Was really nice to be able to walk the walls of the citadel and the information panels along the way added all the relevant info. You could get an idea of how important the defences were in times gone by. Shame you couldn't get to upper levels in the towers. Take time to have a walk if you're in the area.

Go between June and August for better weather. Still, such a great day trip from Da Nang with its rich history and passionate restoration work. You will see some Vietnamese locals dressed up in traditional wear taking photos, making the experience even more surreal.

Must visit. If you’re visiting Hue, plan to visit Citadel along with the tombs. Do a 2 days tour and don’t rush. Guided tours will offer more. Excellent capital city. Rich history and great architecture. You’ll be satisfied with the experience.

Hue Imperial City was built in 1804 under King Gia Long and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993. I love walking around the ancient palace and admire the beauty at every corner. Hundred years ago, it used to a enormous and glorious palace. Sadly, many constructions are damaged, though they are being restored, could not bring back the original spirit of the place. The atmosphere was quite sad in a rainy day.

Come to the palace for a photo op, especially in traditional costumes. It's not a particularly interesting place for a casual tour, but it's beautiful in its details. If you're visiting on a sunny day, be sure to bring an umbrella, as there's very little shade.

Overall, it was a solid experience, though I expected a bit more. The complex is huge, but the overall layout could be better organized. I didn’t take the audio guide because I don’t like using headphones — probably a mistake. The descriptions of the monuments were quite minimal and not very engaging. I also chose a bad day to visit since it was extremely hot.

Expansive area of historic city with palaces, temples and official buildings. Visited on a rainy day and spent an entire afternoon walking through the corridors and alleys. Not as beautiful as present day Vietnam but still worth visiting

Was a great place to see what it was like for the Vietnamese resistance against the Americans and south Vietnam. The lady that talked to us knew a lot but it sounded like it was off a script (fair enough since English isn’t here first language). The walk through the tunnel was small but really showed us just how they had to live to survive (if you are tall you actually might not fit unless you crawl). The only downside which could have just been our group but we just straight walked through the tunnel and didn’t learn much about like how they lived or what it felt like maybe it was just hard when it’s so small, in that case if it was just our group the tunnels are a great way to learn and understand another side of the Vietnam war instead of just the Americans.

This Vietnam historic tunnel system is not anything like Cu Chi tunnel, and absolutely worths the visit. It speaks the voices of Vietnamese heroic ancestors who gave up their "today" so that we, their descendants, can wake up "tomorrow". Forever be grateful to the war invalids and martyrs ♥️

Came as part of the DMZ tour from Hue. Very interesting to hear all the history of the tunnels. An amazing place dug out in 18 months and used as home for around 300 people from the village during the war. Incredible how they managed to live for such a long time in these spaces with limited time to get out to enjoy fresh air. Bomb craters still litter the area so you get an impression of how heavily the area was targeted. If you don't do the whole tour it's definitely worth making time to visit here anyway. Very interesting.

Thoroughly worth the trip. Fascinating exploration of the cave system. We just turned up, purchased entry tickets, and asked for a guide. There is a 30min video presentation you can watch beforehand which explains the story of the tunnels. Our guide was a 3rd generation villager whose parents were born in the tunnels. She gave us a very emotional account of her parents plight in the tunnels. We arrived around 1pm and spent about 3hrs for the whole visit. Be prepared to walk down steep steps in narrow tunnels up to 30m underground. There are no handrails so reasonable mobility and fitness is required.

If you are traveling through Vietnam, or at least passing by through here from north to south it HAS to be one of your stops! It’s my third time in Vietnam but the very first in the tunnels and the only thing I regret is not coming here earlier. It was an enlightening experience getting to know more about the history and being able to see where it happened. Vietnam proves once again why they are such a strong, resilient and beautiful country.

DMZ tunnels North Vietnam. Very impressive to see what the build to survive, because these tunnels were only meant to keep civilians save during the bombing. There were 3 levels from 10, 15 and 23 meters deep. The second level was for utilising 200 up to 1000 people (worst case) having familie rooms, a baby room (17 kids were born underground, 16 still living) and an operating/medical room. The 3rd level (23 meters) was only for storing food and weapons to defend, because the humidity was too high to live there. Longest stay of people inside was only five days during bombardments.

This place is cool! Worth the visit especially if the tour include other turístic spots. Don't come only for the Tunnels, buy a package that include many places in the area.

We were absolutely thrilled with the trip that Vu planned for us! We spent 5 days with him touring numerous sites where my father served while in the army. We would not have been able to access many of the places we visited without his wealth of knowledge of the area and sites related to the war. If we return to Vietnam again, we would only consider booking a tour with Vu!

The best tour guide you will ever find anywhere is called Mr Vu. What a genuine, friendly, insightful, personable, passionate and knowledgeable guide we have had the privilege to carry us through the rugged and dramatic landscape of the former DMZ. Mr Vu has perfect English but mostly perfect knowledge of every detail you could possibly want to have about the battles that took place in the area, the camps and units that resided there, and the terrible hardships the local population has had to go through. Everything on the tour is fine tuned, wherever you are Mr vu will diligently pick you up and drive you everywhere. Please use his services if you want to visit the DMZ, we were listening to other guides sometimes and they were not explaining things as well as he was. Do not hesitate to book him ! Thank you Mr Vu !

Booked this tour to the DMZ and Vinh Moc Tunnels as a gift for my partner, who’s a history buff. The drive from Da Nang was long but scenic, with a very friendly and professional driver. Mr Vu’s passion and knowledge of history made the experience unforgettable—he offered fascinating insights into the war from a Vietnamese perspective and how it shapes attitudes and culture today. Bonus: an unexpected but delicious roadside pho lunch. Excellent value and highly recommended if you want a deep dive into war and military history.

We recommend Annam Tour. Mr Vu is a fantastic guide having fluent English and deep knowledge about the DMZ and the war itself. He makes that your imagination brings you to the times of war. With Mr Vu each hill and square of the DMZ has its own history. In addition, Mr Vu shows historical photos on a tablet which is an added value. Finally, he uses a good quality car which is an advantage over other tours. For sure worth the price.

I can’t recommend Mr Vu enough, a thorough knowledge of history and place, with a clear passion for his subject. So helpful and friendly, he was very flexible in adapting the tour to what we hoped to get from it and really couldn’t be happier with the experience!

Mr Vu's knowledge in history is exceptional. Fluent English. Highly recommend for military history enthusiasts. We had a really great time. Thank you.

We had a tour with Vu to know more about the Vinh Moc tunnels. It was amazing! Plenty of information about the war and how the people managed to love by then.

A humbling experience. For all sides. I got to walk alone quiet around the field. It must have been hell there. Though provoking and I believe if you have any interest you should go.

I’ve been visiting the Khe Sanh Combat Base and its Ta Con airstrip museum for 17 years, often with American veterans who fought in Vietnam. This site, infamous for the 77-day siege where countless American GIs and fifteen thousand of North Vietnamese soldiers lost their lives, is more than a historical landmark—it’s a place of healing. For the veterans, it’s a chance to face their past and honor the fallen, and for me, it’s a space to reflect on the sacrifices of both sides. I often think of those who died here and hope their souls rest in peace. That said, the museum experience could be improved. The interior exhibitions lean a bit biased in their presentation, and some photo captions are inaccurate—corrections would add credibility. Accessibility is another issue; there’s no ramp for wheelchair users, limiting who can fully explore the site. The souvenir counter feels cluttered and could be reorganized to create a warmer, more welcoming vibe for visitors. On a brighter note, the surrounding area boasts some of Vietnam’s best coffee, a legacy started by Frenchman Eugène Poilane in the mid-1920s. Sipping it amid the now-peaceful coffee fields adds a unique layer to the visit. Khe Sanh remains a powerful, humbling place, but a few updates could make it even more meaningful for those who come to remember.

Hearing a lot of stories on the battle of Khe Sanh, which was one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War, I decided to come and see the museum. I must admit I was not disappointed as I could learn Abu the story of the 1968 Battle of Khe Sanh and the role the base played during the war.

Again on the DMZ tour. This was an interesting place and the history around the area and why it was put here as a combat base to shut off the Ho Chi Minh trail. A few interesting relics still here such as bunkers, a Patton tank, an APC and a Huey and Chinook helicopter. The museum tells of the siege to take the area and subsequent battles. Good for the history buffs.

Khe sanh combat base consider one of the most famous outposts base in the Vietnam war history Recommend - watch the documentary and read the information before visiting this site

Nice site bulit on the former marine air base in Khe Sanh. Small musuem of the conflict from the Vietnamese viewpoint. Some old aircraft and tanks of US origin still onsite as well.

A bunch of old war junk and a small decent museum. Not worth the 50k admission. I had high hopes. The Indy redeeming feature was the overly friendly vietnamese ladies I met there

Beautiful and unique view you can find there. There is a boat tour for river view. Best to come when river is at low level, in high water season you will see nothing.

Amazing place Like we are in a space. Hot weather,u should have hat or umbrella for protect your skin And don’t forget comfortable shoes.

Truly one of the wonders along the Mekong!!! Highly recommend to take a longtail boat from Had Salung nearby (1,000 baht for the boat, up to 12 people) to really appreciate this part of the river and the different areas around. Come either really early in the morning (6am-8am) or after 4pm to avoid the scorching sun. A must visit!

This is one of those out of your way type attractions to go to. Out of all the views in Thailand, this one is just mediocre at best. Of course, I'm biased, but let me explain that this was one of the last things I did in Thailand before going back to Bangkok. Meaning, before I went here I was in Phuket, Krabi, Koh Phi Phi, Phang Nga, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Let me get to the experience for you. We arrived via car, and immediately went to go get lunch at the only restaurant in the area. After lunch, we were joined by another family and rented a truck to go the ~1km down the cliff, and to the start of the hiking area. The hike was guided, and the guide would explain to you the different pools and holes. S/he would take you to specific holes and tell you what they looked like. A heart, Mickey Mouse head and 800 shaped hole are to name a few. If you choose to do so, you could also hire a boat to go on a river cruise through the canyon area. That being said, perhaps my grading of 3 stars is a bit harsh in comparison to others that have been here, but I feel it realistic in the sense that if you were to ask, "Hey, I'm going to Thailand, should Ubon be high on my list?" My response would be: "Only if you have enough time, like exploring and it is not your first trip to Thailand." I do not feel that this is a place that you should really go out of your way for. But is it worth experiencing? Yes, that is the short answer. Decide for yourself whether you like it or not. I would never say don't do something, if you asked if you should try it. The better question would be "Do you think I will like it?" My answer to that is, the novelty of the place will wear away quickly.

There is a choice of walking to the boulders or taking a ride in a pick up which will cost 200 THB for a round trip. There is some climbing involved so be careful. Once at the rocks there are guilds for hire. The famous formation are Mickey mouse which was easy to find, Heart and number 800.

Love this place. Was really amazed by all the rock formation and very grateful such place exists in this country. I feel like it has such high potential for tourism to really develop but maybe nobody cares enough to promote it? Still lovely and quiet the way it is though so maybe it is a blessing.

Sam Pan Bok (Thai: สามพันโบก) is known as the "Grand Canyon of Thailand" and is the biggest rock reef in the Mekong River region. Sam Phan Bok translates as 3,000 shallow lakes and is a fascinating sightseeing spot with countless photo opportunities also great for Drone pilots.

Ancient stupa near the Laos border. Now it is fully restored it has nice structures. Many devotees visit this place for meditation and chanting.

Historical site of an ancient stupa which has been restored over time. While there do also visit the informative museum within the temple grounds.

It's a beautiful temple to visit. Visitors and locals pray inside the Chedi area.

The iconic ancient historical pagoda looked stunning in the night. Everyone arriving would come here first and walking 3 times in clockwise direction around the pagoda to pay respects. So don't miss this site. If you've never been to the place, that means you never really visit Nakhon Phanom. By the way it's quite convenient to travel by several alternative transportation options.

Ancient stupa which has been rebuilt to show its former beauty. Large Buddhist temple with much to view

I came here at the evening. Not too busy. Perfect temperature, clear sky. Very nice temple. A few years ago people would leave little Buddha statues at a particular place there but it seems they don't do that anymore.

Nice location with much traffic. We walked in for a pray. Beautifull. 🙏

A nice and somewhat easy to reach viewpoint in Mukdahan. Entrance fee for foreigners is 50 bath and there’s a small museum on the ground floor and second floor and the you got the viewpoint area at level 5. It’s a good place to go see and you have beautiful view at the Mekong River, Laos and Mukdahan city.

This tower is an old-fashioned museum, stuck in the past. It costs 50 baht to get in if you're on your own, not 30. The viewing area has binoculars, but you have to pay extra to use them, and half of them are broken. The window tinting is really bad. The staff just don't care. Honestly, the tower is more depressing than entertaining. I liked the small park outside more than the tower itself.

City tower to see the city from 360 angle. The tower has been built long time ago, it may not that fancy compared to other brand-new built tower but it is the symbol of the city and it is still worth to visit. Tucket to enter 30 thb per person, free visit for elderly aged above 60 years old with proof.

Great Views of Mukdahan from the observation deck. Sadly the 7th floor was closed , I walked up to The main observation deck, the lift has not been working for some time as I understand, however the walk up is really easy for your average person. Interesting exhibits and information, sadly not all in English, google translate 📸 with camera , very helpful 😊 Even though it’s a bit of a tired landmark in Mukdahan in need of updating, still worth a look 😊👍

Nice view over area from top About 250 steps until rondel and more 50 steps until dome (elevator out of work by the time we were there) - some stepper training but worth the view then! Get some nice view around the Mukdahan area over the river until Laos.

Lift was not working and the viewing area available is only until Floor number 2 . The rest of the tower is not open to public, as of writing, due to maintenance repair.

Ok its a Mukdahan landmark and has some museum pieces inside. I picked the wrong day to go - winds gusting to 50+kph. I got to the level 6 and I could feel it swaying. I got up some of the stairs and then heard the call to go down. Ha - chicken. Yep!

This wat has a very old part inside the main temple building with old Buddha figures but can only be entered by male population. It's interesting to see the old building techniques using brick and mortar. It's nice that they left it bare so we can see it. Other than that there isn't much to see or do except give offerings and pray for good fortune. 🙏

Beautiful old temple to visit. I really enjoyed my time here and would really recommend a stop if you're in town.

One of the most stunning temple presentations we have seen in all of Thailand. There are 41,000 temples and only few are outsanding like this one

Most famous Wat in the city centre of Sakhon Nakhon, the main hall is beautiful inside.

The area of this temple grounds dates back hundreds of years. Unfortunately all the shade trees have been removed & no wooden historical structures are left. The wat is best to view at night- very magical.

Amazing temple complex shining bright in the middle day sun.

A must to visit, peaceful mind and cleanliness. Free Parking lot.

Very interesting place. I was not aware that Thailand had it's own individual species of dinosaurs exclusive to this region.

We visited the dinosaur museum in Kalasin and had a really great time. It’s an impressive place with a lot to see and learn, especially for kids who love dinosaurs. The exhibitions are interesting and there’s a lot of history packed into the museum. You can tell it’s been there a while, though – some parts are starting to look a bit worn and could use some maintenance. Still, the overall experience was absolutely worth it. After the museum, we walked up the hill behind it to visit a beautiful temple at the top. The view from up there is fantastic and adds something extra to the whole trip. If you’re in the area, I’d definitely recommend stopping by. It’s a fun and educational outing with a nice mix of nature, culture, and prehistoric adventure.

A good place for dinosaur lovers! Probably the best in the SEA region. Big enough with lots of exhibits of skeletons and fossils of ancient animals. However, some exhibits are broken or not well kept, so not in a good shape. The excavation site, up the hill, is interesting and not to be missed.

Very informative museum. Defiantly work the trip. Lots of displays. Was really impressed at the level of detail, quality and visual appearance. Alot of the displays are in thai, but Google translate helps. Also walk up to dig sit is also worth it.

The museum is very nice! But why I need paid 150 baht??? I stay work here as a Teacher for 9 years have a Pink card and Working permit but still pay as a Tourist! A retirement men and people who travel can pay easy. It's very bad why need to pay full price not same as local. Anyway Kalasin is always a nice place.

The Sirindhon Museum in Kalasin province offers a fantastic educational experience for all ages. This museum provides insight into fossils, particularly dinosaur fossils, and the methods used to preserve them. Children, especially those in primary school, will be fascinated by the diverse range of dinosaur species on display, making it difficult to leave this captivating place. It's a source of wonder and discovery that goes beyond traditional knowledge found in textbooks or libraries. Established by HRH Princess Sirindhon, the museum is a highly recommended destination that focuses on educational enrichment for both children and adults. We had a wonderful time at the museum. Definitelt a Mus-See attraction , when you stay in Kalasin. Kudos kalasin!

Not to recommend for foreigners, as they have to pay the triple price for a ticket! Thai perst is 50 Bath entrance fee and for foreigners 150 Bath. Even with a WP and pink Thai identity card, they'll charge the triple price! Very sad as it could be interesting and something I usually would like to support with my hard earned money. Tourismus friendly should be different in my opinion!

Beautiful smaller temple located in between some of the main temples in Khon Kaen. The temple ground were under renovation when I visited but the temples itself are still a beauty to behold. Worth paying a visit and spending 10-15 minutes here

Wat Nong Waeng Phra Aram Luang is a famous temple in Khon Kaen province and is recognized as a royal temple. It’s a large temple with many parking lot available for visitors. Tourists are expected to dress modestly and respectfully, ensuring shoulders and knees are covered. Women are not allowed to wear short skirts above the knee or sleeveless tops. Before entering the pagoda, which houses sacred relics, all visitors are required to remove their shoes. The temple provides cloth bags for carrying shoes inside, as theft has occurred in the past. Visitors are advised to place their shoes in the provided bags and carry them while exploring the pagoda. The ground floor of the pagoda serves as a space for making merit and features several donation boxes. The interior is intricately decorated and visually stunning. Tourists can also climb to the top of the pagoda, which has nine floors in total. The stairs are steep, so caution is advised. From the ninth floor, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Khon Kaen city.

This is my 2nd time here and it is one of the most beautiful temples in Khon Kaen. There is a stair access to the 9 levels of pagoda but it might be too steep for some people. It was very crowded when we visited.

One of my favourite Temples in Thailand and definitely in the city of Khon Kaen. This Temple is a Khon Kaen land mark and tourist destination. It hosts 9 levels each with artworks, artefacts, shrines, and information much like a museum. Each level represents the ascension to enlightenment and there is a 360 degree view of the surrounding city on every level. The ground floor is the main floor where locals come to greet the monks and pray. I really like this Temple because of its beautiful architecture and surrounding grounds, the view of the city from each level, the artworks, artefacts and information scattered all around. Artworks include paintings that depict traditional every day Thai life, correct behaviour as taught by the scriptures as well as the story of the life of the The Buddha carved into the doors and window shutters. It is easy to spend a whole day here getting lost wandering around discovering new area's while viewing the surrounding city from one of the best vantage points in Khon Kaen.

Wat Nong Wang (วัดหนองแวง) is Khon Kaen city’s biggest, most important temple, and also its one must-see tourist attraction. It was founded in 1789, the same year the city was settled, though there are no old buildings left. It became a royal temple in 1984. About 55 monks and 225 novices live here. It’s ordinary in most regards, except for the stunning nine-story Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon, a stupa unlike any other in Thailand. Many of the links below take you to other articles explaining the art in detail. Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon The ground floor is open 6am-5pm and floors 2-9 are open 8am-4.30pm. Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon stupa was built to celebrate both the king’s golden jubilee (celebration of 50 years on the throne) and the two hundredth birthday of Khon Kaen city. It is 50m long on the side and 80m tall and has nine floors because he was King Rama 9. Construction was started in 1990 and it was inaugurated in 1996. The idea for the stupa came from the highly respected Luang Paw Koon Kantigo, the then abbot. The design was inspired by the Eiffel Tower and the Shwedagon Pagoda, both of which he saw while travelling. The most important of the abbot’s ideas, however, is the stupa’s curved shape, chosen to be that made by a hanging fishing net – called a catenary curve in physics. People’s ashes are kept in the stupas at each of the four corners and the naga-topped wall around the stupa. Before construction, when this area was still rice field, a naga came to tell a high-ranking monk in a dream that there was a naga breathing hole where the stupa was going to be built. So, the stupa was built about 10m from the original intended location and these naga were incorporated into the design. The shape of the top part of the stupa was inspired by Phra That Kham Kaen stupa (notice the redented corners) north of the city and has a golden-colored vine pattern similar to that on the very important Phra That Phanom stupa in Nakhon Phanom province. Ground Floor The temple’s center of activity is the stupa’s ground floor, which has a Buddha relic inside a chamber with a nine-spired roof. Next to it is a life-like resin statue of Luang Paw Koon Kantigo, the previous abbot (Unusual, because these are normally made after an abbot has died, but this one was put here many years before.), and in the back is a copy of the Chinnarat Buddha (from Phitsanulok); two copies of Phra Kaew (the Emerald Buddha), one green and one orange; and a baby Buddha. They are facing west, rather than the usual east, because the original Chinnarat Buddha also faces west. Along the northern wall is a table with 108 alms bowls (for donating 108 coins) and another full of daily Buddhas. The number 108 was important in ancient India and so it is found in many Buddhist stories, most importantly the 108 signs of perfection to show that he was the Buddha – this is also why there are often 108 symbols on the soles of many large Buddha footprints.

The main Temple of Khonkaen called Wat - Nong - Wang (in Thai). There is 9 floor with closely pyramid shape. All decoration is very Thai, which beautiful, charming and richy by the golden colour of gold. The activity is walk around the floor then step up to the top of temple. The location is beside of kaennakorn swamp that very massive impress by the top view from the top of Nongwang temple.

As a non believer I can review just the multi storey building. Once you get the last floor you will see an amazing 360 degrees view. The stairs are not easy to climb because the steps are high and narrow.

A world class football arena. We came to visit the interior of the stadium when no game was hosted. It’s an unique experience to explore the unseen parts of a stadium.

By far, the best football stadium in Thailand. It usually has a superb crowd who are very knowledgeable and make a lot of noise. If you want to see a really good game of football, I suggest you visit the stadium. It also does tours and has food courts, and an interesting park nearby

Chang Arena: A New Dimension of Football and Lifestyle Experience Chang Arena, located in Buriram Province, stands out not only as one of Thailand's most beautiful and internationally-standard football stadiums but also as a comprehensive hub for travel, accommodation, and surrounding attractions.

Big stadium in Buriram, owned by Buriram United. It has quite good facilities such as hotel, large parking area, and merchandise mega store. It is located in the same complex as the Thunder Castle heritage building. So you can feel unique experinece while visiting this place

Got taken into the stadium where the fans sit. Two minutes later the guide (who never talked to me) told me it was time to leave. I asked about seeing the dressing rooms which he said no at first but then when I explained it's part of the tour, he quickly ushered me in and out. Came to Buriram just for the stadium tour and it was over within literally 5 minutes. So disappointing.

This place is fantastic! Really enjoyed our tour of the rooms and facilities. We have now been to quite a few football matches there, the atmosphere is electric and the chanting, music, and drums are incredible! The home team has a HUGE following, the visiting teams are usually met with an almost deathly silence 🤫 😆

Brilliant team and a brilliant stadium. I went to my first game last night and it was amazing. Cannot wait to go again

Worth the climb to see the Buddha and views, the walk down to the crater wasn't really worth it to be honest. I may have missed some bits to see though? There are refreshments at the bottom and top, which are pretty standard, plus some other stalls down the bottom. I round advise not climbing this in yhe midday sun! You can ride scooter up but road was closed when I visited.

Nice views once you have walked up the stairs. Moderate climb to get there. Maybe a little run down. There’s some souvenir shops and clean amenities on top near the monument. Some construction going on, could be more viewing platforms being added.

Nice park with a nice view at boedha, is on een old volcano, drive up, park walk around, the doing some maintenance but entrance is free and a nice park

Apart from the volcano and Buddha statue, there wasn't much to see. There was a lot of construction when I went. There's an outdoor café near the Buddha statue that's worth visiting.

Giant Buddha, the respectable Buddha of Buriram people, is located on the top of the hill. You can go there by driving or walking up the stairs. Sightseeing the town from there, playing a local slide called Si Lai Der (warning : if the slide is wet, it goes too fast), walking through a long bridge, visiting a huge lagoon and a volcano entrance. Great place to visit.

Fabulous views across buriram,the monument of Buddha is beautiful looking over buriram..we got a bus up to the monument and to the bridge for the volcano.it was very hot and humid but worth the visit..we had noodles 🍜 soup and cola at a restaurant at the bottom and it was the best noodles 🍜 soup I've had in Thailand in 2 weeks, aroy mak mak 😊.

This is a nice place to visit, very peaceful. The steps up to the monument aren't too bad, but if you are unable to walk, you can drive to the top. We also walked around the road and to the suspension bridge over the volcano. If you are thirsty or hungry, there are plenty of small stores/restaurants at the bottom and a couple at the top.

"Experience the timeless beauty of Phimai – preserving the glory of an ancient civilization." Phimai Historical Park, located in Phimai District, Nakhon Ratchasima, is one of Thailand’s most significant historical sites. Built around the 11th–12th centuries, during the era of an ancient civilization in the region, it served as an important center for Mahayana Buddhism. The main sanctuary, crafted from white sandstone, features intricate carvings that reflect the exceptional skill and artistry of craftsmen from the past. The park is well-maintained, with clean, shaded walkways ideal for strolling and photography. Informative signs provide visitors with valuable insights into the architecture, history, and cultural significance of the site. Visitors are encouraged to follow park guidelines, avoid touching ancient structures, and show respect to help preserve its authenticity. Visiting Phimai is more than sightseeing — it is an opportunity to connect with history and support the preservation of a priceless cultural heritage. The peaceful atmosphere combined with the grandeur of the ancient architecture makes it an inspiring destination for those who value history and conservation. Phimai Historical Park is a must-visit for anyone exploring Nakhon Ratchasima — offering knowledge, enjoyment, and a deeper appreciation of Thailand’s rich past.

Phimai Temple (Prasat Hin Phimai) is one of the largest and most important Khmer temples in Thailand, renowned for its grand scale, exquisite carvings, and unique role as a Buddhist sanctuary built during the Khmer Empire. Located in Nakhon Ratchasima province, Phimai was constructed between the 11th and 12th centuries and served as a major religious and cultural hub at the end of the ancient highway that connected it directly to Angkor. Unlike many Khmer temples, which were dedicated to Hindu deities, Phimai was built as a Mahayana Buddhist temple, reflecting the spiritual diversity of the Khmer world. Highlights of Phimai Temple Architecture: The temple complex stretches over 1,000 by 600 meters, making it the largest Khmer site in Thailand. Its central sanctuary, built of white sandstone, is adorned with intricate lintels and pediments depicting both Hindu and Buddhist themes. Symbolism: The layout follows the Khmer cosmic plan, with the central prang representing Mount Meru, the axis of the universe. Interestingly it is one of the only Khmer temples to face south. Unique Identity: While its style resembles Angkor Wat, Phimai predates it by nearly a century and stands out for its explicitly Buddhist dedication.

That's amazing! The weather was lovely, perfect for a leisurely walk around the spacious 100-rai property. The grounds are beautifully preserved, with different rooms showcasing the architecture. At the back, there’s a massive tree believed to be over 400 years old. Admission: 200 baht for foreigners, 20 baht for Thai nationals, and free for children under 12. Parking: Available near the entrance, fits around 15 cars. Museum: Air-conditioned and pleasantly cool inside. Restrooms: Very clean. It’s absolutely worth bringing children to experience and appreciate ancient Khmer art. A truly valuable and worthwhile visit! ❤️🙏

I love these ancient temples. This one doesn't disappoint and is very impressive. You can tell that there has been a lot of effort put into it and I think more restoration and access to closed off areas would enhance the place more.

Phimai Historical Park is a truly amazing and worthwhile visit, often compared to a more peaceful version of Angkor Wat. This beautiful example of Khmer architecture is a must-see for anyone in the region. The 200 Baht ticket is great value, granting you access to the park's well-preserved structures. While the park is generally open until 6:00 PM daily, be sure to check for special events or festivals, as these can include extended evening hours for unique experiences like a light-and-sound show.

The Architecture is remarkable, though parts of the site are poorly lit in the night. The cultural show is phenomenal. Highly recommended.

absolutely fantastic if you're in this area- go there! beautiful park with a gorgeous Khmer Tempel well worth visiting 🙏

Wonderful traditional Thai massage spa for health, fitness and wellness. Extremely professional, clean, comfortable and friendly. Highly knowledgeable staff. Surpassed my expectations and left me feeling relaxed and refreshed wanting more. Definitely do not pass this experience by. The owner is a highly respected, experienced professional with much knowledge to share.

My fav place! Highly recommended if you need a proper massage very professional and friendly people!

Upscale and professional massage shop. Classy operation and I have been very satisfied with the massage ladies here... A little more expensive than the average streetside walk in massage parlours but we'll worth it for the quality of the service you receive...

Had a great visit with my family while in town for a couple days. Two of us had foot massages and two got Thai massage. All were good. My Thai massage was especially good. I used google translate to let them know my right knee is injured. They gave it some extra careful attention. Rather than just avoiding that area, they helped me to heal. The end of the massage included some delicious tea and fruit. Overall it was a great visit.

Had whole body massage with the herbal ball! It's exactly the kind of massage I have been dreaming of for years. The best service ever! Felt relaxed after my massage. Very friendly staff, everyone was nice! They are very accommodating!! Will definitely go back ❤

Place is very nice and the staff very service minded. A bit more pricy than other places but you do get a very nice atmosphere and a spotless clean place. Unfortunately, the massage (Thai/Oil) was only average.

I was a student of 60-hour-Thai message course between 12-19 February 2025. This school’s teachers were very excellent in their knowledge and expertise. Also they were very attentive to teaching me, I felt like I almost got 1-1 lessons all the time, and I learned a lot during that course. I recommend studying traditional Thai message here both in Thai and in English.

A revered place for Thai people to celebrate a warrior woman who protected Korat from Lao invaders.

A nice area, set by the historic city moat and reconstructed West Gate of possible 17th century origin under King Narai the Great. An elegant modern statue of the celebrated Governor's wife under HM King Rama III, credited with a saviour's role in thwarting Anouvong's invasion 200 years ago. The events doomed the Vientiane Laotian kingdom as a last vestige of Laan Sang on the Korat Plateau and cemented Isaan into Siam, for which it has much to be thankful.

Important monument in Korat city. When u been Korat until you’ve paid respect to Grandma Mo also known Ya Mo (as Suranaree is known locally). At night really peaceful and Monday - Sunday Open 24 hours . The recommend to visit and pay respect .

Quite crowded even though it is mid afternoon. Many Thai people are offering their prayers to this great heroine!

1) Cleanliness, But not have Geal alcohol in the area. 2) Service is normal, staff was friendly, welcoming, attended a bit your special request if you had any. 3) Floor is really good and clean but i'd request for have some clean toilet would be great 🙏 4) Atmosphere great, is it a family place good for a date, But not for business. 5) Price is for flowers is 20-100thb, to pray for make a Merits Ya Moh. I Would you recommend dont miss this great place if you visit in Nakornratchasima province.🗽

Interesting monument. It will be very crowded since it fits right on the street. Parking is almost difficult to do it's better to use a taxi to the monument and dropping you off and picking you up after you finish business way with Ya Mo. Everyone who travel to this city should go there pay the respect to Thao suranari monument for you blessful life, I recommend, at least one time of your whole life.

Monument of the city's heroine. Located in the city center, it's a must visit if you can spare the time.

If you like to picture with flower this place is for you. Parking are available at their parking area for both personal car and tourist bus.

Arrived and paid for the promotion price to get into the garden. Here is the place where you can take your time, feel the breeze , smell the scent of flowers blossom. Beautiful and perfect place to take pictures with flowers. There are trams offering shuttle services between zones. It only opens for one month a year, which is in December for tourists. Overall a pleasant experience and really enjoyable. December 2023

This farm is amazing. Not only beautiful flowers and rice fields you can take photos with, you can also learn the way of life of Northeastern 'Esan' Thai people. This place exhibits about the Thai rices and silks. You can learn the silkworm's circle of life and how people got the silk thread from the silkworm's cocoons.

A very nice place to visit as a couple or family. Lots of flowers and pretty scenery. There's a tram ride that takes you around the farm. You can get off the tram to take a picture and catch the next tram. Food inside the farm is very very expensive. I recommend getting lunch and snacks at the entrance. The ticket to get in is kinda pricey.

Big area to walk. We come in the morning around 11am and find that the place is a little too hot to enjoy walking around. There is quite a lots of variety of flower and plants in the farm but feels a little too artificial to be a real farm. More like a tourist attraction.

Nothing much here to explore. Stack of pumpkin hill for people to take photo. Area very big, need shuttle bus from point to point. There is no queue system for the shuttle bus, everyone will need to run and rush, saw family with elderly got hard time to get into the shuttle bus.

5 stars for this beautiful farm and amazing silk. 1 star for double standard in pricing rule and charge triple entry price for foriners. I found it very disappointing and discriminatory. Jim Thompson company has a global presence and should avoid this kind of practice

Beautiful park - pristine and well worth visiting. Be mindful that as a foreigner, you will need to pay the tourist price for entry (400 bhat). Not a big deal but worth noting. Also be mindful that there are a lot of unmarked speed bumps so keep an eye out for these. Highly recommended

The National park is very beautiful. A wide open large space with a road running all the way through it. On our visit we didn’t get to see elephants but we saw large healthy dear and monkeys carrying babies. There are amazing view points and also camping points. You can also drive right through the park to an amazing waterfall. A very worthwhile visit. 40 Bhat for local people and 300 Bhat for foreigners. Still money worth spending.

Huge national park with many interesting animals. I'd recommend to book a safari with a guide, because otherwise you might drive/walk straight past the most interesting things without even noticing. Also you are not allowed to walk into the jungle on your own, which makes sense because although beautiful it can also be dangerous. Also make sure you bring insect spray and leech protection socks. And don't forget to respect nature.

Beautiful place with lots of wildlife. Although it was a very short wildlife photography trip for me, I got some wonderful photographs of wild elephant herd, sambar deers, barking deers, and pig-tailed macaques. Definitely coming back for a longer visit next time.

It's really worth a visit. Just watch out for wildlife if you were to drive after dawn. There are so many interesting spots, day and night, to enjoy the nature. If you are not really into camping, stay on the lower areas of the park. There are many fancy hotels and houses to choose from. More importantly, it's much easier to eat with varieties of foods. Just be aware that prices may be similar to Bangkok, or some places are even priceier.

We visit the khao yai national Park yesterday I search on khao yai national Park website the entry fees for foreigners is 200 baht even on the Internet it says 200 baht but they charge us 400 baht per person we are the group of many people so it become double the price that what we expected this is very disappointed Dual pricing scam for expats 40thb for Thai 400thb for foreigners even if you have a work permit ranger staff at the entrance told us to leave if we aren't happy paying 10 times more than locals. This is the worst experience and worst attitude we faced and we didn't see much wildlife in day time At night safari we see some but it's not worth it to pay 10× extra for that

I really enjoyed our nature trip! The views were stunning, the air was fresh, and it felt so relaxing to be surrounded by nature.

An Absolutely Unforgettable Farm Experience – We’re Already Dreaming of Our Next Visit! WE MISS THOSE ADORABLE, FLUFFY SHEEP SO MUCH! 🐑💕 Khao Yai has many farms, but this one is SPECIAL – where else can you actually STEP INSIDE a sheep barn and have dozens of eager, woolly friends munching right from your hands?! The joy is absolutely contagious! Here’s how to MAXIMIZE THE FUN (driver tips included!): ✨ **Start at the museum** (2 floors of quirky farm history – way more interesting than it sounds!) ✨ Speed through the "12 zodiac animals" – save your snacks because the REAL excitement comes later! ✨ SHEEP FEEDING TIME!** 🎉 Your driver can take you straight to the sheep & flower farm – prepare for sheer delight as soft noses nuzzle your palms! (Pro tip: Hold the food high unless you want an overeager sheep attempting a cuddle!) ✨ Bunny paradise awaits! The rabbit feeding area is MAGICAL – they’ll hop right up to you, twitching noses and all! ✨ Don’t miss cow milking – it’s hilariously hands-on and perfect for photos! This isn’t just for kids – we adults were squealing with joy the entire time!** Between the flower fields, giggling at greedy goats, and being mobbed by sweet sheep, this farm delivers PURE HAPPINESS. 10/10 would feed sheep again – see you soon, fluffy friends! 🌈🐇🐄 🐑

Tickets are 120฿ per person — drive your own car in and explore 4 main spots between 1:30–3:30 PM. • Stop 1 is mainly for feeding animals (not photo-friendly and requires extra fee). • Stop 2 is a stunning flower field with wide open skies and constant cool breeze — perfect for photos (but bring a hat, it’s sunny!). • Stop 3 is where you can feed adorable animals. A basket of treats (milk bottles, veggies, etc.) costs 140฿ and is more than enough. After that, cool down with their 99฿ coconut ice cream cone (topped with beans!) — super refreshing, but melts fast in the wind. • There are also 4 daily buffalo shows — free to watch, though it gets crowded and hard to snap a clear pic.

The farm has four exploration points. First, you get to explore a big field and interact with the sheep. You can also feed them. Second, you explore a field of colorful flowers. Third, you can milk cows, interact with rabbits, sheep, and geese, and play fun mini-games. You can also rent a bike to go around. Fourth, it is a museum where you can learn about cowboy culture and the Thai forest. Their ice cream is delicious. It has a soft gelato-like consistency and not-too-sweet flavors.

First time to Pak Chong and Farm Chok Chai was a highlight and my family loved it very much!! Huge Sunflower farm and feeding animals were nice and really made us come close to nature! Special indeed.

One of the historic farm in Thailand. We have visited this place during our journey back to Bangkok. With just 120 Baht per person we drove thru the farm by our car. We also ordered a "recommended" hamburger menu that in my idea was a bit overpriced (410 Baht) taken into account the quality and quantity compared to what usually we get in Europe.

Visited in December 2024 for a family trip. It is a very big farm. Paid for entrance to drive in with our driver. The drive is just a small loop. Went in the afternoon as my driver said that's the time he could bring us there. Totally wrong. I suggest you go in the early morning. No cowboy show during my visit. Just some sheep and cows. They will display 2 dairy cows for you to try milking but you need to pay. So be prepared to pay at every station. I can't even go around the farm on their tractor because they claimed my ticket was not included. I wasn't even sure what was included in my ticket as I can't speak or understand Thai. I just paid what I was told and went for it. I spent only 30 minutes there and I left. A total waste of time. It only looks fantastic on advertisements but the real thing doesn't match up at all. There are better ones.

I’ve been coming to this place for many years. Chokchai burgers are fresh & juicy, the meat is delicious, recently I’m skipping the buns. The staff in the little booth is always very friendly and helpful. I’m looking forward to my next stopover

Very nice waterfall in rain seizon very strong and big, to walk there is not for beginners, at the end there is a steep stairs

One of the best waterfalls I have seen. Stillness before the cliff. Once at the cliff, water flows down with great strength. Its so steep and dangerous that elephants have died. Barriers are built to prevent the elephants from going too near to the waterfall. Its a must see when in Khao Yai. The final stretch come with relatively steep steps. So take extra caution.

Beautiful waterfall @Khaoyai. To enjoy this beautiful waterfall you need to climb hundreds of very steep stairs. There isn't too many people during the weeks. It is worth the trip to enjoy this beautiful nature.

Pls be prepared for the flight of stairs down and up to the viewing platform. It is amazing and I even ran into a herd of elephants head on and it was amazing. Don’t be held back by a thb 400 and thb 30 fee. Just go and self drive. Road is safe. Oh this part of road is only opened from 6am-6pm.

Great way to explore the nature. About 1km walk from the entrance. Can observe trees and some small wild animals during the way. The walk path is easy to moderate and very steep stairs when getting close to the waterfall. The waterfall itself is great and there was a lot of water during rainy season.

Be here rainy season it’s a lot of water. Looks amazing. The way to waterfall easy to walk but has a lot of stairs it took around 30-40min by foot. Very stunning waterfall

Biggest waterfall I've ever seen! But be aware of some things: 1. You have to walk for a while to get there and there are MANY steps (you also have to walk back again, so only go there if you feel fit enough) 2. Due to the height of the waterfall, there is a lot of humidity in the air. If you stand right next to the waterfall, you will get very wet. Make sure you only bring clothing that can get wet 3. There are a lot of dangerous animals right next to the foot path (we saw a tarantula and some poisonous snakes) so stay on the path or bring a local guide.

Absolutely incredible experience at PB Valley! I ordered the braised beef and a calamari side, and both dishes were out of this world. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich in flavour, and perfectly balanced. The calamari was fresh, crispy, and a great complement to the meal. The restaurant is set right in a beautiful vineyard, which adds to the charm. Our group, though we didn’t drink, bought a bunch of grape juices — and they were excellent. Everyone was happy with the food, and I also tried my friend’s roasted chicken, which was delicious. The atmosphere was warm, and the service attentive and friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough — if you’re in Khao Yai, make sure PB Valley is on your list!

Very charming winery with a lovely view restaurant. Moderate prices for great food and yummy wine. Nice gift shop and can buy wine and spirits there. Locally made products. The staff is friendly and attentive. Had no time for wine tour but will be back. Easy parking. Lovely mountains with water views of vineyard.

The vineyard is a gem in the Khaoyai National Park. Beautifully landscaped with several out buildings including an excellent restaurant. We also did the wine tasting. I would definitely recommend it.

Truly a new experience. Joined their 350 baht wine tour at 09.15 am time. Got to see their vineyard, grape picking, and the production line. You can also got 3 glass of wine tasting. Very worth it !

Visited PB Valley Winery in Khao Yai last Saturday. The place has a great ambiance surrounded by beautiful greenery. As it’s off-season, there weren’t many grapes on the vines, but our guide explained everything perfectly about the vineyard and wine-making process. If you enjoy nature and a calm, peaceful environment, it’s definitely worth a visit.

We have afternoon meal at restaurant, atmosphere & food are excellence. Very good thing is that it has no break between lunch and dinner.

We missed the last tour but had a lovely time dining on the restaurant. All food tasted great! Ambience is perfect. We had a lovely time. Don’t miss out on their fresh grape juice too! 🍇

Worth to spend a day specially for kids. Much more cleanness needed by authorities near and around animal cages & living area. International buffet good for Thai & Chinese cushion only. Inside every fun activities are sold for tickets. Thats ok for funding. But flexibility is essential as money is not everything. 95% Staff attentive for all events are the best human resources there. Very active & innovative. One of Asian pride 👑️ Sawasdee🙏

Safari World is a fun place to spend a day, especially if you enjoy animal shows and light adventure. We were able to watch the Spy War, dolphin, and sea lion shows, and each one had its own entertaining moments. The bus tour was also a nice way to see different animals up close without too much effort. One of the highlights was feeding the giraffes, which was simple but memorable. The weather was good, so lunchtime wasn’t too hot, and there were shaded spots to rest. Just be ready for a lot of walking since the park is quite wide. Overall, it’s a good experience for families and friends who want a mix of shows, animals, and easy sightseeing.

Safari World Bangkok is a fun-filled, family-friendly adventure! 🐯🦒🚗 The drive-through safari was an unforgettable experience — lions, zebras, giraffes, and more, roaming freely around your car. The Marine Park is packed with entertaining shows — from dolphins and sea lions to cowboy stunts and Hollywood action. It’s well-organized, clean, and perfect for kids and adults alike. Food options are good, and there are plenty of shady spots to relax. Highly recommended for a full day of wildlife and fun.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience at Safari World & Marine Park, Bangkok We had an amazing experience, especially at the Marine Park — all the shows were absolutely fantastic! Most shows happen twice a day, so plan your visit accordingly to make the most of it. Every show is worth your time and perfect for families. For better ticket prices, book through Agoda or other online travel portals — they usually offer great discounts. If you plan to visit Safari World, note that you can either drive your own car through the park or pay 100 Baht per person for the safari bus (in addition to the admission ticket). The safari itself takes about 30 minutes — it’s nice but don’t expect the kind of up-close tiger encounters you might see in promotional pictures. If you’ve booked a ticket with lunch included, you’ll enjoy a buffet meal at one of their restaurants. The lunch was really good — they had separate counters for vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, which we appreciated. For feeding animals, the prices vary from 100–300 Baht depending on the animal. Restrooms are available at many places inside the park, which is convenient. A small tip — bottled water (500 ml) inside costs around 30 Baht, so it’s better to carry your own bottle. You can refill it during the buffet lunch. They played 2-3 indian songs during dolphin show. Overall, don’t pay too much attention to negative reviews — it’s truly one of the best one-time experiences you can have in Bangkok, especially for families and kids. Highly recommended! 🌿🦒🐬

We went on a group tour. Well this place is good for children and adults with 4 different shows that happen everyday (chimpangee, dolphin, sealion and elephant show). It takes you whole day. Giraffe feeding was 200 bhat each and taking a picture with eagle was 400 bhat each. We were fed indian buffet lunch(not recommended). We eneded up eating outside the buffet as it was very much unorganized. The resturants are all animal themed. The safari world is where you drive with you van or car inside a protected area. We did not enjoy it. However we got to see tiger, bear and more animals. The zoo was supercrowded as many tour groups and students from school were there when we visited. An okish experience.

My recent visit to Safari World Bangkok was, without a single doubt, one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Thailand. From the moment we arrived, the excitement was palpable, and the entire experience far exceeded our already high expectations. This isn't just an attraction; it's a full-day immersion into the wonders of the animal kingdom, brilliantly split into two distinct and thrilling sections. We began our adventure with the iconic Safari Park drive-through. It felt surreal to be driving through expansive landscapes with majestic giraffes gracefully wandering past our windows, herds of zebras and antelope grazing peacefully, and powerful lions lounging just a few meters away. It was like being transported directly to the heart of an African savanna, all while being in Bangkok. The animals appeared healthy, active, and well-cared-for in their spacious enclosures. After the drive, we entered the Marine Park, which is a vibrant hub of activity. The shows here are nothing short of spectacular. The Dolphin Show was a beautiful display of agility and intelligence, while the Spy War stunt show had our entire group on the edge of our seats with its high-octane action and incredible special effects. However, the most magical moments were the interactive encounters. Feeding the gentle giraffes, who eagerly yet politely took lettuce leaves right from our hands, was a heartwarming and unforgettable experience that we captured in countless photos. The park is impeccably clean, the pathways are well-signposted, and the staff are consistently friendly and helpful. We spent a solid eight hours here and still felt like we could have seen more. Safari World has masterfully created a perfect blend of education, conservation, and pure, unadulterated entertainment. It is worth every baht and every minute of your time. I cannot recommend it highly enough for families, couples, and solo travelers alike—it’s a true gem and a must-visit destination in Bangkok

A wonderful place with many animals to see, including tigers, zebras, and many more. The Terrest Giraffe experience is definitely worth it, but do note there’s an additional charge. And don’t miss the dolphin show, it’s absolutely fantastic! You can get all the tickets on the Klook app.

The Chatuchak Market is the largest open-air market in Bangkok, so prepare for a lot of walking. The location is accessible by train, making it fairly easy to get there. There is no fee to get in and the market has different areas dedicated to specific items such as art or clothing. Scattered throughout are food stalls and other shops. I spent 4 hours here and was able to get through most of the market.

Chatuchak Weekend Market is an absolute must-visit in Bangkok! 🛍️ From trendy clothes and handmade crafts to delicious Thai street food, you can find almost everything here. The market is huge — make sure to wear comfy shoes and stay hydrated! 💦 The vibe is lively, the locals are friendly, and every corner is full of surprises. A perfect spot to shop, eat, and soak up the Bangkok atmosphere. 😍

I have been to Chatuchak Market many times over the years and every time I go I find something new or a section I haven't visited before. It's a very very big market and definitely worth a visit. They sell everything from clothes to kitchen wear, Hilltribe arts and crafts to furniture and antiques. There is so much more too this place but if you are looking for presents to take home or a great experience in Bangkok then it is a great option. Oh and there are lots of places to eat and drink as well. Just a two minute walk from the BTS station Mo Chit and the MRT station Suan Chatuchak.

This market mostly is of antiques or thrift clothing items. Although there was many cool items personally a lot of the price points were similar to that a vintage markets back home in Canada. They were curated, but for me things were more expensive than I was willing to spend. Definitely worth checking out though. Bring a snack as there’s a lot of floors and you will be in there for hours.

Chatuchak Weekend Market is an unmissable experience for anyone visiting Bangkok. Open only on weekends, this massive market is a true maze where you’ll happily get lost among thousands of stalls. Here you can find everything: traditional Thai clothing, all the most famous brands in surprisingly convincing “fake” versions, unique antiques, and an endless selection of incredibly cheap street food. One thing to remember: haggling is essential. Whatever you want to buy, negotiate—the price will drop dramatically, and it’s all part of the fun. The market is always very crowded, lively, and full of energy, making it a vibrant glimpse into local culture. Whether you’re shopping, tasting local bites, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, Chatuchak is definitely an experience you shouldn’t miss.

Shopping paradise and cultural experience! Chatuchak Weekend Market is massive and full of energy! From clothes, accessories, and souvenirs to unique home decor and street food, there’s something for everyone. The market is vibrant, colorful, and perfect for exploring local culture. Don’t forget to try some of the delicious Thai snacks while you shop. Bring comfy shoes and plenty of time — you’ll want to see it all! A must-visit for anyone in Bangkok.

Huge and amazing. Everything you could ever want is here. Trinkets, souvenirs, shoes, clothes, wallets, scarves, jerseys, household goods, bags and more. It is a barter situation so start lower than what they have marked, the more you get the better discount you'll get. Lots of delicious food stalls as well. It's absolutely huge so plan on spending some time here, many duplicate vendors but also many unique.

This shopping center features a unique design where each floor is decorated to reflect the culture and ambiance of a different country, creating an immersive and diverse shopping experience. For example, you might find one floor inspired by the vibrant streets of Tokyo, another capturing the charm of a Parisian boulevard, and yet another evoking the warmth of a Moroccan marketplace. The ground floor hosts a gourmet bazaar, offering a wide variety of fresh produce, specialty foods, and daily essentials to cater to your shopping needs. Additionally, the top floor is home to a state-of-the-art cineplex, perfect for enjoying the latest movies in a comfortable and modern setting.

Terminal 21 in Bangkok is truly a one-of-a-kind shopping and lifestyle destination! It’s not just a mall but an experience that lets you travel the world without leaving the building. The mall features an amazing selection of international and local brands, perfect for fashion lovers and casual shoppers alike. Each floor is designed based on a different country theme — from Tokyo and London to Paris, Istanbul, and San Francisco. The level of detail in the décor, architecture, and ambience is simply mind-blowing. It genuinely feels like you’re exploring different cities as you move between floors. One of the most talked-about highlights here is the washrooms! Each themed floor has beautifully designed restrooms that match the country’s concept — so creative and aesthetic that visitors often stop just to take pictures! On the ground floor, you’ll also find a lovely area where visitors can feed and interact with animals. They’re well maintained, friendly, and add a charming touch to the overall experience — especially if you’re visiting with family or kids. The mall conveniently opens up to the riverfront, from where you can board the famous dinner cruises and enjoy a breathtaking view of Bangkok at night. Overall, Terminal 21 is a must-visit — a perfect mix of shopping, sightseeing, and unique experiences all under one roof!

Having already been to the Terminal 21 in Pattaya, I was excited to visit the Bangkok location, and it did not disappoint. This is a thoroughly modern mall with all the shops you could ever need. ​The real highlight, however, is the incredible food court upstairs. What makes the mall so special is that each level is themed around a different global city, and these themes extend to the many places to eat and drink on every floor. It makes the entire shopping and dining experience unique and fun.

This shopping mall is really creative and worth a visit. Each floor is decorated to represent a different world destination, like London, Tokyo, or San Francisco, with details in the architecture and decor. It's a fun experience, almost like a tourist attraction itself. In addition to the wide variety of stores, it has a huge indoor food court (the famous Pier 21), which offers many food options. It's a great place to walk around, even if you're not planning to shop.

fun shopping mall! I love how each floor is designed like a different city – walking around feels like traveling the world in one place. The decorations are creative and make the whole experience unique compared to other malls in Bangkok. The highlight for me was definitely the food court on the top floor. The food is delicious, with so many local Thai dishes to try, and the prices are surprisingly cheap for a big mall. It’s a great spot if you want to taste different Thai foods without spending much. There are also plenty of shops, both international brands and small local boutiques, so you can easily spend a few hours here. Plus, the location is super convenient, right by the BTS and MRT.

The best place to go shopping if you’re near the sukhumvit area. I loved the themed floors and it has every big store you could want. also a great food court, Pier21!

Terminal 21 Asok offers a fantastic shopping experience – and the Pier 21 food court on the 5th floor takes the spotlight. With delicious Thai street food at unbeatable prices (around 20–40 Baht for meals, 20–30 Baht for fresh fruit smoothies) in a clean, air-conditioned environment, it’s a go-to for locals and tourists alike. One highlight is the juice point, where you can mix your favorite fruits into a refreshing smoothie for about 30–40 Baht—perfect for a quick, healthy recharge. Overall, the food court feels modern and organized, offering great value and variety, especially during less crowded times. A consistently good experience round out a pleasant visit to the mall.

As one of the most luxurious malls in central Bangkok, Siam Paragon is full of designer brands and has a very modern feel. It's a shame that many of the shops, like those selling home goods, are increasingly focused on Western products instead of offering more Thai or Asian-style items. ​Downstairs, there is a great supermarket with a food court. There is also a food area outside, but be careful where you buy from. We were charged 360 baht for two small sticky rice, which was quite expensive.

The food court has countless options. Exploring it was my favorite activity to do here. Loved every bit of exploring it. Want to go back here again & again. Gourmet market filled with various special items from around the world. Make you feel like you have gone out to world food tour.

Siam Paragon is the original premier luxury high end mall in Bangkok before the opening of the newer ICON Siam and One Bangkok. Facing stiff competition, it still remains a popular shopping destination for tourist and locals alike. There's plenty of food options and fashion brands and I find it easier to get to compared to ICON Siam, and there are plenty of other major shopping malls in its proximity if you are done shopping here. The mall is expansive, beautifully designed, and offers unique attractions such as luxury car displays featuring brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini. Additionally, it houses a diverse food hall, an aquarium on the basement level, and a gourmet supermarket. Visitors are unlikely to find themselves bored within this comprehensive shopping complex

🛍️✨ Siam Paragon – A World-Class Mall with Local Soul & Global Taste Siam Paragon has always been one of my favourite malls in Bangkok, and with its recent renovation and reorganization, it has truly elevated its appeal to both locals and tourists. What stands out most is the revamped layout of the designer label zones — now beautifully curated and easy to explore, making it feel like a seamless luxury walk-through. Whether you’re looking for fashion, beauty, or lifestyle, every section is now more organized, elegant, and spacious. 💎 But my personal highlight? Definitely the Gourmet Market and Gourmet Eats. 🛒 Gourmet Market is a treasure trove for both locals and visitors — you’ll find a fantastic range of Thai local products, premium groceries, fresh fruits, beauty items, wellness brands, and uniquely Thai snacks all under one roof.

They’ve gathered some of Thailand’s most celebrated restaurants — including Michelin-starred, Bib Gourmand, and legendary local names — into one convenient, clean, and beautifully designed space. Whether you’re craving traditional Thai, fusion dishes, or local street food served in air-conditioned comfort, you’ll be spoiled for choice here. ⸻ ✅ What I love about Siam Paragon: • Beautiful renovation with well-placed luxury zones • Easy access to both international brands and local favourites • Gourmet Market: the best place to shop for Thai goods and snacks • Gourmet Eats: dine like a foodie without hunting all over Bangkok 📍Whether you’re shopping for luxury labels or just soaking in the flavors of Thailand, Siam Paragon continues to impress — a true all-in-one destination.

This place is the most luxury mall I’ve ever been to and it feels like it just keeps going on forever. You go up one level and think that’s the top just to find there are 3 more levels. Incredible design work! Plus the food court is a huge plus - many many Michelin star restaurants inside!

A large mall in downtown Bangkok, clean and modern. Offering a variety of premium and high-end brands. I like the food court and restaurant area, the food has a lot of choices and is delicious.

It has all you need. Good for window shopping. Asia books and Kinokuniya are probably the sanctuary in the whole mall. Very noisy especially in the entrance hall and the outdoor stage. Full of tourists and teenagers. Most fashion items are new, rarely on sales and costly. Best to window shop here and buy online. BTS is the best way to commute. Parking space is time-wasting. You’d end up spending 30 mins up, 30 mins down in the parking zone.

Tops Supermarket is located on level G of MBK. Great selections of groceries. Both locally and import products are all around. They do have fresh bakeries and Arigato cafe at the front entrance too.

An easy place to shop. Large department store tops supermarket, lots to keep you busy, during this visit one thing I noticed everything’s price is up double from last year. This is so disappointing. It’s was one my favourite super shop in bangkok

Good supermarket located in MBK. Staff are nice and helpfull 🙂🙏🏻

Tops Supermarket is conveniently located at the MBK center. It is hidden amongst the pop-up stalls and situated at a corner of the shopping center. This big supermarket carries lots of groceries and household items. Bought yogurt drinks but one of them had turned sour. The packaging looks decent but do take care when consuming food/drinks.

MBK Shopping Mall is one of the most popular malls in Bangkok. Downstairs there is a large and good supermarket. Fresh fruits are sold here, I think this market is good and complete.

Top is my favorite spot ever but today the cashier is really uncomfortable for us. Why they can't smile a bit and make her face as mad on us.

Inside MBK Center, many various food, and halal food. There are praying room for muslim close to Tops Market and Food court

Word of advice Just save enough $ and book the room with club privileges. Truly money well spent when you get breakfast, High Tea, Happy hours, free food and cocktails. However the icing on the cake is not the freebies but the honour of meeting the team @ Club lounge: Candi, Kathy, Pop, Ben, Tech and Gosh. The Club Floor team epitomise the essence of Thai Service Culture. Friendly, Discreet and Respectful. On behalf of my family, please extend our gratitude to IHG for the wonderful experience.

Great location on the business area of BKK. Very convenient for travel, near BTS and MRT. Also near hospital and shopping center. The staffs are very nice and helpful. Front desks are welcome with warm and great manner. The room is clean and comfortable with many facilities provided. 24-7 Fitness and swimming pool are available. Breakfast is so delicious, the buffet lines are great with many choice of food.

Two night getaway from Singapore to Bangkok. Wasn't sure exactly where to stay, but as IHG Platinum this seemed like a good option. Turned out to be a great option! This is one of the better Crowne Plaza hotels in my experience. I used points to book a King Standard. They did not upgrade me (they apologized and offered a second welcome voucher). Even so, the room was spacious + comfortable + clean + quiet. Bathroom is large, with a separate bath and shower. Includes a Japanese style toilet. For whatever reason, I met many Japanese guests staying at this hotel. There happens to be an excellent Japanese restaurant on the 22nd floor, not able to charge to the room from there but it's well worth having your dinner there. Breakfast at Panorama offers a wide range of cuisine, including Western + Japanese + Korean stations. I visited Panorama again for ala carte lunch and TapIt for a pizza in the evenings. Would definitely return!

Came for business. The room is big, the bathroom is big with bathroom is big with bathtub. The location is good, near the MRT station and central park. Has multiple choices for breakfast. Oh, the coffee is great.

One of the most diverse breakfast spreads I've ever seen. Room had a great view and decent size. Location is perfect. Not much I could complain about really.

The Crowne Plaza in Bangkok. How should one judge this? Let's start with the room on the club floor. I received an upgrade to a small suite. Many thanks for that, because the room was very nice and clean! The staff were extremely friendly and thanked us five times for everything, even when they hadn't really understood us. This also led to misunderstandings. Among the staff, I would like to highlight Ms Butter in the restaurant – she was a gem! Attentive and always nearby when you needed her, but never intrusive, just as you would expect in a much more upmarket restaurant. The food was good but not outstanding. And now we come to breakfast. It is possible to have breakfast on the club floor, but unlike the large restaurant on the 23rd floor, the selection is a little limited. That's why I went to the restaurant on the second morning. So that I can compare the cuisine in the different hotels, I always order Eggs Benedict. I cannot give a rating for this version I received, as I am unable to award negative stars. The bread/toast was stale and the egg was cold. I was surprised that Eggs Benedict could be pre-made; they could at least have heated it properly. The runny yolk was missing, the mini slice of ham was very cold, and the béarnaise sauce was watery and practically non-existent with only three drops. There should be a change in this area of the kitchen. I will try to include the video I made in the review. Overall, a good business hotel with some excellent staff and a mixed kitchen.

Well located near both metro and sky train. Close to hospital and Red Cross. Night time shopping very close. Park is close. Mall is about an hour walk away. ATM for cash right outside. Staff were very polite and helpful. Rooms were well serviced. I was a nonsmoker in a smoking room and couldn't tell. Loved the shower, never used the bathtub but it looked nice. Breakfast buffet is great and views of skyline are nice. Lots of variety.

Very nice place. One day trip from Bangkok

It's a paradise on earth. It's beautiful island has many great attractions and wonderful beaches. It's great place to relax and have great time on the beach or visiting the attractions on the island. The residents are very friendly and helpful. There are many fantastic hotels at affordable prices.

Beautiful island peaceful and quiet compare with the tourist crowded Pattaya. But overall the boat service to the island was a nightmare. The fishing boat modified my family and me boarded was lack of safety even thought it has the life jacket equipped. The boat’s boarding walk way was too narrow. An accident happened during my trip back as one local fell to the sea. Just be prepared and caution when travel with elder and children.

A real gem of an island. Ended up staying here 2 months. Great for fishing, swimming and check out the local temples/ sites. Friendly locals. Don't expect a party though, as there are only 2 karaoke on the island. Recommended

What I liked about the small, cozy island of Ko Si Chang: # No cars allowed! Only scooters and stylish tuktuks. # Very little number of tourists, so no noisy night life. # Diversified hilly terrain with super satisfying narrow winding roads for scooter riding (rent your own Zoomer for 300 bht/24h). # Some quiet resorts and natural nooks where you can hide from the world and avoid crowds - good for writers or thinkers perhaps. # Dry microclimate: you feel like in Greece for a change, not a greenhouse. # Wonderful vistas from a promenade to the west and other high points. # Some choice of vegan food in certain restos. # Low prices. # So close to Bkk, 4 hrs by bus and ferry in total. # Smiling friendly locals. Be aware of sea urchins (bring plastic shoes) and jellyfish in the ocean. Be prepared that life slows down rapidly right after disembarking and you might need some time to get in sync.

Paradise. Small, quaint peaceful little island without too many tourists. Immerse yourself in Thai culuture and be sure to check out the amazing Chinese temple, talk a walk along Asdang pier and catch the sunset from Hat Tham Phang Beach. Don't forget to grab a bite of some delicious fresh seafood while you're there.

Just off sriracha district by public boat 30 minutes to arrive Sri Chang Island which has a blue green sea. A chinese shrine. Several beach and plenty of sun light to melt you down.
