Things to do in Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Sights & Landmarks

December 12, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

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.

Assumption Cathedral

Reviewed By JoanW187 - Singapore, Singapore

I am glad that i made a trip to visit this Catholic Church as it was very beautful. I was disappointed that it was under renovation and had to wait at least two years to be ready. But my wait was worth it! Hee... The architecture was so European. Felt like I was in Europe. Said a little prayer and bought some holy devotional items from the Catholic Bookshop next door to remember my memorable church visit. Next time, will try to attend their English mass.

A lot of security at the entrance, the elevator is sensational, super fast and with animations, another show. The view is beautiful, see the whole city of Bangkok in 360 degrees, a very good experience The glass floor is crazy, providing a magnificent view as well. Bar, restaurant prices are high but well you would not expect anything else either. Enjoy the view, have a cocktail and relax, ah and go early to avoid the crowds and be able to walk more easily.
