Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium

8.2
4.8/5
1.6k reviews

Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium is a highly prestigious professional Muay Thai venue in Bangkok, regarded alongside Lumpinee Stadium as one of Thailand's two main modern Muay Thai arenas. The stadium began construction in 1941 but was halted due to material shortages during World War II, resuming after the war and hosting its first match only by the end of 1945. Initially an open-air venue without a roof, it was fitted with a concrete roof in 1951 and has undergone multiple renovations and upgrades since. Today, it stands as a modern enclosed stadium, embodying a condensed history of Thailand's professional Muay Thai. The gym hosts frequent matches year-round. On fight days, professional fighters from across Thailand compete here for the gym's own rankings and championship titles. Unlike performance-oriented bouts for travelers, these are real fights that count toward professional records: fighters wear mongkon headbands and perform ritual dances to traditional music before the match—the elaborate wai khru ceremony is worth arriving early to witness. During fights, every sweep kick and knee strike lands with full force in high-intensity clashes, so be mentally prepared. Each seating area offers a distinct experience—ringside seats provide close-up action, while the upper stands are packed with local veteran fans who roar with every powerful hit, creating waves of cheers that let you experience Muay Thai in its rawest form.

SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World

4.5/5
8.4k reviews

SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World brings a large aquarium into the two basement floors of Siam Paragon mall in downtown Bangkok, making it a highly popular family-friendly indoor attraction. Over a dozen themed exhibition areas guide visitors from tropical rainforests to the deep sea, with hundreds of marine species inhabiting the space, including large sharks measuring nearly 4 m in length. The underwater tunnel is the highlight of the aquarium, offering a 270-degree curved view where sharks, rays and schools of fish glide slowly overhead and alongside visitors. The shark walkway is a glass floor suspended above the shark tank, allowing guests to look down and see sharks swimming beneath their feet. The penguin snow park is home to a group of gentoo penguins, and through the underwater viewing window, visitors can watch them "fly" through the water, while African penguins can also be spotted in another rocky coastal area. The Asian small-clawed otters in the tropical rainforest zone are lively and playful, often drawing crowds. The jellyfish exhibit becomes particularly dreamy under changing lights, while the seahorse kingdom and green sea turtle zone invite a slower pace for closer observation. The coral reef area features schools of clownfish darting about, and the rock pool, where visitors can touch intertidal creatures like starfish, is especially popular with children. The aquarium offers scheduled feeding guides for penguins, otters, sharks and rays daily. We recommend checking the day's time slots upon arrival to plan your visit accordingly. The coral reef zone offers an optional glass-bottom boat experience - watch keepers hand-feed fish and sharks glide beneath the boat for a unique perspective. Fully air-conditioned indoors, it's ideal in any weather. A two-hour visit allows comfortable exploration, though families with children may want to allocate more time. △ Here you can observe tropical rainforest creatures such as Asian small-clawed otters, hook ants, and green crested lizards. △ Come and see our adorable Papuan penguins

Chao Phraya River

4.5/5

The Chao Phraya River is the customary name used by the Chinese community for the river known in Thai as "Chao Phraya." The term "Chao Phraya" originates from Thai, literally meaning "mother of waters," while its Thai name is often translated as "river of kings," both reflecting the river's significance in Thailand. It originates in the northern mountains of Thailand, flows south through the central plains, passes the ancient capital of Ayutthaya, and runs through the heart of Bangkok before emptying into the Gulf of Thailand. Including its upstream tributaries, it stretches over 1,000 km. Bangkok grew alongside this river, once crisscrossed by waterways and dubbed the "Venice of the East." Even today, the Chao Phraya River remains a vital waterway for local transportation and daily life. Taking a cruise is a classic way to explore the river. By day, the water bustles with public ferries, cargo boats, and crossings, resembling a watery highway for Bangkok residents, while traditional floating markets have mostly relocated to tributaries. Along the river, historic landmarks like the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun glide past, juxtaposed with modern malls like ICONSIAM across the water. A short ferry ride from Tha Tian Pier leads to Wat Arun on the opposite bank. At night, the river transforms as lights illuminate both shores, with Wat Arun's porcelain-clad spires shimmering softly. Sightseeing and dinner cruises set sail, offering a distinctly different atmosphere from the land-based experience. If timing allows, an evening cruise lets you witness both the sunset and the city lights, capturing two faces of the river in one trip. △Sparkling Chao Phraya River △Enchanting night view at Chao Phraya River

Jurassic World: The Experience

7.5
4.5/5
1.5k reviews

Jurassic World: The Experience is an immersive venue themed around the Jurassic World film series, located within the Asiatique riverside night market complex along the Chao Phraya River. Based on the cinematic universe created by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, travelers are guided to "board" Isla Nublar, traversing through a venue spanning thousands of square meters that recreates jungle and research station scenes from the films. Along the way, they are surrounded by life-size animatronic dinosaurs, with the low growls of a massive T. rex and the towering silhouette of a Brachiosaurus creating an up-close, on-site spectacle. The trip unfolds layer by layer with the storyline—at the field research station, travelers must mimic calls to help locate the lost stegosaurus; when the T. rex's roar suddenly echoes, everyone follows the group in a jog to take shelter in the lab, blending thrills with fun. The entire experience takes place indoors, lasting about one hour, with on-site guides primarily in English and Thai, ensuring both family-friendly enjoyment and delight for dinosaur enthusiasts. A souvenir shop is set up at the exit, and the park also features a "Fossils & Flames" themed restaurant inspired by the film, extending the prehistoric adventure to the dining table—perfect for pairing with a riverside night market trip on the same day.

Truly beautiful details on the buildings. 8.30am = easy ticket and few people. All buildings are thoughtfully maintained and the gardens are lovely. Ticket price includes transport and entrance to a cultural dance show.

I went there because it's said to be the largest zoo in Asia. Although it's a bit far from the city center, it's still very fun. You'll need at least half a day to explore it. Depending on the time, there are many shows, such as gorilla shows, elephant shows, and gunfights. It's quite good for families with children. You can also pay 20 yuan to ride their sightseeing bus, which takes about an hour and a half.

This has got to be the highlight of our bkk trip. The matches were eye opening as we do not know much about Muay Thai before coming here. We chose club seats as recommended by fellow travellers. The host and camera man were very entertaining. Thumbs up.

The park is flat so is perfectly manageable by bike and you can weave in and out of places not accessible to the golf cart.The mixture of buildings is impressive; from the glorious recreations near the beginning to the only slightly less impressive ones scattered throughout the park. There is lots to see, explore or wonder at.There is also lots of work going on as I write. The whole floating village area is is being 'dug out' so should be back to normal for the next season.

Being up on the King Power Mahanakhon tower made me realise how huge and expansive the city of Bangkok is. I really enjoyed the sunset with many strangers and tourists on the SkyDeck. There was dance music playing which made the whole atmosphere more exciting. There is also a glass floor SkyWalk for those daring enough to brave it.
