The 10 Best Things to do in Pathum Wan, 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.

Close to the shopping district, it gives an amazing contrast of the peace and quiet provided by the temple with the high-rise buildings that surround it. It's very peaceful and we were the only tourists there when we visited. It has meditation halls and a beautiful main temple.

8. MRT
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,840 reviews
Reviewed By bob2bkk - Bangkok, Thailand
There are two main transportation systems in Bangkok, other than taxis and busses. The BTS Skytrain, like the name implies, above ground and the MRT, which is the subway. The MRT is by far, hands down the more efficient and better managed company of the two. Unfortunately for tourists, the BTS takes you thru the center of the city. The MRT circles around from Hua Lampong train station to Chatujack weekend market. MRT offers monthly passes, senior and student tickets. No senior tickets at BTS. The MRT has escalators from train platform to ticket counter to street. The BTS, was just forced to put in elevators and some stations do not have them at all. The MRT will be your best option if it takes you close to where you need to be, ex. work or school. It also brings you close to Thailand Cultural Center and right to the door of the Queen Sirikit Convention Center. Plan on very cold air conditioned trains.
9. YELO House

YELO House is a creative space located in the city centre. Just a short walk from Siam, MBK, Bangkok Art & Cultural Centre and Jim Thompson Museum. This converted warehouse has art gallery, workshop space, offices, retail units and restaurant & cafe overlooking San Saep Canal.

10. Nai Lert Park Heritage Home
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
Reviewed By aandlkch - Kuching, Malaysia
We were fortunate to be in Bangkok at the time of the Nai Lert Flower and Garden Art Fair and were there on the first of the 4 days. It was all quite stunning and we would really describe much of it as floral art installations, which were set out variously around the park amidst the park's natural and permanent landscaping. The most amazing display was the chandeliers competition entries in the glasshouse - mind-blowing. There are also craft and food stalls, and a visit around the Heritage Home was included in the ticket price (150 THB). This is an annual event and we certainly recommend it for February 2020.
