temple will offer us the historical context, cultural insights,educational value, the multi-floor center presents a comprehensive narrative of the temple's significance within the Yoarawat community of Chinatown. The entrance fee is an additional 100 baht, that's well worth the cost the Temple of the Golden Buddha, is a revered Buddhist temple located in the heart of Bangkok's Chinatown. It is renowned for housing the world's largest solid gold Buddha statue, a magnificent testament to the country's rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted Buddhist faith. Walked to the temple from Chinatown. Impressive gold Buddha which you can view after buying a 100 Baht ticket and climbing several sets of stairs. There are quite a few rules you have to observe before and whilst viewing which are listed on signs in English (no shoes on, no video recording allowed etc.) It was quite nice to see people worshipping in front of the Buddha and it was only my self conscious self that stopped me from getting on the floor too. Besides the Buddha there are donation boxes and small gifts you can buy but be aware some are quite expensive like 800 THB which I think is £18 for a bracelet. There is a separate souvenir shop that has more reasonably priced items. I have marked this a 3, only because of one of the attendants where I viewed the Buddha. I didn't like the sense of being watched with suspicion and noticed that this person was treating all like that even though everyone was very respectful. Other than that this was a beautiful thing to do and on first sight of the Buddha I was overcome with a feeling of serenity. Pleasant Buddhist temple near to Bangkok city with 100 Baht entry fee. Most of the tourists are from foreign; not rush during the weekdays. Washroom facilities available. Parking may become problems during weekends. Place is maintained neatly A big temple complex that houses the golden Buddha. There are also 2 floors that are museums within the same main building.Información de la atracción

Asegúrate de visitar Wat Traimit, donde se guarda el Buda de Oro, aunque sea solo porque es la estatua más grande, pesada, ancha y alta de la deidad fundida en oro. Sí, has oído bien: es oro, no recubrimiento ni pintura. El templo en sí es relativamente pequeño, y su principal atractivo es precisamente esta figura.
Además de la estatua, aquí hay dos museos.
Para saber cómo llegar al templo y más detalles, lee nuestro artículo — Templo del Buda de Oro.
Horario: 8:00–17:00.
Precio de entrada: 40 baht.
Tiempo aproximado de visita: 1–1.5 horas.
Barrio Chino (Chinatown)
No muy lejos de Wat Traimit se encuentra Chinatown, también conocido como Chaina Town. Si nunca has estado en un Chinatown de otros países, te costará imaginar a qué se parece este lugar. Ninguna película puede transmitir la atmósfera real que se despliega aquí. Y si te toca coincidir con alguna festividad china, considérate afortunado. No verás semejante festín para los sentidos en ningún otro lugar (tal vez solo en la misma China).
Aquí hay muchísimas tiendas interesantes con sabor chino y lugares que piden a gritos ser fotografiados.
Aquí puedes comprar oro y joyas baratas, pero sé muy cuidadoso al escoger, porque, al fin y al cabo, ¡es Chinatown!
Parque Lumphini
There are no words to describe how much I love this park. My go-to for the runs as well as picnics and long walks. The abundance of nature, cats, and monitor lizards surrounding the park is a perfect combination to the busy streets of Bangkok. I love to see how people come together to exercise and share daily activities. Don't miss it when in Bangkok. Such an interesting park right in the middle of Bangkok! There were SO many big water monitors which was awesome. Through it is advised to not get too close to them because they are considered dangerous. There were also multiple bodies of water where you could rent fun paddle boats. Lots of people laying down for a nap in the grass. I tried that too. Would recommend 🙂 Very interesting, and almost a peaceful place in the middle of one of the overcrowded are in Bangkok.
The park is properly serviced, it offer good walking/jogging trail, with plenty of refreshments /goof outlets, and notable mobile - toilets 🤗
Lighting of the park is great, and Safety and Security is certainly assured by the clearly presence of the Thai police.
Very interesting place and worth visiting A good place to take a break from the business of Bangkok. Not really many unique activities to do within the park other than the very gentle and peaceful water monitor lizards. 30 minutes to 1 hour visit seems sufficient to get a view of the park Tired, needs updating and improving, but has a great running and cycling circuit. You can see Water Monitors un and around the lovely lakes. A welcome green space in Bangkok that could be better. A central cafe would be welcome. There seems to work happening, maybe this is the vision for the future.Información de la atracción

El Parque Lumphini (Lumpini) es exclusivamente para relajarse; también se le llama un oasis verde en medio de un desierto de concreto.
Realmente vale la pena venir aquí, aunque solo sea para ver los varanos y tortugas que habitan en el lago local.
Por la tarde, organizan bailes grupales a los que puede unirse cualquier transeúnte.
Si tienes un rato libre entre excursiones, puedes pasarte por esta isla de tranquilidad durante una hora. Si buscas completa soledad, alquila una barca; puedes navegar hasta el centro del estanque y quedarte allí hasta que se acabe tu tiempo, disfrutando de la belleza del parque.
Por cierto, aquí está totalmente prohibido fumar, tirar basura o pasear perros. La multa es enorme: 2,000 baht.

La Torre Baiyoke 2 (Baiyoke), a veces llamada Baiyok, es un rascacielos gigantesco de 302 metros de altura y un total de 84 pisos.
La forma más práctica de visitar esta torre, que ofrece una vista impresionante de la ciudad (y hasta del golfo de Siam con buen tiempo), es hospedarse en el hotel que se extiende desde el piso 22 al 74. En ese caso, podrías añadir uno o dos lugares más a tu lista corta.
Pero, claro, el costo de alojarse aquí no es precisamente económico; así que si no te alcanza para pasar la noche, puedes simplemente subir a la plataforma de observación durante una hora.
Entrada al mirador: 300 baht.
Horario: 10:00–22:30 (no se permite la entrada al mirador después de las 21:30).
Por cierto, si tienes hambre, puedes ir al restaurante local en el piso 76 o 78 y, en ese caso, el acceso a la plataforma de observación será gratuito.

Si dispones de tres días, además de las atracciones mencionadas, en el tercero te recomendamos visitar lo siguiente:

Acuario Siam Ocean World
Brings you to a totally new world!
Marine life has always fascinated me. I try to check out similar places of interest wherever I go. My favorite attractions here were the shark tank where you can view them overhead; provided seats or steps to better enjoy viewing the fish. It’s so relaxing to watch them swim to and fro!
There are recommended attractions for kids like the touching of starfish, DIY activity beside the penguin feeding area, the jellyfish area, etc.
Despite coming on a weekday at the opening hour, the place was filled quickly within the next hour. Couples, families, came to visit. Some small kids can get a bit rowdy-running and shouting so I think there should be some staff stationed at various areas to ensure safety at all times.
The place isn’t that big and can be explored less than an hour (as I did) but I went back to the start area and leisurely explored each attraction once more. I also watched the 4D movie, which was quite amazing! very beautiful, many species of marine life, children really enjoy it. The shark tunnel was the highlight of my visit. It felt like I was transported to a vast ocean when I walked through the transparent tunnel, surrounded by countless sharks of all sizes. The shimmering lights created a magical atmosphere, making me feel like I was swimming alongside these gigantic creatures.
recommended to book ticket via their website in advance to get more discount. This venue is located in the basement of Siam Paragon, I enjoyed every bit of my walking so recommend to come. The sea life inside is SUPER CUTE! It's an aquarium worth visiting, as if the ocean has been brought to the heart of the city. It’s a marvellous underwater world perfect for learning experiences. Children are thrilled by the aquatic creatures they encounter, with a wide variety of marine life, both familiar and unfamiliar. Unsurprisingly, most visitors are families bringing their little ones to explore. Tickets are available as annual passes or day passes. It’s recommended to buy them online for cheaper rates, and annual passes are even more cost-effective—visiting more than three times makes it well worth it! Visiting SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World was such a memorable experience! The aquarium is beautifully designed, with a stunning underwater tunnel that makes you feel completely immersed in marine life. The variety of creatures on display, from sharks to adorable penguins, was truly impressive. I also loved the interactive touch pools—it was a hit for kids and adults alike! While the tickets were a bit on the higher side, the quality and uniqueness of the exhibits made it worth every baht. A must-visit attraction in Bangkok! 🍎 Pay accepted. So happy I came to this place, great short activity within walking distance of CentralWorld. The employees are so nice and strive to make your experience alive and special. The park is special and they have really gone all out in curated worlds to fit the sea life.
The glass boat ride was an exciting revelation, it was fun to see the backgrounds of the aquarium and see what the tanks look like, behind the curtain experience plus a closer look of the sea life.
4D cinema was okay, more fun for kids, more back ache for …

Como el acuario está situado en el centro comercial Paragon (Paragon o Siamparagon), deberías aprovechar para visitar este enorme centro de entretenimiento.
Además del acuario, aquí hay un cine gigantesco, su propia galería de arte, bolera, karaoke y un sinfín de tiendas.
Lo ideal sería pasarte el día entero, pero si no te queda tiempo, intenta apretarlo en una o dos horas, ¡si te atreves!
Casa-Museo Jim Thompson
I visited the beautiful arena on a Friday afternoon. Our hotel was at a walking distance so we just crossed the Water Gate and reached with the help of Maps.
Straight we went to the ticket window and purchased along with an English guided tour. Each ticket costs 200 Baht irrespective of whether it is a guided tour or not. The tour was supposed to start 20 minutes later so we captured pictures and explored an in-house restaurant meanwhile. The guide came 2 minutes before the start time and she started explaining everything calmly and in detail. The tour lasted for ~40 minutes and we came back with so many great memories. One of the highlights of our Bangkok trip.
Guests are asked to choose which they’d want to visit-the house or the art exhibit area.
We opted for the house tour. Tours are offered in various languages-English, Mandarin, French, etc which runs for about 40-45 minutes. Big bags are requested to be kept in the locker(free of charge) while shoes are requested to be removed prior to entering the house.
The house is so full of surprises. Almost each nook and cranny has a story to tell.
It was a very educational experience as I imagined Jim’s passion for Thailand (and its silk)create a long lasting impact around the world.
Since Jim’s souvenir shop items are quite pricey, we opted to shop from a nearby shop also selling silk items among other things. We bought some items in support of the deaf merchant.
The museum is walking distance from The National Stadium station.
Highly recommended to visit! Amazing place with great history! Learn something about Thai architecture, culture, and soy mystery. Go early to enjoy some tranquility. If need to wait for your in your language, can spend time in their amazing store or get a nice drink or food. Restaurant quality is fantastic. Highly recommend! And try to come by the water bus on the canal to make your experience even more memorable! A very good tourist attraction, very historical and educational. We learned about the history of silk in Thailand, and how silk trade helped the economy. They also have a gift shop that has the best quality silk you can find in Bangkok. Also they have a restaurant inside that serves very good international and Thai food. A must visit when in Bangkok Thailand. Very famous tourist attraction in Bangkok. Entrance fee is 200 baht including a guided group tour in either English or French. Maybe other languages also but they didn’t ask me about that. You cannot walk around the house by yourself and you are now allowed to shoot videos inside also. The employees were very sweet and informative and the tour took about 30-40 minutes. It’s definitely worth the money spend and 1 hour here should be enough to see both the garden and the house and even have a refreshment at their restaurantInformación de la atracción

Una casa preciosa que no puedes visitar sin unirte a un grupo guiado. Aquí vivió un empresario expatriado que se dedicaba a la seda y estudió la cultura y el estilo de vida del sudeste asiático. Su colección de arte camboyano, birmano, laosiano, chino y tailandés, que reunió en los años 60 durante sus viajes, se exhibe en este lugar.
Existe un halo de misterio alrededor del museo porque su dueño desapareció en circunstancias inexplicables durante uno de sus viajes: un día no regresó y punto…

Wat Ratchanadda (Wat Ratchanadda o Ratcha)
Wat Ratchanadda
One of Bangkok's favorite temples. You can go up to the viewing platform for 20 baht and see a beautiful view of the city. The temple itself is interesting inside. Great place to go for a quick visit. There were a few people when we went there so it was pretty quiet and calm. Enjoy as it is without a "touristy" environment of stores, noise and many people. Recommend to visit this place. Inside you will exhibition with history. The most the thing that I like you can climb on the top. Pray on Buddhas relict of you want or just enjoy the view. Entrance donation fee is 20 bhat. Worth a visit. So glad I came to this temple complex!
Walk up a central spiral staircase to the top floor with 360 views of greater Bangkok. Many Buddha’s on display and placards with wisdom of Buddhist teachings.
Close to canal boat pier, queens art gallery, museums, fort and many other places to visit This temple is a hidden gem in Bangkok! Wat Ratchanatdaram has beautiful architecture, and its Loha Prasat (metal castle) is truly one-of-a-kind. Located at a busy intersection, it’s surprisingly peaceful inside and offers great views from the top. It’s not as crowded as other temples, so you can take your time appreciating the stunning details.

(naddaram o Ratchanatdaram) también se le llama “Templo de Hierro”, porque se construyó de hierro en honor a la princesa Wattanawadi. El templo es interesante por sus chapiteles inusuales que coronan el edificio principal. Hay 37 en total, cada uno simboliza una virtud que la persona debe alcanzar en el camino a la iluminación.

Wat Suthat
It is 100 baht per person for foreigners. It was definitely one of the biggest temple I saw in Bangkok.
There is a giant swing at the front which is a good photogenic spot. Just be respectful and mindful. I liked meditating in front of the big Buddha statue. Second temple of the day. This one requires visitors to purchase tickets. Bigger and much more majestic than Wat Ratchabophit, the three coloured scheme of the roof tiles will impress you. This temple allows photos in the inner sanctums but the same decorum of hushed conversations and appropriate dressing applies.
Plan to spend about 45 minutes to an hour. Wat Suthat is a must-visit in Bangkok! It’s one of Bangkok’s oldest and most revered royal temples. Known for its stunning architecture, intricate murals, and peaceful atmosphere, it houses the iconic Phra Si Sakayamuni Buddha and is steeped in history. Don’t miss the Giant Swing out front for an iconic photo spot. A serene escape in the heart of the city! Worth exploring. A lesser known temple to tourists, but very beautiful and less crowded. Have in mind - for all temples there is a dress code: no shorts or sleeveless shirts. stunning royal temple in Bangkok, known for its iconic Giant Swing and serene atmosphere. Built during the reign of King Rama I, it houses the impressive bronze Buddha image, Phra Sri Sakayamuni, surrounded by beautiful murals.

Wat Suthat (Wat Suthat) es un complejo de templos en cuyo interior hay 156 estatuas de la deidad budista principal. Todo el interior muestra cómo los budistas conciben la estructura del mundo que los rodea.
La característica principal de este complejo es la enorme hamaca roja. Antes existía una tradición donde los lugareños se mecían en ella y otros iban a mirar. Quien llegaba más alto recibía una bolsa de dinero. Sin embargo, debido a los frecuentes accidentes, se abolió la costumbre, y la hamaca quedó como recuerdo de antaño.
Horario: 8:30–21:00 (se puede acceder al wihan solo los fines de semana de 8:30 a 16:00).
Precio de entrada: bastante económico, solo 20 baht.
Tiempo aproximado de visita: 40–50 minutos.
Templo de Mármol (Wat Benchamabophit)
Beautiful and well kept temple in Bangkok. We visited around 11am so there are less tourists in the area. It was part of our Bangkok City Tour but it would be easy to just ride a Grab car and go there yourself. Wat Benchamabophit is also a must-visit in bkk. The temple isn’t crowded compared to other famous ones. The entrance fee is 100 baht.
The highlight is definitely the exquisite architecture. The marble exterior is stunning, and the design has intricate details. A nice and peaceful temple that's worth visiting. Not a long you can do inside, so 30 mins is sufficient if you are planning to visit. Not a lot of shade available, so come along with your hats. A nice little drink cart available on the other end. Overall, a nice place. Another beautiful temple in Bangkok Thailand. I believe the 5thb coin has the picture of the front of this temple on one side of the coin. The temple is very well kept and maintained. It's free to enter for Thai and it's open nice and early. Wat Benchamabophit is a prominent example of architectural sophistication, distinguished by a careful amalgamation of traditional Thai aesthetics and neoclassical elements. This temple exemplifies a rich confluence of stylistic influences, drawing from both European and Chinese architectural traditions, thereby underscoring the prevalent cultural exchanges during its construction.
The temple is primarily composed of high-quality Italian marble and showcases remarkable Carrara marble columns, recognized for their durability and aesthetic appeal. The expansive marble courtyard is designed to facilitate ceremonial activities, thereby enhancing the temple's function as a site for spiritual congregation.
The temple's architectural beauty is further accentuated by elaborate lacquered woodwork embellished with gold leaf details. Within the interior, a series of paintings depicting significant stupas contribute to the narrative of Buddhist architectural history.
The ambulatory cloister, which encircles the assembly hall, is adorned with 52 sculptures of the Buddha, each illustrating different aspects of his teachings. Central to the temple's sanctity is the ordination hall, or Bot, which houses the principal Buddha image, Phra Phuttha Chinnarat—widely regarded as an icon of profound reverence within Buddhist practice.Información de la atracción

Wat Benchamabophit, o Templo de Mármol, es único porque resulta inusual para Tailandia construir edificios con materiales costosos, menos aún de mármol. Todo este material se importó de Italia durante el reinado del rey Rama V. Por cierto, aquí también reposan las cenizas del monarca.
En los terrenos del templo se ubican varios pabellones y un estanque. Los tambores que verás se usan para convocar a las personas a la hora de comer o para otros propósitos.

Mansión Vimanmek
Arrived at the entrance on xx December 2017, but realised it has been "Closed for renovation since 21 July 2016" until further notice. I enjoyed my visit (22.11.15) I was a solo visitor and walked around on my own. I was left to wander at my own pace seeing all I wanted to see at my own pace.
Its nice and cool out side even though at the time it was 35c outside.
Lots to see inside and lots of history.
Once your past the bag search,putting your items into a locker and then shoes off and having your clothing checked ( you have to dress respectfully ) You enter.
Also note, no photography allowed. I've read some of the most recent reviews and I have to say that all staff we came in contact with appeared friendly. There were more tour groups than individuals so that something you may want to keep in mind.
The architecture of the building was pretty amazing. I wish we could of had full access to see all the grounds because from the inside it looked beautiful. I have to say if you don't take a tour you're going to be pretty clueless when walking from room to room. There isn't signage telling you the name of the room or what it's use was. There is signage explaining the many pictures hanging on the walls.
Finally, be sure to wear long pants when you make a visit. If you don't, you'll have to purchase a covering for 100 baht. They'll also make you lock up your camera or mobile phone in in one of the lockers. This used to be a spectacular example of Thai architecture. Unfortunately, the site is no longer accessible and the mansion has been pulled down. Security guards and police keep people away.
I have tried several times to update the status on googlemaps, however I keep getting the message, "Your edit couldn't be verified, so it won't be published." Perhaps if someone at google would LOOK at the map, they would see the mansion is no longer there. Recent newspaper articles have discussed this, as well, so the information can be easily verified if someone would just take the time. Absolutely breath taking.. the treasures inside are profoundly beautiful. I will never forget the beauty of that magnificent building and that amazing art. Staff were lovely and the audio guide was fantastic. A must see in BangkokInformación de la atracción

“Mansión Celestial”: esa es la traducción literal de Vimanmek del tailandés. Este edificio se construyó especialmente para el rey Rama I tras su visita a Europa. El monarca decidió que necesitaba una residencia de estilo europeo y la edificó con sus fondos personales.
Originalmente, la construcción se llevó a cabo en la isla de Si Chang, no muy lejos de Bangkok, pero en 1901 el palacio se desmontó y trasladó a Bangkok.
Aquí se instaló por primera vez electricidad y el primer calentador de agua de Tailandia.
La mansión alberga muchos objetos interesantes, incluidos retratos del emperador Nicolás II.

Ananta Samakhom
Ananta Samakhom Palace is the former throne hall of Dusit Palace, built in B.E. Prof. In 1908, during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), it took a total of 8 years to build, so it was completed during the reign of His Majesty King Rama VI.
Fourteen years ago, I had the incredible opportunity to explore the inside as they opened their doors for public visits. The palace's grandeur was evident in every corner, with its stunning Italian Renaissance architecture and intricate marble details. As I walked through the opulent halls, I was mesmerized by the exquisite murals that adorned the ceilings, each telling a story of Thailand's rich history and culture. The craftsmanship was extraordinary, showcasing the dedication and skill of the artisans who had worked tirelessly to bring the palace to life.
The throne room, with its majestic dome and ornate decorations, was particularly awe-inspiring. Standing in the midst of such historical splendor, I could almost feel the echoes of the past, the whispers of royal gatherings and important state affairs that once took place within these walls.
Exploring Ananta Samakhom Palace was not just a journey through a magnificent building, but also a profound connection to the heritage and legacy of Thailand. It remains a cherished memory, a testament to the timeless beauty and cultural significance that the palace holds for all who visit. Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall is a magnificent architectural masterpiece that stands as a testament to Thailand’s rich history and cultural heritage. The hall’s stunning neoclassical design, adorned with intricate frescoes and marble interiors, is truly awe-inspiring. Visitors are greeted with a sense of grandeur as they explore the beautifully decorated rooms and halls, each showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and artistry. The exhibits inside provide a fascinating glimpse into the country’s royal history and traditions. The well-maintained gardens surrounding the hall add to the overall charm, offering a peaceful setting for a leisurely stroll. The staff are knowledgeable and courteous, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply appreciate fine architecture, Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall is a must-visit destination in Bangkok. Not access to public

Museo Nacional de Bangkok
We loved visiting the museum. We spent upwards of half a day here browsing through the rooms. My partner loves museums and I especially loved knowing the history of different elements. Lots of places to sit down and rest, listen to performances, there's a nice restaurant to eat, and a lovely veranda for just soaking it all in. Definitely a must visit for Bangkok if you love history. Having travelled in many parts of the world, this is one of the most memorable and somehow impressive museums I have ever visited. The artefacts presented in this museum are rarely seen elsewhere in the world. They are so unique and so representative of the rich cultural heritage in East Asia that the museum is indeed a vital site of culture preservation. The place to experience history, creativity and aesthetic of Thai art as well as some other Asian countries. The museum has been renovated and reorganized. It is now very pleasant to walk around. New collections are on display now with concise description in both Thai and English. Spare enough time to ensure that you'll not miss anything. Wonderful museum with a great many exhibitions. You can spend all day here and, if you want to see as much as possible, I would recommend starting your day here. They exhibit Everything (yes everything, from tableware to chariots) from the Royal family, from prehistoric art up to the Ayutthaya and Bangkok period, and then also the art of the period of the Kings. The English displays are also outstanding, both in how much information they contain, the quality of that information and how well it is translated and presented. I would rate this as important as visiting the Grand Palace National museum is a must visit place in Bangkok to know the history tradition and heritage of the Thailand.
Not so crowded when I visit on a weekday at 11 in the morning.
Along with ticket you will receive a basic guide. Audio guide is also available through app.
The exhibits are curated beautifully through different periods

Un museo nacional es la carta de presentación de un país, y Bangkok no es la excepción. Este complejo no cuenta solo la historia de la ciudad, sino de todo el país. En términos generales, podría compararse con un museo regional europeo. El complejo está compuesto por varios edificios y salas, en las que se exponen objetos cotidianos y arte de Siam.
Horario: 9:00–16:00 (cierra lunes, martes y festivos)
Precio de entrada: 200 baht.
Tiempo aproximado de visita: 2.5–3 horas.
Museo de Barcazas Reales
The Royal Barges National Museum in Bangkok is a must-see for anyone interested in Thai history and craftsmanship. The museum houses a collection of ornately decorated barges used by the Thai royal family, each a masterpiece of intricate carvings and gold leaf. The highlight is the Suphannahong, a magnificent 46-meter barge with a mythical swan figurehead. It's a fascinating glimpse into Thai royal traditions. Impressive collection of barges - we were lucky as entry was free due to new year celebrations, but regardless, BTH100 as an entrance fee is reasonable. We tried to visit the Royal Barges Natuonel Museum today, Oct 25th 2024. We walked the long footpath to the museum. We arrived at about 4:10pm. They told us they were closing, which is earlier than posted on website, but allowed us to go in. We were extremely dissappointed a none of the boats shown, in fact no boats were on display that we could see. The place was empty.. If there are no boats, please post that on your website. Was a waste of our time. We took a boat and got down at the nearest pier and walkes around 950 meters to reach this place. It was all small alleys and the people were doing their daily stuff. It is an interesting walk and since Thai people are very nice, it is safe to walk in those alleys (it is an experience, alleys are probably 4 to 6 ft wide).
Once we reached this place, it is amazing. Not a very big museum with lots of displays. But worth visiting. If you take a private boat ride, then there is a stop here on the front side of it.
Very large boats used by royals, in good condition after a king restored it.
Restrooms are there and very clean. Location is not strategic, the path leads you to a long winding road. If you happen to take a Grab it will not drop you at the exact location. You will need to follow the sign and walk for a distance with small passageway to the exact spot. Just don’t get lost!

Otro lugar interesante, desde el punto de vista de valor histórico, es el Museo Nacional de Barcazas Reales. Solo se exhiben ocho embarcaciones, pero la más larga mide 46 metros.
Todas las embarcaciones están ricamente decoradas, pues se emplean para transportar a la familia real en ocasiones festivas. Sin embargo, en los últimos 60 años, solo se han utilizado 16 veces, así que casi es imposible verlas en acción, al menos puedes examinarlas de cerca.
Horario: 9:00–17:00.

Museo Erawan
We went there on a weekday and it wasn't packed, but I'm not sure if it would be on weekends. We walked in to buy tickets, but it's recommended to buy in advance if you plan to go on weekends. They do have audio guides to borrow, and inside, they sell fresh coconut water that's not expensive! You shouldn't wear sexy dresses or shorts that are too short, as they aren't allowed inside, but luckily, they do have sarongs to borrow. You just need to return them when you're done using them. Inside the building is really beautiful and not hot, with beautiful architecture. Thai people believe that passing under an elephant's belly will bring good luck, and my husband did that in the museum. Inside the museum is cool and shady, making it nice to stay for a while. They also have a waterfall, and it's not far from Bangkok! Visited February 2024
We purchased our tickets in advance from an agency called "Roadtrip Thailand" as part of a combo deal for the Erawan Museum and Ancient City. The process was smooth—we simply showed the paper at the ticketing office and went on our way.
It was hot during our visit, so I recommend bringing a hat, a fan, and a pair of sunglasses for comfort.
We started by walking around the main Elephant building before entering the iconic 3-headed Elephant building. We followed the stations as directed and explored inside. It was a unique and memorable experience that I’d definitely recommend to tourists! It's a small space consisting of a single building and a garden. On the lower floor, there’s a royal artifact exhibition room. It’s a great spot to take photos while wearing traditional clothing, which you can rent. The guard on the top floor was very kind. Went today and the museum it was very nice and plenty of this to see and learn. Many prayers spots too and instructions. If you want to wear more traditional outfits you can't rent them for 350 baht with 100 baht more for accessories. It's 200 baht for kids. The tickets for adults are 400 baht. In my photos I showed alot of the art and some of the pray spots in my photos and videos. The souvenirs shop right before entering has a lot of good souvenirs at a low cost most are below 150 baht. Plenty of magnets, bottles openers, hats. Somewhat divided place. It is something between amusement park, museum and a temple. Lot of creativity used when building the site. For example spoons and plates have been used to decorate the stairs. Still worth of visiting.
The grand finale is to climb the stairs all the way up inside the copper elephant where you can find temple.Información de la atracción

Visitar Tailandia sin conocer su cultura no está bien, según el fundador del Museo Erawan. Este complejo museístico se creó específicamente para presentar la historia y la cultura de Tailandia de una forma accesible al mundo occidental. También sirve para que la juventud local se familiarice con su propio patrimonio.
La fachada del museo es impresionante, porque tiene la forma de un monumento gigantesco de un elefante de tres cabezas.
En el interior hay tres niveles, cada uno dedicado a una época concreta.
La dirección del museo la encuentras en el mapa.

Centro de Arte y Cultura de Bangkok
If you’re looking to buy a souvenir from a local artist, this is definitely a good spot to visit.
I appreciated that entry to the art gallery was free because, honestly, if I had paid, I’d probably have asked for a refund. The majority of the art on display didn’t resonate with me at all—I didn’t find it visually appealing, thought-provoking, or even particularly interesting.
That said, the artists selling their work here seem to have done a much better job than those featured in the gallery. My experience here is amazing! The museum showcases a variety of art styles and artworks of different mediums ranging from political, contemporary, and children's arts. Every month they exhibit different artists' works that you can buy. Sometimes there are artworks made by disabled people you can buy, which goes to charity. so I recommend coming here since the entrance is free and it's easy to get here by car or train!
On the flip side, the souvenirs are overpriced and I recommend not buying them if you're here to just explore and find inspiration. I appreciated that there’s no entrance fee at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and you’re free to wander around all the floors, which makes it a nice, casual way to spend some time. The building reminded me of the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York, with its spiral design and open layout. I also liked that I could buy souvenirs and books on the first floor, which added to the experience. The art on display did not appeal to me. That said, there were one or two modern displays that made me stop and reflect. It’s worth a visit for the architecture, the variety of art styles, and the opportunity to shop for unique items, especially since it’s free. When visiting the Bangkok Art and Culture Center make sure to come in through the ground floor at street level to view the spectacular atrium. A world-class contemporary art facility, it is free admission.
The main exhibits start on the seventh floor and go up - it's easier to tour the galleries and then come back down the impressive spiral walk away. When you take the escalator up to the seventh floor take a left and enter through there. Then just take the elevator up to the ninth floor tour the remaining galleries and then walk down. 
Easily accessed from the National Stadium BTS - and adjacent to the MBK and Siam Complex of malls - this is one of my favorite detours. A lovely spot to spend a relaxing afternoon and admire people’s creativity. The building itself is architecturally interesting, there are Cafés and small stands selling a variety of different things (pottery, jewelry, stickers). The entrance was free of chargeInformación de la atracción

Esta es la calle central de Bangkok, llena de alojamientos baratos, salones de masaje, tiendas de souvenirs, etc. Puede compararse con Walking Street, pero no hay el mismo nivel de desenfreno que en Pattaya.
Mercado Chatuchak
This night market is a great spot for bargain hunters! They have a wide variety of cheap items to buy, from clothes and accessories to souvenirs and local goods. The prices are very reasonable, and you can even try haggling for a better deal.
The market also has a vibrant atmosphere with lots of food stalls offering delicious street food. It’s a fun place to explore and shop without breaking the bank. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for affordable finds! This is a market worth visiting... open only on Saturdays and Sundays, there is so much to see, buy, and eat. We even had a 45-minute foot massage after walking for hours. It was interesting looking at all the different pets for sale too. So much food was available the lowest price we have seen so far in Thailand.. and it was fresh, tasty, and decent portions. We didn't manage to see every stall, as the market is humongous. This vibrant marketplace is a treasure trove for the discerning shopper, offering a captivating array of goods that cater to every taste and style. From vintage finds to contemporary art, the market is a haven for those seeking unique and authentic pieces.
Lose yourself in the maze of stalls, where you'll discover an eclectic mix of clothing, bags, and accessories, each with its own story to tell. For the culinary enthusiast, the market boasts a selection of artisanal cooking utensils and ingredients that will inspire your next culinary adventure.
But the market's allure extends beyond its material offerings. It's a place where creativity thrives, and artists gather to share their passion and expertise. Engage in conversation with talented artisans, gaining insights into their creative processes and the inspiration behind their work.
The furniture section of the market is particularly impressive, showcasing a stunning range of designs, from classic to contemporary. While prices may be higher than at traditional retailers, the opportunity to discover unique pieces and connect with skilled artisans makes it a worthwhile investment. Many vendors are export-oriented, offering convenient shipping options for both individual items and bulk orders.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply seeking inspiration, this market is a must-visit destination. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere, explore the diverse offerings, and uncover hidden gems that will elevate your everyday life. Largest market in entire Thailand. Heaven for shopping - clothes, shoes, arts, plants, souvenir and what not. Best time to visit is definitely on weekends. Starts very early morning and goes till 10PM in the night.
It’s a massive stretch of over 35KM, so be prepared to walk and shop. And I found a lot of second hand things, so please be aware and shop for the best hunts. Pricing is just one part of it, you need to cross check its quality before any purchase.
Just done some window shopping and I was happy about it. Love the availability of food stalls, and plenty of options to look around.
Instead of buying souvenirs at the airport I would recommend picking up from here. So many stores! Prices are definitely lower here. My wife and kids had fun shopping(mostly clothes) while i enjoyed eating—most of the eating places are in the perimeter. This place can really get crowded and our driver advised us to keep our belongings safe.Información de la atracción

El principal Mercado Chatuchak de Bangkok es el más grande y barato de Tailandia. Aquí puedes comprar cualquier cosa a mitad de precio o incluso a un tercio que en otros lugares. Es un mercado peatonal muy grande, así que prepárate para dedicar al menos 4–5 horas en busca de algo especial.
Venden de todo, desde ropa hasta tierra para macetas. No tengas miedo de regatear (amablemente, con una sonrisa).
Horario: 7:00–18:00.
State Tower
One of the 3 tallest buildings in southeast Asia, it's a must see. Go to the top and look out, incredible views. Bangkok is a unique, beautiful, busy nightlife city. Coming from the desert, I love the gentle humidity. Nice place, but u must order a drink and its very expensive. I advise you to go to the 53 floor first, get a drink, finish it, take pics and then go to the 64th floor to sirocco, the best ever view. Its just a restaurant, they dont serve just drinks, u must order food. Which is very pricey. So go better to another bar for a drink and then just go sirocco for pictures.
Try to wear smth classy or glamarous, long dresses for women, classy pants and shirts for men would be best . Its kinda high class place, everyone will look at you, u will feel awkward if dressed sporty or too casual. So get ready well and enjoy your time amazing views and pictures.
The best time to go is for sunset. At night its so amazing there 😍 Amazing location and view of Bangkok city. The time is showing its lines after 25-30 years.
Never the less a Bangkok Icon, with an excellent highly instagrammable rooftop bar located near the Chao Phraya for easy river access. Crowded, overpriced, nice panorama.Información de la atracción

No es precisamente un restaurante económico en la azotea de la ciudad, ubicado en la State Tower, con varios cientos de metros de altura y un total de 68 pisos. Sí, es el restaurante más alto, aunque no el rascacielos más elevado, porque la plataforma de observación en Baiyoke es aún más alta.
Además del restaurante, la torre alberga oficinas, un hotel, apartamentos y condominios relativamente no muy caros (dependiendo de la perspectiva).

Janice is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond by helping me purchase shoes even after the store had closed. Her dedication to customer service is unmatched, and I’m so grateful for her assistance. Thank you, Janice, for making my experience exceptional! I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Janice at the Camper store, and I must say, she provided exceptional service. Janice was not only friendly and professional but also incredibly knowledgeable about the products. She took the time to understand my needs, offering personalized recommendations and ensuring I found the perfect pair of shoes. Her patience and attention to detail made the entire shopping experience enjoyable and stress-free. I truly appreciate her dedication to customer satisfaction and will definitely return to this store in the future. Thank you, Janice, for going above and beyond! I recently had a fantastic experience at the Camper store in Bangkok, all thanks to Janice! I was on the hunt for a specific pair of shoes that I couldn’t find in their central world location.

El Dusit Zoo (Dusit Zoo) es el parque zoológico más antiguo y grande de Tailandia. Ocupa 18 hectáreas, bastante menos que las 56 de Lumphini Park, pero aun así deleita a familias con niños y a amantes de los animales.
Muchos animales en Dusit viven en recintos abiertos, y a algunos incluso puedes tocarlos (incluso hipopótamos). Otros están en jaulas bastante estrechas, lo que no mejora la reputación del zoo.
Hay cafeterías baratas e incluso un 7-Eleven en el lugar. Puedes pasear y desconectarte del bullicio de la capital.
Horario: 8:00–18:00.
Precio del boleto: 150 baht, los niños entran gratis, si vas en coche son 50 baht. Si tienes licencia de conducir tailandesa, el boleto cuesta 100 baht.
Tiempo aproximado de visita: 3–4 horas.
Parque Muang Boran
Beautiful restored and ancient Thai monuments. So many places and temples to explore. Beautiful details and many hidden gems. We spent 5 hours exploring the ancient city on bikes and it was amazing.
There are food and drink options everywhere as well as toilet facilities.
Must see in Bangkok!! The Ancient City is a perfect day out and a truly unique experience in Bangkok. As the largest private outdoor museum in the world, spanning 315 acres, it replicates Thailand’s map, with each attraction located in its original region. While we didn’t dive deep into the stories behind each site, we thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking architecture and picturesque landscapes, which encapsulate Thai, Hindu, and Chinese myths, religions, philosophies, and cultures.
We rented a club car for 6 people for 3 hours, which was ideal for exploring such a vast area. The museum is incredibly well-serviced, with clean toilets, plenty of refreshment shops, and restaurants (the food was decent too). Along the way, we even got to see and feed elephants—though riding them is also an option (for a cost). Other animals, like chickens and buffalo, added a charming touch to the experience.
The sceneries are truly out of this world, making the Ancient City one of the most photogenic and Instagrammable places we visited in Bangkok. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy stunning sights, immerse themselves in Thailand’s culture, and capture amazing memories. Muangboran (Ancient City) in Bangkok is an extraordinary open-air museum, offering a full day of exploration through Thailand’s rich cultural history. Spanning over 300 acres, it recreates iconic landmarks and architecture from all regions of Thailand, like the Grand Palace, temples, and traditional villages. Each replica is beautifully detailed, giving visitors a sense of walking through the entire country in one place. You can bike or take a golf cart to explore, which makes it easy and fun. The grounds are well-maintained, and the experience is educational yet relaxing. Perfect for families, history lovers, and photographers alike! Visited February 2024
We purchased our tickets in advance through an agency called "Roadtrip Thailand" as part of a combo deal for the Erawan Museum and Ancient City. We arrived before lunch and enjoyed their lunch buffet, which was a great experience. The delicious Thai food was accompanied by live Thai instrumental music, making it even more special.
After lunch, we returned to the lobby to decide how to explore the largest outdoor museum. You have three options: bike, golf cart, or tram. Walking is not an option—the area is too vast. Even taking the tram, which visits selected areas, took us almost half a day. If you have a driver’s license, I highly recommend choosing the golf cart. Biking is an option if you don’t mind the blazing summer heat.
We chose the tram, but honestly, it felt rushed. We were only given about 30 minutes to explore each recommended area, and each spot was so beautiful that it felt impossible to take it all in. A tourist attraction spot that I would recommend to go. It’s a huge area but there are different transportation modes offered for those on free-&-easy; bicycle, buggy rental, or self drive with fee. Can be very hot so prepare sufficiently. I did not manage to cover the whole place though I arrived at Ancient City at about 9.45am and ended at about 3pm without lunch. So, I will be going back again.Información de la atracción

Este parque alberga réplicas de muchos monumentos del país. A menudo se le llama Ancient Siam, puesto que es un auténtico parque histórico (Mini Siam en Pattaya es solo una copia mucho más pequeña).
Si te quedan algunas horas de sobra, deberías visitar este parque. Podrás tomar fotos fantásticas con monumentos históricos a escala casi real. Es una gran opción tanto para adultos como para niños.
Abre todos los días de 9 a. m. a 7 p. m.

Parque Temático Safari World
Safari World is a must-visit destination for an unforgettable wildlife adventure! Get up close and personal with exotic animals, marvel at thrilling sea dog and dolphin shows, and witness live Hollywood stunts and James Bond-style action sequences. It's an absolute blast! Watch birds and animals in their natural habitats, and even get the chance to hand-feed giraffes and deer. Spot kangaroos hopping around, and create lasting memories with friends and family. Enjoy delicious food and drinks, and rest assured that the restrooms are clean and hygienic. With so much to see and do, Safari World is definitely worth spending a full day exploring! There are all together 7 shows in Marina park. The safari world is just the open zoo where you have to drive in either using your own car/coach or pay 100 baht to take their coach. If you want to complete all the shows, watch all the animals and take the safari world coach, you need to arrive the park by 9am, take the first coach then follow all the timing of the show.
Honestly I think that’s not a good idea, the entire crowds just moving from one show to another.
My kids enjoyed the shows especially the orangutan, elephant and dolphin shows. But I personally dislike the animal shows which they make jokes out of the animals. I think they should just show the intelligent part of the animals and remove all the jokes.
I think the cowboy stunt show can be missed. The sound effect is way too loud and not very interesting and you can’t understand their plots.
Same comment to spy war. And if you been to USS waterworld. The show is very similar ti that except it’s in Thai/Eng but I can’t understand the plot.
Maybe they should just focus on the animals and remove stunt show and cowboy shows. And tourist can enjoy the animals in a leisure pace.
Also, the map is not updated, multiple attractions were in construction. We had hard time to find the blossom restaurant (international buffet restaurant) too! Awesome place to spend a whole day. The safari is a great place to experience animals up close. Giraffe feeding station, dolphin show, sea lion show, orangutan show .. all were fun. There is a restaurant inside the safari world that serves good food. The best Zoo that we have visited so far. The size is so enormous and the cleanest surroundings I've seen for an animal park. The Safari Park would take you to the animal-paradise where you would see a mixture of wild animals and birds that includes: giraffes, zebras, buffalos, deer, Antelopes, assorted birds from Ostriches to Flamingoes...The fenced area is for: lions, tigers, Rhinos, Hippos, Bears etc.
The Jungle area is where caged animals are kept like: Iguanas, Birds, Orangutans, Monkeys, Anteaters, Camels, Elephants, Kangaroos, Capybara etc.
Marine species from Giant Fishes to Koi, Sealion, Dolphins etc.
Interaction and feeding of some animals are welcomed with minimal fees. Amazing close-up view of the animals within 2-5m. Bengal tigers, lions, rhinos, zebras and many more.

Parque de Atracciones Dream World
I had a great time here. I bought my tickets online so I saved a little bit of money. I went on a Friday. There were lots of students but they all left at around 3. No shows on weekdays, only weekends. Every ride was open. Everything looked well maintained. The international buffet was great for an additional 100 baht on the admission ticket. The go carts were my
favorite activity. Dream World is a fun place to visit near Bangkok, especially for families. We went on a weekday, and it wasn’t crowded at all, which made it even more enjoyable. The Adventure Park has plenty of exciting rides and attractions, and there’s something for kids of all ages. It’s a great spot to spend a day filled with fun and entertainment. Definitely worth a visit! 🎢✨ Gotta admit I was very sceptical about the high ratings for this amusement park. Couple of YouTube reviews and nagging child pushed us to give it a go. Was very pleasantly surprised. Got there on a Tuesday morning around 11am and it was fairly empty but quickly got busy with school kids (secondary/high school). All rides were fully operational, shows were off though. Food quality and prices were comparable to out of theme park prices which was a very welcome change (getting severely ripped off on food at amusement parks is a guaranteed in almost all theme parks). Rides were fun and appears to be well maintained. Very well staffed and the staff are friendly and polite. No pushy sales either. Easy to get to and back via Grab. Only negative is it can be quite far to travel. We bought discounted tickets via Pelago and it was unlimited rides. Went over to the information office to exchange of tickets and straight in with no wait. Purchased tickets on Klook in advance and received the tickets in the Information Counter near the entrance.
Overall I enjoyed this theme park as all the rides have relatively short queuing time and most of the rides have a DJ available doing a vibe check from time to time. The time for each ride is quite long, some lasted for 3 minutes up, one even lasted for a whole 5 minutes (yes I timed it and was amazed by how long the ride was).
I imagine it would be quite hot to wait under the sun so I would recommend coming on a cooler day.
Snacks are available with a very reasonable price. Toilets are very clean. It's not Disneyland or Universal Studios, but it's a great place to visit and have some fun weather you're 12 or 55, it doesn't matter. There are a lot of games to play, rides, and places to eat. A place for the whole family to enjoy.Información de la atracción

El Parque Dream World es la versión tailandesa de Disneyland. Olvídate de todo lo que hayas escuchado sobre parques de atracciones, porque después de visitar este, cualquier otro parecerá un rincón infantil de un centro comercial.
Un día en Dream World vale por tres en la playa. Y si tienes hijos, se volverán locos de alegría. Hay un montón de atracciones, zonas temáticas, estanques, etcétera: ven, no te arrepentirás.
Horario: de 10:00 a 17:00, y los fines de semana hasta las 19:00.
Precio de la entrada: 650 baht para el boleto estándar + 180 baht para la Snow Town.
Tiempo aproximado de visita: todo el día.
Así que, si estás cansado del mar (una afirmación algo polémica), coge tus maletas y lánzate a conquistar Bangkok con sus atracciones increíblemente interesantes. Realmente hay mucho que ver aquí.
No olvides compartir en los comentarios tus impresiones del viaje; son de gran ayuda para quienes aún no deciden dónde pasar sus vacaciones.
