Admire the grand and evocative design of Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), a

the 1600s--but gaining its distinctive porcelain-clad prangs (spires) during
the reign of King Rama II in the early 19th century--the temple represents
an apex of religious architecture and is one of the best maintained of all
buildings commissioned by the Thai monarchy. Open to the public as a place

Say a prayer to Phra Phrom at Erawan Shrine (Thao Mahaprom Shrine), a

small but popular Hindu shrine. Visitors who stop here often light incense,
make an offering of fruit or owers, and admire the traditional Thai
dancers, paid for by supplicants hoping to have their prayers answered. At
the heart of the shrine sits a golden statue of Phra Phrom, the four-faced
Thai representation of the Hindu god of creation, Lord Brahma. It is a
popular tourist destination and is generally safe, however, in 2015 a bomb
went off near the shrine, killing 20 people.

Take a break from the concrete and glass hubbub of contemporary Bangkok
at Lumpini Park, an open public space offering much-welcomed urban relief
for residents and tourists. Trees, grass, and views unimpeded by nearby
buildings are something of a rarity in the city center, contributing to this
green space's immense popularity. Take a boat out onto the man-made lake

playgrounds, and over 30 species of birds making their home here, the park

Stroll down Walking Street Pattaya and take in the sights, sounds, and
relative chaos of one of Thailand's most (in)famous nightlife areas, and the
center of its adult entertainment industry. Stop off in one of the multitude
of bars and clubs to watch a performance, or just soak up the hedonistic
atmosphere of the place over a drink. This red light district has long been
the stomping grounds of Western men looking for love in Southeast Asia,
but in recent years the street has become more accessible for a wider
clientele, with daytime tours of the fascinating and lively strip.

of contemporary aesthetics and traditional architecture, there's plenty to
appreciate about this work in progress--so don't let its completion date of
2050 put you off.
