17 Top Tourist Spots in Bangkok

16. Wat Suthat[SEE MAP]

   Best Places to Visit in Thailand

One of just ten first grade royal temples in Bangkok, Wat Suhat needs to be seen to be believed such is the sheer size and scale of it. Its ornate ordination hall is the largest in the country.

Everything about the temple is oversized. Twenty-eight Chinese pagodas line its lower base, with their intricate carvings and decorations perfectly showing off the incredible Thai craftsmanship.

Inside is just as beautiful, with wonderful murals depicting the life of the Buddha. The eight-meter high bronze Buddha image Phra Sri Sakayamuni is both an important historical and religious artifact.

15. Lumpinee Boxing Stadium[SEE MAP]

Lumpinee Boxing Stadium is a great place to head to if you want a fun night out in Bangkok. The passionate fans who come to watch Muay Thai fights make for an intoxicating atmosphere.

Run by the Royal Thai Army, the arena holds contests every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday night. Because winning is very prestigious the fights are fiercely contested.

The tightly packed seats are close to the ring. Lumpinee is one of the only places where gambling is permitted, so the fans are even more passionate as they have money riding on the fight.

14. Terminal 21[SEE MAP]

With each floor home to a different market street from around the world, visitors to this themed shopping mall can find themselves in Rome one minute before moving on to Istanbul and Tokyo the next.

Terminal 21 is really well done; each of the floors is instantly recognizable, with such features as a miniature Golden Gate Bridge and London Underground Carriage transporting you to another world.

With lots of restaurants as well as a cinema, Terminal 21 is a fun place to do some shopping in a unique mall.
