What to see and where to go in Bangkok?
The most interesting and beautiful places for walks. Photos and brief description.
The main attraction of the Thai capital, which previously served as the residence of kings. The complex was built at the end of the 18th century under Rama I, when the capital was moved to Bangkok. The plan of the Royal Palace was modeled after the residence in the ancient capital of Siam - Ayutthaya. On the large territory of the palace complex there are quaint temples, galleries decorated with heroes of the Thai epic, and administrative buildings.
Constructed entirely from pinkish teak wood (not a single nail was used), it is considered the largest wooden structure in the world. The palace was built for King Rama I. Translated from Thai, “Vimanmek” means “heavenly palace”. The architecture is close to the English Victorian style. The palace was originally located on Sichang Island, but was moved to Bangkok.
A mansion in the Renaissance and Neoclassical style, built in 1915 according to the design of Italian architects. Previously, Ananta Samakhom served as the royal throne room; now its territory houses a museum dedicated to Thai arts and crafts. The facade of the building looks elegant and at the same time simple; many marble elements were used in the decoration of the walls, this gives it a resemblance to European palaces.
The main Buddhist temple of Thailand, located in the heart of Bangkok next to the Royal Palace. The complex was built in the period 1782-1785. The main shrine of the temple and at the same time a popular tourist attraction is the jade statue of Buddha, with which many legends are associated. According to one version, the statue was created in heaven and brought down to earth with the help of a heavenly king.
The temple is from the mid-19th century, built during the reign of Chessadabondra. The temple's 79-meter pagoda rises above the Chao Phraya River, the walls are decorated with ceramic tiles and porcelain decoration (shards of pottery). There are steps leading to the top of the pagoda, symbolizing the difficulty of the righteous path of knowledge. The sun's rays reflect from the porcelain surface of the walls and from afar it seems that Wat Arun sparkles with “divine light”.
A traditional Buddhist temple, where the world's largest Buddha statue, made of gold (according to the Thais themselves), is kept. The sculpture weighs five tons and reaches three meters in height. Researchers claim that the age of the Golden Buddha is almost 700 years. There are many interesting stories associated with the statue. During the Burmese attack on Thailand, it was hidden under a layer of plaster and then lost. Only thanks to an accidentally broken piece of alabaster, the Golden Buddha returned to its place.
One of the oldest temples in Thailand. From the XII to the XVIII centuries. there was a Buddhist monastery on this site. Under King Rama I, it was significantly rebuilt and expanded, and a stupa 41 meters high was also erected by the will of His Majesty. Today there are 95 stupas on the temple grounds. The statue of the reclining Buddha is the largest statue of this god in the world. It reaches a length of 95 meters and a height of 15 meters.
The temple building is made of metal, which is why it is often called the “iron temple”. The structure was erected in the 20th century in honor of Princess Vadhanavadi (granddaughter of the reigning king at that time). Wat Ratchanadda is built in the classical Ceylonese architectural style. The temple pagoda contains 37 sharp spiers representing virtues - steps on the path to higher Buddhist enlightenment.
The temple was built at the beginning of the 19th century and is located in the historical part of Bangkok on the island of Rattanakosin. The interior painting of the building reflects typical Buddhist ideas about the structure of the Universe. There are 156 statues of Buddha installed along the walls of the temple, and inside there is an 8-meter bronze statue of the god. Near the temple stands a giant teak swing, where people swung in hopes of winning a bag of coins during the harvest ceremony. Due to the risk of injury, this ritual was abolished in 1932.
The temple building rises 70 meters above the city, so from here you can see a picturesque panorama of the Thai capital. The temple complex Wat Saket is located on a fairly large area, the buildings are surrounded by a green park. Colorful statues are scattered along the road for visitors to see. Especially for people who are tired of the tiring climb to the temple, there are benches and cozy platforms at different levels of the stairs.
As the name suggests, the temple is built entirely of marble, which is quite rare in Thailand. Other materials were specially imported from Italy. The structure was erected at the end of the 19th century under ruler Rama V, and his ashes rest here. There is a park around the building with a river and a pond, where you can enjoy the silence and tranquil landscapes of the surrounding area.
The museum is located near the Royal Palace complex in central Bangkok. The building was erected at the end of the 18th century.

Thompson collected his collection in the 50-60s. XX century. The building itself is an example of traditional Siamese architecture. For unknown reasons, the collector disappeared during one of his travels, and his home was given over to a museum.
The museum collection consists of 8 traditional Thai boats, entirely carved from teak trunks. Each vessel is richly decorated with intricate carvings, lush decoration, and expensive decorative elements. Boats are used quite rarely for special ceremonies involving royalty. They can sit at anchor for months and wait in the wings. The largest barge, Suppanahong, reaches 46 meters in length.
The museum building is a figure of a huge elephant with three heads. Erawan was founded in 1967 with the aim of preserving the cultural heritage of the Thai people.

Veriapan were: to acquaint the general public with the values of local culture, to include the museum collection in the World Heritage Fund of Humanity, and to engage in educational work among the younger generation.

City ferries and pleasure boats for tourists constantly ply along Chao Phraya. During the evening rush hour, for many Thais the waterway remains the only way to somehow get home.
Thailand is often called the Mecca of sexual tourism. More often than not, Thais prefer that Thailand attracts more tourists with its beautiful beaches and rich culture, rather than go-go bars with ping-pong shows. But the forbidden fruit is sweet and a large number of tourists go in search of strawberries. Bangkok is a large city, but there are several areas where establishments providing intimate services are concentrated. Looking ahead, here is simply a description of the areas and features of the eating establishments. If you are interested in the “process” or the specifics of picking up girls, then this is the place for you.
Patpong is the name often heard when talking about "strawberry" in Bangkok and Thailand. Patpong is one of the most popular tourist areas in Bangkok, although most people come here just to look and take a few pictures to show back home.
Patpong is the name of two streets (Pat Pong Pong Pat 1 and 2) flowing from Silom Road near BTS Sala Daeng Station (BTS Silom). The fame of the Patpong area is mainly due to the fact that at one time these two streets were exclusively occupied by brothels and clubs, bars, all apartments were rented out and used for the same purpose.
But this area is known not only for prostitutes and go-go bars. For some unknown reason, someone decided that this is a great place for a tourist market, where an inexperienced tourist can be sold at exorbitant prices on souvenirs, fake expensive watches and bags, samurai swords, Thai silk and much more. In the center of the pedestrian street there is a market where two rows of stalls are filled with souvenirs, fakes and other tourist products. Very interesting things happen. If you want to buy something for yourself, you must be prepared to be ready for a heated bargain!
Market in Patpong area
Replicas of expensive watches. It must be admitted that prices here are much lower than in Pattaya for similar models.
In the Patpong area they promise to show the so-called “Ping Pong Show” from the “Shocking Asia” area. As soon as you get out of the taxi and spend the entire time on the street, “agents” will hover around you and offer you a ping-pong show. Send them far and deep, because... they will lead you to an ordinary Go-Go bar, where girls dance near a pole in swimsuits. In some bars you can see topless girls. This is not a show! And it's shareware! You must buy a drink while watching this show. In three hours we still couldn’t find a real ping-pong show! Even with the help of agents!
Nana Plaza is another popular "resort" for tourists seeking carnal pleasures. Nana Plaza is located across the street from Nana Plaza Hotel and a short walk from BTS Nana Station. Nana Plaza is a huge three-story complex in the shape of the letter "U". The first two floors are occupied by bars, pubs, go-go bars and other entertainment establishments. The third floor is a “hotel” or, simply put, rooms for “quick sex”. The room costs 300 baht for two hours.
The “fine” to a go-go bar for a girl in Nana Plaza is 500-600 baht. A more or less decent show with naked girls can be seen at the Angels Devil's club on the second floor.
Nana Plaza has existed since the 70s. At first there were only restaurants, but gradually sexual tourism establishments replaced restaurants.
Three floors of depravity
How to get there?
All of these areas can be reached independently by metro, but taxis are usually used. Every taxi driver knows the name of these areas. Try to emphasize the last syllable "Nan" á Plaza á " .
What is Ping Pong Show?
Although currently the repertoire of... spectacles offered goes far beyond the classic balloon show, the name has remained unchanged. We prefer to leave the specific description of what is happening to your imagination, but in a nutshell: balloons, Coca-Cola bottles, cigarettes, balloons, razors, candles and other objects that under normal conditions it is in no way possible to associate them with a woman’s intimate organs.
Some bars that host a Ping Pong show play the trick of enticing customers with low beer prices, but when it comes time to pay the bill, it turns out they forgot to mention the “low” fee for the show. By refusing to pay, you will have the opportunity to see that Thai security guards can look quite intimidating.
