It was said that King Taksin usually worship this place before he went to war as what I read and no historical records either. This Shrine is alone though. To get there: Depart Chao Phraya Boat at the Princess Mother Memorial Park(4th stop)

Wat Ratchabopit is one of the Wats that Royal People come to visit and pay a prayer to this temple, when we visit this today it is open and tourist is allowed to get inside normaly, they are only open for 3 days in a year so whe're lucky enough to be there though we're late and never saw some of the royal families.

This place is located between the Ratchatiwi Roan and Rangnam Road where blocks away in our place. This park as what I read commemorates the peace at the end of the World War II.

The place was constructed in the reign of King Rama V and later new building was being built after the next reign. This quiet place is another off the beaten place for you to check out! To get there: Take the BTS or tell the taxi driver to Payathai Station. It's in Rachatiwi Road. Open Monday to Friday.8:30 to 4:30 pm. No admission fee.

You can see Wat's everywhere in Bangkok, specially when you take the tour of the well known Chao Phraya River. There you can see the real life of most of the Bangkokians living in the side of this river. You can even discover some heart warming experience.

The first time I saw the Palace, thought of the Supreme Court of SG and these one here is a throne Hall of the Parliaments. We only pass by this area but some people there that I saw that time are foreigners. So, I guess this must be one of the great palaces in Thailand. Address: Uthonnai Road, Dusit District Free Admission(as what I read) To get there, take the Bus # 70 & 72. You can also take a Tuk-tuk but be sure to settle the price before getting in:)

The Monument was built in the reign of the present King to commemorate the soldiers, policemans and civilians who have lost their lives during the border conflict of Thailand and Indochina. To get there: Take the BTS Skytrain and stop @ the Victory Monumant Station, exit to the left and walk straight ahead for about 3 to 5 minutes. There are also cheap sari-sari stands along the streets to the area.

This is the biggest park in Bangkok which many of the Thai's visit this place during Saturdays' and Sundays as a bonding time and family day out's along the park, they have nice and clean fountains, comfort rooms, nice benches and lovely flowers!
