10 Architectural Buildings in Bangkok That You Shouldn't Miss

May 19, 2022 Nicolette Lion

Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

Phra Si Ratana Chedi

Reviewed By Erindel66 - Vilanova i la Geltru, Spain

This wonderful golden stupa or chedi belongs to the Emerald Buda Temple in the Royal Palace. Situated on the west end of the upper terrace. Built by Rama IV in the middle of the 19th century- It reminds of the ancient pagodas of Ayutthaya.. The chedi is covered with small gold mirrored tiles, making it a bit shinier than other pagodas that are just painted with gold. It houses a piece of the Buddha's breastbone.

Lhong 1919

Reviewed By dannyrob345

A Thai friend recommended me to visit this place since I was on a hop on hop off boat tour. It's worth it! Unique Chinese architectures and many restaurants and cafes in there including some shops if you feel like picking up somethings as souvenir. A nice calm place which will give you a really nice scene for Instagram for sure. Highly recommended if you want to go somewhere besides the usual tourist traps.

A lot of security at the entrance, the elevator is sensational, super fast and with animations, another show. The view is beautiful, see the whole city of Bangkok in 360 degrees, a very good experience The glass floor is crazy, providing a magnificent view as well. Bar, restaurant prices are high but well you would not expect anything else either. Enjoy the view, have a cocktail and relax, ah and go early to avoid the crowds and be able to walk more easily.
