Bangkok, which has received the title of a kind of gateway to Southeast Asia, is a city where you can have a very interesting time. The capital of Thailand attracts tourists with a special Asian atmosphere, and there are many sights of a diverse nature. We will talk about the most iconic, world-famous places - those that you need to see in Bangkok in the first place, and you can see them on your own.

Since this metropolis has a rather large scale, while getting to know it, it will sometimes be relevant and hiking, but mostly you have to drive public transport or by taxi. By the way, in a taxi, even before the start of the trip, you need to agree with the driver that the payment will be according to the meter - this turns out to be much cheaper than the fixed price.

Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew

Royal Palace and Wat Phrakew is a complex attraction open to the public.



In the Grand Palace, which has served as the residence of the kings of Thailand since the 18th century, solemn state receptions and ceremonies are still held.

Wat Phrakew, which is also known as a temple emerald buddha, is not only a famous attraction among the guests of Bangkok, but also a place of pilgrimage for all Buddhists.

Wat Pho Temple

This shrine, often referred to as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is located near the complex of buildings Grand Palace. Walking around this oldest temple in Bangkok and one of the largest in Thailand, you can see 1000 images of the Buddha. But the most impressive sight is the statue of Buddha, depicting him lying and waiting for the indulgence of nirvana. This huge gilded figure, decorated with pearls and mother-of-pearl, is perhaps the largest Buddha sculpture in the world: its length is 46 meters and its height is 15 meters.



More interesting information about this shrine, which will definitely push you to explore it on your own, can be found.

Wat Suthat Temple and Giant Swing

This religious site is located at: Bamrung Mueang Road, Bangkok 10200. The Bangkok sightseeing map clearly shows that the building is in close proximity to Wat Phrakew and Wat Pho. It is worth considering this when planning to make an independent visit to these places.


Wat Suthat Temple is largely known for the famous Giant Swing (Sauchinga), standing on the square in front of its entrance. It's unusual place of worship It has the shape of the letter "P": on top of two wooden columns 21 meters high, there is a crossbar decorated with openwork carvings. In the past, when they held a ceremony of gratitude to Shiva for the harvest of rice, a bag filled with silver coins was tied to the crossbar. On the same crossbar, ropes were tied, swinging on which the volunteers tried to get a valuable bag on their own. In 1932, local authorities banned such a ceremony due to the high traumatism of the participants, and the Swing was converted into a symbolic monument.



But Wat Suthat is also interesting besides the Swings. The walls inside the central pavilion (vihan) are covered with original paintings from the early 19th century. In the central part of the vihan there is a bronze statue of Buddha 8 meters high, and along the entire perimeter of the outer walls of the courtyard there are 156 gilded figures of the deity.

  • Giant Swings can be seen at any time. Wat Suthat is open every day from 8:30 to 21:00, but you can enter the wihan from 9:00 to 17:00.
  • As a rule, there is no influx of tourists here. Thanks to this, it is very convenient to come to this sight of Bangkok on your own in order to touch the shrines of Buddhism in peace and tranquility.
  • Entrance is only 20 baht.

In the Chinatown area, near the Central Railway Station, there is another famous attraction - the Temple of the Golden Buddha, or Wat Trai Mit.


The Temple of the Golden Buddha was listed in the Guinness Book of Records after it was recognized as the most expensive religious object. This is not surprising, because in this shrine there is a figure of Buddha made of gold. Its weight is about 5.5 tons, and its height is about 2.5 meters. The whites of the eyes of the Golden Buddha are made of pearls, and the pupils are made of black Thai sapphires. According to the Americans who estimated this statue, its cost is about $250,000,000. But it should be noted that no one checked the purity and quality of gold. Also no reliable information as to whether the statue is really entirely made of gold.


The Buddha statue, created back in the 13th-14th centuries from a single piece of gold, was covered with plaster during the Burmese war and decorated with fragments of colored glass so that it would not attract too much attention from enemies. When a new religious building was erected in Bangkok in 1957, it was decided to install an old statue brought from the north of the country. During transportation, part of the plaster broke off, thanks to which a treasure was discovered, which can still be viewed at Wat Trai Mit.


  • Address: 661 Chaoren Krung Road | Talad Noi, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100.
  • This religious landmark of Bangkok is quite possible to see on your own. It is open for visits daily from 8:00 to 17:00.
  • The entry fee for the Buddha statue hall alone is 40 baht. By paying 100 baht, you can also see the exhibits of the museum, located on the floor below.
  • Video filming is prohibited inside the building, but photographs are allowed.

The Temple of the Golden Mount is located in the eastern part of the Old City, between Boriphat Road and Lan Luang Road.


The best way to get to this attraction on your own - order a taxi directly from the hotel. You won’t be able to get here by metro, but you can use city buses No. 8, 15, 37, 47, 49 - the fare will be different, it depends on the category of the bus and on the distance of the trip.

Until skyscrapers began to be built in Bangkok, this iconic building remained the most high point on the east bank of the Chao Phraya river. First, an artificial hill was poured here, and a temple was already built on it with a gilded pagoda crowning it - their total height is 76 meters.


To get to the top of the hill, you need to climb a wide spiral staircase of 320 steps. The ascent is not difficult, as the slope is small and there are comfortable benches for rest along the way.

The interior of the shrine is quite simple, the main decorations are sculptures of Buddha in various poses. In the back corner of the room is a narrow staircase leading to the roof. The first thing you notice when you get there is a large pagoda covered with a myriad of golden mosaic tiles.


Around the structure, however, as well as along the entire ascent, huge gongs and bells are installed. You can, and even need to call them yourself, because it is believed that this attracts good luck. And you can also just rub the gong with your hand - if you do it right, it will emit an even beautiful rumble, which is considered a sign of purity of the soul!


On the top floor of Wat Saket, where the gilded pagoda is located, there is an observation platform. It offers a surreal circular landscape and a panoramic view of Bangkok.

  • The exact address: 344 Chakkraphat Diphong Road | Prap Sattru Phai Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Bangkok 10100.
  • You can climb the Golden Mountain any day from 07:30 to 17:30.
  • Entrance to the territory is free, but in order to enter the building, climb to the pagoda and to the observation deck, before starting the ascent, you must make a donation in the amount of 50 baht. By the way, you do not need to take off your shoes here, as is customary to do when entering all sacred places.

Experienced tourists recommend making an independent trip to the Golden Mountain in November. Loykrathong is celebrated every year in this month in Thailand, so in 2 days in Bangkok there is something to see even more than usual. During the Thai holiday, Wat Saket hosts a large-scale week-long fair, which begins with a spectacular candlelight procession from the base of the hill to its top.

The Temple of Dawn or Morning Dawn is one of the first places among all 31,200 Buddhist places of worship in Thailand in terms of its significance and beauty. It is definitely worth seeing it, especially since it is quite possible to do it on your own, without a guide.



On the territory of this religious complex, there are many sky-high pagodas, the most famous of which is Pha Bang, 79 meters high. It is decorated with rich carvings, inlaid with pieces of colored glass and porcelain, sea shells and mirrors. At the corners of Prha Bang are four smaller pagodas, and in the niches are mounted statues of Vayu (wind god). At the very foot of Prha Bang, various statues are placed: the traditionally seated Buddha, animal figures, exotic deities.



Quite steep steps lead to the top of the central pagoda, where an observation platform is equipped, from each of its sides. The climb, although not easy, but the efforts made are fully paid off by the opening views of the immediate surroundings, the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok.



  • The attraction is located opposite the Grand Palace, on the opposite bank of the Chao Phraya River, along address: 34 Wang Doem Road | Wat Arun, Bang Kok Yai, Bangkok 10600.
  • Wat Arun is open for visits every day from 9:00 to 17:00, but it is best to come to the opening or around 16:00. At this time, there are not too many tourists, so it will be possible to calmly see everything, not to push in line at the stairs to the observation deck and on the platform itself.
  • Entrance to the territory of this religious attraction is free, but to enter the Prha Bang pagoda and climb to its roof, you need to pay 50 baht.

In the capital of Thailand, you can always deviate from the standard tourist routes and go to such attractions that not every tourist knows about. How many travelers know that in Bangkok you can see the Museum of Contemporary Art on your own? Unfortunately, not even all local taxi drivers know about its existence. And you can get to this city attraction on your own only by taxi. Therefore, when taking a taxi, you need to call the museum and give the phone to the taxi driver so that the museum staff will explain the way to him.


The Museum of Contemporary Art building itself is an architectural masterpiece, and on six floors there are interesting and diverse expositions: sculptures, paintings, installations (it is clear that there are no world masterpieces here). All these fascinating exhibits reflect the worldview of the Thai people, tell about their life and traditions. In the halls, you can take pictures yourself, but only without a flash.


There is also a shop that offers a variety of products: fridge magnets, picture prints, postcards, photos of Bangkok sights with descriptions.


  • The museum is located near Don Muanaga Airport, at 499, Kamphaengpet 6th Road | Lad Yao, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900.
  • Tickets to the museum cost 250 baht, 100 baht for students, while children under 13 and people over the age of 60 can enter for free. Together with the ticket, a card is issued, and large bags are accepted for storage.
  • You can view works of contemporary Thai art on any day except Monday: from Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 to 17:00, and on Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00.

In Bangkok, there is something to see for families with children, because this city offers a wide variety of destinations for recreation. For children in the capital of Thailand, all kinds of amusement parks are organized, exhibition halls, there are even specific attraction museums, for example, a museum of 3D paintings. It occupies the top floors of the Esplanade shopping mall, next to the Thailand Cultural Center MRT station.



The Art in Paradise interactive museum offers 5,800 m² of entertainment and educational activities for visitors of all ages. It consists of many halls with various forms of 3D painting, including themed halls decorated undersea world, dinosaur world, Egypt, waterfalls, famous landmarks of the world, etc. In reality, the paintings look "flat", but the point is that the guests must take a certain place in this picture, and the photographer must take them from a certain point marked on the floor. In some places, you have to look for this point on your own. As a result, the photographs are voluminous and bright.

Visiting this attraction alone is not very convenient, although it is also possible if you bring a camera with a tripod. However, it is still better to come with a company.



  • Address: 99 Esplanade Shopping Mall, 4th Floor | Ratchadapisek Road, Din Daeng, Din Daeng, Bangkok 10400.
  • Art in Paradise is open to visitors daily from 10:00 to 22:00, but it is advisable to be here by the opening, as the number of visitors is the least in the morning hours. This is important because groups of tourists create huge queues at each exhibition, which often makes it difficult to get in the right position for a good shot.
  • At the entrance, you need to take off your shoes and hand them over to the storage room: the museum is very clean, everyone walks barefoot or in socks.
  • Entrance ticket for adults costs 400 baht, for children - 250 baht.

Many travelers know that Bangkok has the largest oceanarium in Asia (its area is 10,000 m²). It is better to come here on your own in order to have a margin of time and calmly see all the inhabitants.



Siam Ocean World is divided into 7 unique themed locations, and over 30,000 fish and aquatic mammals live in huge and very small aquariums.

Before you go on an excursion to Siam Ocean World on your own, it makes sense to learn as much as possible about this attraction,.

Even being in Bangkok for only 2 days, it makes sense to see such an attraction as Snake Farm on your own. During a trip to snake farm you can watch an interesting show with snakes, try dishes prepared from snake meat, and also buy preparations made on the basis of snake venom or fat.



On the territory of the farm, right on the street, there are enclosures in which snakes live. Sometimes they hide under rocks and you can't see them at all. And sometimes these cold-blooded ones can be perfectly seen, and they also try to make out those who look at them - rather creepy, but interesting.

Terrariums are also located indoors, but almost all the snakes contained in them are in the city's Dusit Zoo.

On the second floor, you can see a really interesting exhibition: a collection of snake skeletons, embalmed embryos, snake eggs, a sectional view of the torso of a huge python (you can see the internal structure in detail). Visitors are shown videos about the anatomy and reproduction of snakes, as well as how to provide first aid for snake bites.



From Monday to Friday at Snake Farm you can watch the procedure for extracting venom from snakes and a 30-minute show with different types of cold-blooded animals. During the show, the zia are carried out one at a time, some are simply held in their arms, and some are teased with their hands or feet. All these actions are accompanied by stories and comments on English language. It should be noted that the schedule of these two events is not very convenient: the poison is removed at 11:00, and the performance takes place at 14:30 - if you want to see both, then you have to wait quite a long time.



  • Snake Farm is open to visitors all days of the week: Monday to Friday from 9:30 to 15:30, and on Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 to 13:00.
  • Admission for adults 200 baht, for children - 50 baht.
  • This attraction located in Bangkok at: 1871 Rama IV Road | Phathumwan, 10330.

Close to Silom metro station ( address: Rama 4 Road | Wangmai, Pathumwan) is Lumpini Park. It is open to everyone every day from early morning until sunset, and admission is completely free.


Lumpini Park occupies a vast territory in the heart of the metropolis. It is very beautiful thanks to perfectly manicured lawns and small ponds where you can go boating. Lumpini also has several playgrounds for children.

Residents of Bangkok come to the park en masse to play sports: early in the morning and after lunch, group classes are held here, in the evenings - jogging, fitness, aerobics. But even during these hours you can always find places for secluded relaxation.


In the morning, monitor lizards bask in the sun near the reservoirs of the park. If you do not disturb these animals and behave quietly, they calmly pose in front of the cameras of tourists. Large turtles are also found in the local ponds.

Observation deck at Baiyoke Sky

Baiyoke Sky is a famous landmark in Bangkok and Thailand, because this building is the tallest in the country. The height of the skyscraper is 305 meters.


You can find out how you can get to Baiyoke Sky on your own, how much it costs to climb the site and when is the best time to do it.

They offer delicious Thai food, fresh seafood cafes, live music bars.



Ratchada market prices are low. Crowds of people, and mostly this locals. There are not so many tourists walking among the malls on their own.

  • You can find the night market at this address: next to Ratchada Criminal Court, Ratchadapisek Road, Bangkok.
  • It works from Thursday to Sunday inclusive, from 17:00 to 01:00.
Khao San Street

Although Khao San Street is considered a landmark of Bangkok, it is unlikely that it will ever add to the UNESCO list. To be precise, Khao San is a colorful hangout place where Thai transvestites and prostitutes, as well as backpackers who came to Taiwan, gather.



There are many cheap hotels, Thai food in carts, souvenirs, clothes, fake IDs, pirated video copies, diamond items, drugs of varying severity.

But gradually Khao San is becoming more and more dull tourist attraction, and in a few years it will be absolutely safe here even for those tourists who are used to traveling on their own.
