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.

One of the oldest and largest temples in Bangkok features the famous Reclining Buddha, which is the largest in Thailand measuring more than 150 feet in length.
Most of the tour groups are taken directly to the Reclining Buddha and, yes, it is impressive and well worth seeing. However, the temple complex is extensive with lots of stupas, huge statues, little rockeries and tinkling fountains and by exploring more widely you will find shady corners for peace and contemplation. My favourite out of the 3 main places to visit in that part of Bangkok.

Yes, the temple itself is quite nice. And yes, the little museum you walk through to see all the amazing relics they unearthed while fixing the temple is very cool. And yes, the architecture of this place is pretty impressive. However, the real reason you HAVE to go here is to go to the little pond next door and feed the turtles. Honestly, that was SO much fun! I'm sure the little pond area has another name (or is part of some other temple), but it's right next door and so worth the $1 to get some cut up fruit to feed the turtles. Don't miss this!

An inspirational city located on the ground floor of ICONSIAM, mega-project, with a new concept of ‘co-creation’ between retail experience and cultural attraction that represents Thailand in a Day. Witness a million untold stories at SOOKSIAM and the charming DNA of Thai culture including Thai authentic foods, arts, handcrafts, and performances from all 77 provinces of Thailand in one destination.
Lovely space to eat and relax. Ground floor of iconsiam . Old style thai music and atmosphere . Excellent rainy day stop or mid river cruise day .

Lined with restaurants, Internet cafes and small shops, this is the main road that runs through the Bangkok neighborhood called Banglamphu.
There’s lots to do here. From stylish restaurants and art galleries, old fort, public park and easy access to the Chao Phraya River Express Boat. Great for a walk along in the daytime as the shops provide shade form the blistering sun. Find yourself a coffee shop with a view of the River. Lots of different restaurants from local Thai cuisine to Vietnamese and European food.

Easy accessible through river ferry, or grab a taxi from Bts Krungthonburi, temple is nice and quiet between the city among tourists crowd. nice amazing view from upper shrine, enjoy cool breeze and peace, the best part is giving bread and food to fish and pigeons, giving you a positive vibes, also for a small donation you can make free birds/ fish from cage. temple is nice with buddha and monk statues a must visit for a quick rejuvenate .
