Can you recommend some Unusual/odd sights/places/activities in Bangkok?

For example taking a bicycle tour in Bangkok was quite fun.

 

I've been in Bangkok quite a few times but mostly been to the main things like temples, river market, MBK and so on.

What are some lesser known places/sights/activities?

Take the BTS sky train and travel all stations, Then take the subway and do likewise.

Go to Swampy and watch tourists for a day.

Chatuchak weekend market.

Sometimes I'd just pick a BTS or MRT stop, get off, and walk around for a while to see what I could see.  I didn't end up doing enough of this, unfortunately.

Thats one of the coolest things to do. Like, wow, look, Im here, check this out.

Ancient City in Samuth Prakan, very interesting museum

 

Artits's House, from eg BTS Wong Wien Yai, taxi to Charan Sanit Wong road and very end of soi 3,

cross canal via small  bridge, turn left - educational and interesting, very suitable for kids

 

Bang Sai, in Pathum north or Ayudaya south - eastern river bank, big area with many many artisan

workshops, initiated and sponsored by Queen Sirikit,

I think  initially developed for physically and mentally challenged people and former inmates.

Very nice area and very interesting most workshops you can enter and watch in detail how

the artisans work.

 

Find River City shopping centre, from there take the soi/road closest to the river, upstream,

after less than a km there is a SCB bank on your left, visit that bank office,

old fantastic building on the eastern river bank,

the bank office is a dream from old times, extremely well maintained,

don't forget to visit the toilets.

tired of sight seeing?

taxi to Rama 3 road soi 14, very end of soi

 

Restaurant Baan Klang Naam, large old Thai style wooden restaurants on stilts, eastern river bank,

of course good view

specialises in seafood, no market food, seafood delivered fresh from Bang Kon Tien / Maha Chai

every morning.

One of the very few Thai style restaurants where you can get a gin tonic or dry martini by the

glass, no need to buy bottles

C Cup Cafe is one of the most loved places in Bangkok, and of course mostly for men. Waitresses there are allowed to wear whatever they want since the cafe doesn’t have a strict dress code, so they proudly show off the correlation with the cafe’s name. The food is pretty good, too, according to the happy faces on their page.

Have you visited Suan Luang Rama IX Park yet?

 

 

 

Also include Nong Bon.  It is very close to Suan Luang Rama IX Park.  Just turn into Chalerm Prakiet Soi 43 and go to the end of the Soi and you are at the entrance to the park.  There is a 4km path around the park for people to ride bicycles or go running/walking.
