Top 10 Attractions to Visit in Bangkok

Bangkok: The City of Temples, Tastes, and Timeless Energy

Bangkok is a city that never stops moving — a fascinating mix of gold-tipped temples, neon-lit streets, and the aroma of sizzling street food on every corner. It’s where history meets hedonism, and tradition dances with modern life.

From grand palaces and floating markets to river cruises and rooftop views, Bangkok offers experiences you won’t find anywhere else. And if you’re planning to visit multiple attractions, a Bangkok City Pass like MegaPass can help you explore smart — covering transport, internet data, and flexible access to the city’s top highlights.

Here are 10 must-visit attractions in Bangkok that capture the spirit of this vibrant city.

1. The Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew

The Grand Palace is the crown jewel of Bangkok — a glittering complex of royal buildings that once housed Thai kings. Inside, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) holds Thailand’s most sacred relic.
Every corner here tells a story through intricate murals, golden rooftops, and centuries of craftsmanship.

With a city pass, you can pre-book your visit and avoid long ticket queues at this world-famous landmark.

2. Wat Arun – The Temple of Dawn

Just across the Chao Phraya River, Wat Arun rises with its porcelain mosaics that sparkle under the sun. It’s best visited early in the morning or during sunset — when the golden light transforms the temple into a dreamscape.
Many travelers reach it by Hop-On Hop-Off Boat, which is included in MegaPass Bangkok, making your journey as scenic as the destination.

3. Wat Pho – The Reclining Buddha

Known for its massive 46-meter-long Reclining Buddha, Wat Pho is one of Bangkok’s oldest and most spiritual temples. It’s also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, where ancient healing techniques are still practiced.

💡 Local tip: You can easily combine Wat Pho, Wat Arun, and the Grand Palace into one day of exploration with the Hop-On Hop-Off Boat pass.

4. Mahanakhon SkyWalk

For jaw-dropping city views, head to King Power Mahanakhon Tower, Thailand’s tallest observation deck. Walk across its glass floor on the SkyWalk, 314 meters above ground, and enjoy a drink at the rooftop bar.
This is one of Bangkok’s most Instagram-famous spots — and yes, it’s one of the top attractions you can include with MegaPass Bangkok.

5. Damnoen Saduak & Maeklong Railway Market

Experience Thailand’s lively market culture with a day trip to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market, where vendors pack up their stalls seconds before the train passes through.
It’s a must-see adventure that showcases the unique pulse of Thai daily life — and it’s available as one of the included tours with MegaPass.

6. Chao Phraya River Dinner Cruise

See Bangkok illuminated at night with a Chao Phraya Princess Dinner Cruise or White Orchid River Cruise. You’ll float past historic temples, the Grand Palace, and glittering bridges while enjoying Thai cuisine and live music.
These cruises are among the top-rated experiences in the city and can be selected as part of your MegaPass attractions.

7. SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World

Located beneath Siam Paragon Mall, SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World is one of Southeast Asia’s largest aquariums. It’s home to thousands of marine species, including sharks and penguins.
This family-friendly attraction combines entertainment and education — and it’s available with your MegaPass as one of your selectable experiences.

8. Calypso Cabaret Show

Bangkok’s nightlife is dazzling, and the Calypso Cabaret Show captures it perfectly — a glamorous, colorful performance filled with music, dance, and theatrical art.
It’s an iconic Thai experience that celebrates diversity and creativity, and one that’s easy to include in your MegaPass itinerary for a memorable evening.

9. Ancient City & Erawan Museum

If you’re fascinated by Thai culture, don’t miss the Ancient City (Muang Boran) — an open-air museum featuring life-size replicas of Thailand’s most important landmarks.
Nearby, the Erawan Museum impresses visitors with its massive three-headed elephant statue and art-filled interior.
Both attractions are available as a combined experience with MegaPass Bangkok, complete with an audio guide for deeper insights.

10. Dream World & Safari World Bangkok

For families and thrill-seekers, Dream World Bangkok offers roller coasters, water rides, and even Snow Town, where you can play in real snow!
Animal lovers, on the other hand, will enjoy Safari World, where you can see lions, giraffes, dolphins, and more in open habitats.
Both parks are part of the MegaPass attraction list — perfect for a fun-filled day outside the city center.
