The 10 Best Things to do in Bang Rak, Thailand
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.

2. Patpong Museum

And you thought Patpong was only about Go-Go bars and shopping? The mythos of this little street in Bangkok has developed over a hundred years, morphing from a rice paddy to the entertainment district of today, with its Go-Go bars, Ping Pong shows and ladyboys. The CIA set up shop there, and David Bowie as well as a lot of other celebrities explored these streets. The Patpong museum provides you with a rich, detailed view of the history, offering exhibits as well as multi-media, interactive games and re-enacted shows. History can and should be fun as well!

Great history of how Patong was created and evolved. Andrea gave us a great tour with lots of interesting info. Highly recommended if you have seen enough ping pong balls fired at you.
3. Lumpini Park

This is the largest and oldest park in the city.
Reviewed By CoffeeChill - Sunshine Coast, Australia
Lumphini Park is an icon of Bangkok tourism, a green oasis in a concrete jungle. You can spend quite some circumnavigating the full circuit of the park, which runs for several kilometres. Along the way, there is an abundance of flora and fauna to observe, including the stars of the show, the water monitor lizards. These impressive reptilians sit at the top of the food chain here. They are wonderful to check out whilst on; walkabout, cycling, jogging and or working out (there is free gym equipment), in this active, urban ecosystem. Fun for all ages and a place that provides soothing water views and breezes, I will hope look forward to visiting Lumphini Park again, soon.

This is one of the many night markets in bangkok city. The attraction is good to be listed for those staying in Silom area as alternative to the famous night markets in Bangkok.

Ate here several times during our stay in Bangkok, it’s well worth looking for the indoor street food stalls, look for lots of tables in rows with blue plastic table cloths, lots of Thai people eat here which is a really good sign. If you are new to a Thai street food don’t be put off by the basic nature of the surroundings; the stalls have pictures and they mainly have the title of the dish in English, but you can just point at the picture of what you fancy, the stall holder will advise if you need rice as a side dish, but you always check. Most of the stall holders we went to spoke enough English to tell you if the dish was hot or not hot. All the stalls we tried were great, but at the end furthest from the main entrance there was a lovely family stall where the lady wears an apron and chefs cap style hat! We went to her stall twice at the start of our two week visit in Thailand, and she remembered us when we returned on our last day, greeting us like old friends! You can sit anywhere so it’s ok to get different food from different stalls, you can take your own water with you from the supermarket, or you can get beer, fresh coconut and some soft drinks from stalls near the entrance of the market! Would highly recommend it!

I am glad that i made a trip to visit this Catholic Church as it was very beautful. I was disappointed that it was under renovation and had to wait at least two years to be ready. But my wait was worth it! Hee... The architecture was so European. Felt like I was in Europe. Said a little prayer and bought some holy devotional items from the Catholic Bookshop next door to remember my memorable church visit. Next time, will try to attend their English mass.
7. Songkran Festival Silom
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 87 reviews
Songkran is Thailand's most important public holiday and celebrates their traditional new year. Silom sees possibly the biggest Bangkok crowd line the streets with water pistols and powder, ready to wash away the sins of the past year and party in true Thai style. There is no escape from getting drenched in the water fight if you are anywhere along the 5km stretch of party zone that is Silom, but the BTS skywalk is a good place to go to get a good view of the festivities and hide in relative safety. When you are ready to get back into the thick of it, walk down to the busy streets, grab a beer from one of the stalls on the side of the road and carry on partying. Be careful not to carry any valuables that can't take a soaking.

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.
