Bangkok Things to Do Tips by WaRPer

Boat Trips Chao Phraya River Review

There're wide-variety of boat trips available along Chao Phraya River. Take the BTS Skytrain to Saphan Taksin (terminal station) then go down to the ferry station where you'll find several boat companies offering you day-trips to: Orchid Farm, Floating Market, ..... Or just simply ride along the river, enjoying the temples and villagers' way-of-life.

Address: Saphan Taksin Stn., Bangkok

Victory Monument and Around Victory Monument Review

It sure is the croudiest part of Bangkok, the main transportation hub, an area in between business and residential districts. The monument designed by Prof. Silp Peerasri, praising soldiers who sacrifice their lives in the Indochina War. Today, the place is famous for its low-key shopping complexes, namely Center One and around where you can find OK-quality clothing and all other fashion accessories (pretty much like Pratu Nam)

Directions: BTS Skytrain or public buses (try to catch the orange ones)

Thai: Wat Khake Sri Mariamman Temple Review

This is the most sacred place for Indian's (and some Thais') community in Bangkok. The temple looks very unique and colorful. Great experience, although the inscense-sticks' smell can be irritating at the first moment. You can also make a pray, this place is famous among prayers, and it draws more and more people each year.

No photos can be taken from the inside, take off your shoes before entering.

Address: Silom Road

Directions: Around 10 mins walk from Chong Nonsi Skytrain station
On the opposite side of Sofitel, Silom.

Bangkok's Lung Lumphini Park Review

The park sets itself at the very heart of Bangkok's busiest business area, between Silom and Sathorn Road. Open as early as 4 in the morning, there you'll find lots of morning surfers (mostly aged between 55-70 something), having their group 'Ji-Gong' exercise. The park is quiet during working hours and becomes crouded again around 5 p.m. -- The hi-light is here, there's a free aerobic session at 6 p.m. gathering hundreds (or thousands) of people every day (except Sun.) It's a pleasure walking/jogging around the park, as there're so many things to see and do. + Sometimes a free concert on Sundays.

Address: Alongside Ratchadamri Road / Rama IV Road

Directions: A short walk from either Ratchadamri or Sala Daeng skytrain stations.

Wang Suan Pakkad Suan Pakkad Palace Museum Review

This palace sits humbly among the high-rise skyscapers, not very far from BTS-Phyatai Station. As a Thai Myself, I think this is a very lovely place and I want to see more visitors coming here. The house owner dedicated these old typical Thai houses for displaying impressive collections of traditional arts.

Entrance Fee: 100 Baht/person

Address: 352-354 Sri Ayudhya Road ,Phyathai , Bangkok
