Lumphini Park
The “Central Park of the Tropics” offers a much-needed break between sightseeing and shopping, with picturesque lakes and wide lawns, the possibility to practice sundown aerobics, and a glimpse into the lives of Bangkokians.

Grand Palace and Wat Pho
The Palace is home to the sacred Emerald Buddha (but not the Royal Family) and a blend of intriguing Siamese and European architecture. Tranquil Wat Pho harbors a huge reclining Buddha and is the place to receive a traditional Thai massage.
