Other sights around there, maybe City Pillar Shrine, which is very popular with the local community, and is also around the same area as the Palace
Thanks SKT and David. I’m a little confused. The Silom MRT stop looks to be nowhere near the river. Is the HI Silom between the river and the MRT Silom station? Also looks close to Lumphini Park (sorry, not sure of the spelling). Is that nothing special? It’s the largest public park in BKK, right?
No one mentioned China Town. Nothing special? And no one has mentioned any museums in BKK. None worth a visit?
I’ll have 5 nights / four days in BKK, so I want to be sure I take in the best BKK has to offer. There’s more to see right, or does Singapore have better sight seeing opportunities? When I depart Krabi, I’m flying to Singapore for 3 nights to visit old next door neighbors of mine and a cool Singapore native I met on Twitch who is a streamer and professional magician.
