The majestic temple of Wat Benchamabophit, made of marble, is considered to be a work of art.
The history of Thailand, Buddhist shrines, architectural fancies – you can learn all about these things during a visit to the Marble Temple in Bangkok (Wat Benchamabophit). This building, built of marble, was erected in the early twentieth century, and now it looks different from most other Thai temples.
Nice cool marble creates excellent conditions for a contemplative admiration of the stunning architecture of the temple, its stone carvings, and frescoes depicting scenes of Buddhist life.

You can not only stare at the 46-meter golden Buddha and lots of little buddhas at the temple, but also thoroughly cleanse your karma and attract luck.
Theta State Float Center is a highly popular place, due to the opportunity of body and soul recuperation in gravity free conditions that this center presents.
The magnificent view of the city from the 63rd floor of a skyscraper, known to the wide public from the movie "The Hangover, Part 2", cannot leave anyone indifferent.
A quiet lake creates a splendid atmosphere for a romantic evening; running tracks, fitness center and sports props rental are located in the park to help you to stay in good shape.
The park has 4 themed areas, each of them can compete for the title of the most interesting one. Yet the most extraordinary entertainment here is the opportunity to play in the snow in the height of hot summer!
Feel like an astronaut when getting to the top of one of the highest (309 m) buildings in the city – a high-speed elevator will whisk you almost into the space like a rocket!
You may not understand a word of the classical plays in the Thai language, but the actors’ ornate costumes and the beautiful setting will speak for themselves.
A magnificent 18th century ensemble comprising museums, a library and the temple of the Emerald Buddha — this is a must-see for any visitor to Bangkok.
