If you're lost when sightseeing in Bangkok, check these 8 handpicked recommended spots!

If you're in Bangkok for the first time and wondering "Where should I go?", we've compiled a list of places we've actually been to and enjoyed◎

1. Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)

A beautiful temple with a pure white pagoda along the Chao Phraya River.

At dusk, it's enveloped in orange light, creating a fantastical world.

The view from the opposite bank is also spectacular!

Easy access by ferry from the opposite bank of the river (Wat Pho side).

2. Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha)

The 46m long giant reclining Buddha is a sight to behold! It's many times larger than you'd imagine when you see it in front of you, and it was difficult to capture it in a photo!

The delicate mother-of-pearl work on the soles of the feet is a must-see.

3. Grand Palace & Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)

The Grand Palace area is a condensed version of the beauty of Thai architecture.

The Emerald Buddha surrounded by golden decorations is the symbol of Thai Buddhism.
Once you step inside, you'll feel like you've entered another world.

4. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

A floating market with a "Thai feel" like the ones you see in the movies.
You can enjoy eating and shopping while being rocked by a boat.
It's popular with tourists, but it's definitely worth a visit!

5. Maeklong Railway Market

A train runs through the middle of the market! A spectacular famous spot.
The highlight is the local movement of folding up tents all at once.
The best time to go is in the morning!

6. Asiatique the Riverfront

A popular riverside spot that combines a night market and a Ferris wheel.
Lined with stylish shops and food stalls, it's the perfect place to enjoy Bangkok at night!

7. Khao San Road

A lively night street.
Backpackers gather from all over the world, and the food stalls, bars, and clubs are bustling until late at night.
I hope you'll experience this chaotic feeling for at least one day!

8. TICHUCA Rooftop Bar

A super photogenic spot with a 360-degree view of Bangkok's nightscape.
The interior with lights hanging from the ceiling is especially a must-see.
It's an extraordinary space that makes you want to dress up and go out!

Bangkok is known for its "classic spots."
But once you go there, you'll understand why they're classics.
Even if you only have a limited time, be sure to find your favorite spot! #BangkokTourism #BangkokTrip #ThailandTrip #WatPho #FloatingMarket #MaeklongMarket #RooftopBar #KhaoSanRoad #TripMoments #Bangkok #Thailand
