The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Bangkok, Thailand

September 14, 2021 Malia Yoakum

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.

MOCA BANGKOK has been purposely built to showcase and exhibit the exceptional works of art collected over the past three decades by Boonchai Bencharongkul, whose passion for art runs deep. The museum is also intended as a tangible sign ofappreciation for the many great favours bestowed upon the Thai people by our beloved monarch, King Rama IX, and is dedicated to the honour of Professor Silpa Bhirasri, the “Father of Contemporary Art” in Thailand. MOCA BANGKOK displays works of art inspired by traditional Thai modes of expression alongside art that has been influenced by the introduction of Western artistic styles and techniques.

Moca is not on the list of most but it should be. Great museum opened in 2012 with great art that you probably have not been exposed to. Start at the top floor and work down. Even the viewing benches are works of art. Spent 3+ hours here and could have stayed longer. From downtown, take BTS to Mo Chit and then a short cab ride (about $4-5US). as its off the beaten path.

A very humble experience to watch muay thai fighters with so much passion and respect. A great atmosphere to experience part of Thai culture and how passionate Thai people are about the sport.

Spectacular 3D art at every corner and very photogenic spot to visit! 400 baht might seem like a lot but for 2-3 hours in such an artistic corner of Bangkok I'd say it was worth it. Definitely wear pants to enjoy posing as there is a lot of moving, lying down and funny pictures to be taken. We wore dresses and it wasn't as comfortable as we imagined. Bring a camera and try to go as 3 or more people, as some spots are great for 2-person or group shots. Wear easy to take off shoes as this is a barefoot museum. It was quite the trek from Sukhumvit but very easy to reach, just take the MRT and you will land right at Esplanade Mall.

Khlong Bang Luang Artist House

Reviewed By Delomo - Townsville, Australia

This was our second time at Khlong Bang Luang Artist House. The first time 2 years ago we missed the puppet show. This time we were in luck. The puppets came to life through the skill of the puppeteers, all masked and dressed in black. After the performance the puppets engaged with their audience. Our granddaughter and other children were engaged by the puppets for hugs and fun. Such a special experience in Bangkok.. The Artist's house is wonderful to visit, a cool spot on the klong. It's delightful to see the timber houses on stilts and the passing boat traffic and watch it all from the verandah of the coffee shop. I have no hesitation in recommending this as part of a visit to Bangkok, a must see.
