With fascinating museums, local markets and iconic temples Thonburi is indeed a beautiful village to visit during your Bangkok tour. Thanks to the efficient public transport chains, travelling to these landmarks is quite easy and fast.

Wat Arun

Located very close to hotels such as Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel, Wat Arun is also known as the Temple of Dawn. Because of its riverside location and the uncommon design, this is, of course, one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok.

Thonburi Canals

If you are spending a day or two at a hotel at riverside in Bangkok, admiring a whole set of series of canals and waterways is something you can’t miss. Try Thonburi Canals which are also known as Khlongs which expose you to the local side of Bangkok.

Baan Silapin

It’s a classy wooden house on the water’s edge which is more than 200 years old. Paintings, clothes, masks, statues, and puppets are what you find here, and yes, you can even buy any of them if you wish to!

Royal Barges Museum

This museum is famous among travelers as it displays ‘the Royal Barges’, a set 8 of the most stunning vessels in Thailand. As this place is open throughout the week, scheduling your visit any day will not be an issue!
