Exciting places right in the heart of Bangkok
1. Line Village
Did you know that right in the heart of Bangkok, there's a 'village' with super adorable 'friends'? If you're a fan of Brown bear, Cony rabbit, Sally chicken, or Choco bear, then you must know about the LINE 'empire'. LINE Stores are present everywhere from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Bangkok. If the giant Brown bear at the LINE Store in Korea was once a hot check-in spot for young people, LINE has now brought the entire LINE village to Bangkok.
Welcome to the home of the LINE family. @adust0713
Even if you're still unfamiliar with LINE characters, believe me, LINE Village is a very exciting place with countless beautiful corners for you to take photos, even if you spend half a day here, you still won't 'check-in' everywhere. LINE Village is a luxurious house that completely answers the question 'What to do in Thailand', where each character has their own room decorated according to their personality and preferences. For example, the masculine Brown bear has a sky blue room, the timid Cony rabbit has a 'pink' kitchen, and the fashionista Choco bear has a huge wardrobe.

Besides, there's also Moon's room which is a space-themed area, James's room, Boss's room...and many, many other interesting corners. No need to go far, just take a leisurely stroll around LINE Village for a while and you'll have a basket full of beautiful photos with different styles.

LINE Village is incredibly well-invested. Not only are there cute decorated rooms, but also interactive games for entertainment. And the best part is, once you buy a ticket at the gate, you can stay in LINE Village for as long as you like, meaning until you're bored.
One visit to LINE Village is enough photos for a year. @julybecca

2. Madame Tussauds Bangkok
Madame Tussauds, the famous wax museum in London and Hong Kong, is also present right in Bangkok, located in Siam Discovery. This is where you can fulfill the dream of meeting world-famous stars like Angelina Jolie, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, politicians, and even Thai stars. I've overlooked this place a few times in Bangkok but after visiting many familiar spots, Madame Tussauds is an attractive suggestion for the question 'What to do in Thailand'. You can also combine it with a visit to the nearby aquarium.
At Madame Tussauds, you'll get to see the British Royal Family.

3. Visit Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World
Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World (formerly known as Siam Ocean World) consists of two floors located beneath the luxurious Siam Paragon shopping center in Bangkok. Amidst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World is like a separate fairyland. This underground aquarium has one of the largest swimming pools in Southeast Asia, equivalent to three Olympic-size swimming pools.

Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World features a wide variety of fascinating sea creatures from the deep ocean. You'll experience the feeling of walking through a tunnel while above, the world's most vicious predators swim and hunt in the 270-degree underwater tunnel - Asia's largest panoramic ocean with many species of sharks, stingrays, and giant groupers. Or immerse yourself in a poetic space like in the movie 'Finding Nemo' with beautiful coral reefs. This is where you can admire and learn more about rare ocean creatures.

Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World is so modern that it even has the first 4D movie theater in the land of the golden pagoda, answering the question 'What's there to do in Thailand?'. Advanced technology is used to project high-definition films about the ocean, making you feel like you're lost in some distant ocean. So, Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World is not only a place for entertainment but also educational, especially for children.

Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre (BACC) is a large art and cultural center in the heart of Bangkok showcasing contemporary artworks, designs, music, and films. Opened in 2008, BACC has become a destination for city dwellers and art enthusiasts to appreciate art and culture. It regularly hosts exhibitions by Thai and international artists.

Both the interior and exterior of the building have impressive architecture. BACC is located near the national stadium, at the corner of Pathumwan Intersection. You'll recognize BACC among a series of nearby shopping centers by some interesting sculptures placed in front of the square. Inside BACC, the architecture is curvaceous, white, and features a spiral walkway.

Spacious yet airy, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) might seem a bit 'empty' when you first walk in, but this layout allows you to carefully observe each piece of artwork without feeling overwhelmed. As you walk through the various exhibitions, you'll notice many outstanding works. In addition to exhibition spaces, BACC also houses shops, an art library, and a few cafes and snack bars. Visiting the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) allows you to immerse yourself in an extremely artistic space while also learning more about Thai contemporary culture and art.
Every corner at BACC exudes an 'artistic' vibe, just lift your camera up and you'll capture beautiful shots. @baccbangkok
The art center has quickly become a popular hangout spot for students, although its enthusiasm isn't always reciprocated by the public and tourists in the area. While there are some limitations and not all displays meet global standards, it offers a profound insight into modern culture in Thailand.

Escape the crowds and scorching weather of Bangkok for some delightful hours of relaxation with a visit to the museum. The 3D Art in Paradise Museum first opened its doors in Pattaya and attracted a large number of visitors thanks to its creative ideas. And if you're in Bangkok, this fascinating museum is located in the Esplanade shopping center on Ratchada Road.

Located on the relatively quiet 4th floor of the shopping center, 3D Art in Paradise comprises a two-story exhibition room filled with stunning 'floating' artworks that blur the line between reality and illusion. At the 3D Art in Paradise Museum, experiences such as flying on a magic carpet or exploring beautiful earthly scenes are no longer distant dreams. This place can take you strolling in Venice, Italy, or shopping in the fashion capital... All you need to do is strike the perfect pose. You can unleash your imagination to the fullest to create anything from a classy pose to a silly one, and if you're with friends, it's guaranteed to be a lot of fun. Rest assured, there will be arrows at the museum to guide you to the best spots.

To fully explore the 3D Art in Paradise Museum, it takes about 2 to 3 hours, depending on your 'Instagrammable' enthusiasm. Creating a unique and realistic photo here is quite challenging, not a joke. I highly recommend visiting the Art in Paradise Museum with a fun group of friends, there will be plenty of laughs here.

9. Marvel at the city from the highest point - Mahanakhon Skywalk
Mahanakhon Tower, a symbol of modernity in the capital city of Bangkok, is a source of pride for the Thai people and a perfect answer to the question, 'What to do in Thailand?' Mahanakhon boasts a uniquely asymmetric architecture, resembling gigantic Rubik's cubes. Not only is it the tallest building in Thailand, but Mahanakhon also houses some of the finest restaurants, hotels, and top-notch entertainment services like The Ritz Carlton Residences and the Michelin-starred L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon.
The hottest building in Bangkok in recent years, King Power Mahanakhon. @ kingpowermahanakhon
On floors 74 and 78, at a height of 310 meters, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Bangkok from Mahanakhon Skywalk and the rooftop area. The Bangkok skyline from Mahanakhon is stunning, with skyscrapers befitting a modern city. The Mahanakhon Skywalk's unique feature is its glass balcony, giving you the feeling of being suspended in mid-air. For those afraid of heights, this might be a bit 'heightening,' but the stunning views and surreal photos are well worth it.
