10 Free Activities in Bangkok Thailand

If you�re traveling on a tight budget, enjoy some of the best Bangkok has to offer for free. Free museums, free activities, free sights � all great things to do that won�t cost you a Baht!

1. Visit TemplesBangkok has dozens of amazing temples and many of them are free to visit. Wat Mangkorn Kamalawat in Chinatown, Wat Indraviharn in Dusit, and Wat Patum Wanaran in central Bangkok (nestled in between Paragon and Central World Plaza shopping malls) are just three beautiful and interesting temples that don�t charge any admission fee.

2. The Bangkok Art & Culture CenterThis newly opened (2008) modern art center across the street from MBK mega mall has revolving art exhibits on eleven floors and funky outdoor art installations, too. The modern, airy building itself is worth a visit.

3. Lumphini ParkBangkok�s most popular public park offers fun and interesting activities any time of the day. If you�re up early, head over by 6 a.m. to watch folks fan dancing, practicing Tai Chi and running. At 6 p.m., there are free outdoor aerobics classes anyone can participate in.

4. Tour the City�s Many MarketsA visit to Thailand would not be complete without visiting one of the country�s bustling outdoor markets. Thewet Market and Khlong Toey Market are both old-fashioned Thai vegetable and produce markets and offer a fascinating peek at normal life.

5. Bangkok Butterfly Garden & InsectariumVisit the enclosed butterfly garden inside Rot Fai Park to see hundreds of butterflies and plenty of other insects, too. The park is just adjacent to Chatuchak Market and if you�re not into bugs, the surrounding Queen Sirikit park offer plenty of pretty flowers to look at.

6. Art GalleriesVisit one of the city�s many art galleries to see what modern Thai art is all about. The Queen�s Gallery showcases talented young artists from all over Thailand. Other galleries in the city have revolving exhibits featuring Thai and Southeast Asia art.

7. Silpa Bhirasri Memorial & MuseumThis small museum exhibits the work of Silpa Bhirasri, the father of modern Thai art, and the work of some of his well-known pupils. The space was formerly the artist�s office and studio and is just a few minutes on foot from Sanam Luang.

8. The Bangkok MuseumOne of Bangkok�s coolest museums is the Bangkok Museum (sometimes called the Bangkok Folk Museum), with exhibits depicting typical middle-class life in Bangkok during the mid-twentieth century. The museum is tucked away on a side street off of busy Charoen Krung Road.

9. Royal Elephant MuseumThese former royal stables have become a museum dedicated to one of the country�s most honored animals, the elephant. See ornate palanquins (seating platforms set atop elephants) and elephant armor and learn about why elephants are so important to Thai culture.

10. The Corrections MuseumOn the edge of Rommani Nart Park near the Old City is this prison turned museum. Curators have put together a handful of exhibits to demonstrate the different types of punishment meted out over the course of the country�s history. Be warned that the life-size wax figures in various terrifying situations and photos of past executions are quite grisly.

Patong Beach was once considered as to be too remote for people to go.

2009-05-14T08:27:26Z

Patong Beach is located on Phuket Island's west coast. Patong Beach was once considered as to be too remote for people to go. However, today it is one of the most famous beaches of Thailand. The beach became popular with western tourists, especially Europeans, in the late 1980s. Today one can find many large hotels and resorts in Patong. Patong Beach is approximately 15 kilometers from Phuket Town.

The beach is oval shaped and the coastline is filled with luxurious hotels and restaurants. Patong Beach is famous for its nightlife. Nightlife is centered around two main areas - the Bangla Road and Paradise Complex. There are many restaurants, discos and bars right from budget levels to luxurious star hotels.

Patong Beach is a public beach and it is open to anyone. There are certain beaches in Phuket which are reserved just for foreigners and do not allow locals on to them. A number of facilities are available at Patong Beach. Tourists and visitors can hire a boat to visit other beaches around the island. Visitors can participate in water sports and tourists can go for shopping in the innumerous shops that sell items rather cheaply.

On December 26, 2004, Patong Beach was struck by a tsunami caused by the earthquake in the Indian Ocean. The wave caused a great deal of destruction. Although the destruction was not as bad when compared to Khao Lak, it took six months to rebuild a part of the destroyed beach. At that point it was estimated that another year or so would be required to rebuild the beach to its former glory while removing all traces of the destruction caused by the tsunami.
