10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Rattanakosin (Bangkok Old City) That You Shouldn't Miss

May 22, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

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.

Wat Phra Chetuphon

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.

2. Wat Ratchanatdaram Woravihara (Loha Prasat)

Wat Ratchanatdaram Woravihara (Loha Prasat)

The Loha Prasat is an amazing building with an iron roof made of 37 spires signifying the 37 enlightenment virtues of Buddhism.

Free from the pulsating crowds that gather by Wat Arun and The Grand Palace, yet just as exquisite and well worth your time. Combine it with the nearby and equally underappreciated Golden Mount for a great morning or afternoon in Bangkok!

Phra Athit Road

Lined with restaurants, Internet cafes and small shops, this is the main road that runs through the Bangkok neighborhood called Banglamphu.

Reviewed By Travelling_SE_Asia - St. Albans, United Kingdom

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.
