Bangkok’s Best Arts and Leisure

Best Small Museum [1]: Charming little Bangkokian Museum [1] in Chinatown makes you feel like you’re touring someone’s old house, and you are.

Best Big Museum [2]: Newly opened Museum of Siam [2] in the Old City helps visitors understand what it means to be Thai.

Most Fun Festival [3]: It’s impossible to stay dry during Songkran [3] in April, when the whole city gets into a two-day water fight.

Fun for Foodies [4]: Spend half a day at the Blue Elephant Cooking School [4] in Silom learning how to prepare your favorite Thai dishes.

Best Way to Relax [5]: After a long day of sightseeing, head to Health Land Spa [5] in Silom for a professional massage.

Kids’ Favorite [6]: Bring the family to The Dusit Zoo [6] to see plenty of animals and an incidental glimpse of Thai culture, too.
