Bangkok Science Museum and Planetarium
The Bangkok Science Museum and Planetarium (also called the Science Centre for Education) is one of those places that many people don’t know exist, even though it’s been around for decades.
Landmarks
Lumphini Park
Lumphini Park is a 142-acre urban retreat that dates back to 1925. Surrounded by high-end buildings, shopping malls, hotels, and even rooftop bars, the park is a haven providing a peaceful escape from the hectic pace of daily life.
Wat Arun, the temple of Dawn
Wat Arun, also known as the temple of Dawn, is a significant landmark of Bangkok, built before 1656. It’s much more modest than Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace or Wat Pho and the Giant Reclining Buddha, but its iconic shape is better known in many ways.
Bangkok Forensic Museum at Siriraj Hospital
Bangkok Forensic Museum is not on people’s top 10 list of things to see in Bangkok, at least not on a first trip, but it seems to rank high on people’s ‘Off the beaten track travel guide’.
The Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew
The Grand Palace of Bangkok, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and Wat Phra Kaew (or Wat Pra Kaew) are, without a doubt, the most famous landmarks in Bangkok, and they are often seen in many movies.
