What to do and see in Downtown Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Sights & Landmarks

November 10, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

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 Pathum Wanaram

Reviewed By leo001 - Krabi Province, Thailand

Close to the shopping district, it gives an amazing contrast of the peace and quiet provided by the temple with the high-rise buildings that surround it. It's very peaceful and we were the only tourists there when we visited. It has meditation halls and a beautiful main temple.

Nai Lert Park Heritage Home

Reviewed By aandlkch - Kuching, Malaysia

We were fortunate to be in Bangkok at the time of the Nai Lert Flower and Garden Art Fair and were there on the first of the 4 days. It was all quite stunning and we would really describe much of it as floral art installations, which were set out variously around the park amidst the park's natural and permanent landscaping. The most amazing display was the chandeliers competition entries in the glasshouse - mind-blowing. There are also craft and food stalls, and a visit around the Heritage Home was included in the ticket price (150 THB). This is an annual event and we certainly recommend it for February 2020.

Erawan Shrine (Thao Mahaprom Shrine)

A little slice of calm in the center of town, this Hindu shrine is situated on a busy junction. Always teeming with worshippers, it’s a photogenic spot where incense constantly burns and traditional Thai dancers in full costume are often found.

Reviewed By PaulandSu - Hua Hin, Thailand

A very popular place to worship for both Thai's and overseas visitors... very colourful and smells of the incense sticks. This is a must visit place if your in Bangkok even if your not that religious as you can get some nice colourful photos.
