Things to do in Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Architectural Buildings

January 1, 2022 Natalie Tallman

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.

Phra Si Ratana Chedi

Reviewed By Erindel66 - Vilanova i la Geltru, Spain

This wonderful golden stupa or chedi belongs to the Emerald Buda Temple in the Royal Palace. Situated on the west end of the upper terrace. Built by Rama IV in the middle of the 19th century- It reminds of the ancient pagodas of Ayutthaya.. The chedi is covered with small gold mirrored tiles, making it a bit shinier than other pagodas that are just painted with gold. It houses a piece of the Buddha's breastbone.
