Best Instagrammable Places in Bangkok in 2026

Thailand is extremely versatile when it comes to photography. From historic temples and urban architecture to traditional floating markets and chic cafes, there are endless photo ops where you least expect it.

Having been four times (with many more to come), I’ve put together the ultimate Bangkok photo spot guide for you—whether you’re a fashion blogger, street photographer, or someone who simply wants to take nice pictures for memories.

Must-See Palaces & Temples

1. The Grand Palace

The Grand Palace is one of the most iconic Bangkok tourist attractions.

It once served as a royal residence for the Kings of Siam and is now used for special ceremonies.

Tip: Don’t forget to visit Wat Phra Kaew, or The Temple of the Emerald Buddha. You can even join a guided tour to learn more about its history.

2. Wat Arun

It’s no secret that Thailand is home to some of the most beautiful Buddhist temples in the world.

Wat Arun, in particular, is a Bangkok must-see, as it is one of the oldest temples with history dating back to the Ayutthaya Kingdom.

Tip: If you wish to capture the best photos of Bangkok, visit during golden hour when the sun begins to dips into the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

3. Wat Pho

Wat Pho is best known for its 46-meter long reclining Buddha statue, which is why it’s often called the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. But there’s so much more to see here!

The complex itself houses a total of 1,000 Buddha images. I recommend allocating extra time in your Bangkok itinerary, so your visit doesn’t feel rushed.

Tip: You’re required to remove your shoes before entering a temple in Thailand. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes that are easy to put on and take off.

4. Wat Benchamabophit

Wat Benchamabophit gets its nickname, The Marble Temple, from its Italian marble architecture.

It is hands down my favorite temple in Thailand and it 100% deserves to be on your Bangkok things to do list.

Tip: Come early in the morning to catch the sun rise and glisten upon the golden embellishments.

5. Wat Ratchanatdaram

Wat Ratchanaddaram’s main attraction is Loha Prasat, an iron castle inspired by temples in India and Sri Lanka.

It is the only remaining iron castle today and is jaw-dropping lit up against the midnight sky.

Tip: Pose for your IG shot in a chut thai! I rented from Sense of Thai, but One More Thai and Absolute Thai have amazing selections too.

6. Wat Ratchabophit

Not a fan of crowds? Me neither.

Luckily, Wat Ratchabophit is one of the lesser-known Bangkok tourist places.

The inner temple grounds were unfortunately closed to the public when I went, but I’ll report back with updated photos if I get the opportunity to go back!

7. Wat Samphran

A.k.a. Temple of the Rising Dragon, this is easily one of the most unique places to visit in Bangkok. Well, correction: close to Bangkok.

Situated a quick 30-minute drive from the city center, this hidden gem will. Blow. Your. Mind!

Believe it or not, my friend and I walked up to the top of the building through the dragon’s body. Definitely a big highlight of my trip!!

Tip: I suggest renting a scooter or taking Grab here. (Grab is the equivalent of Uber in Asia.) If you order a Grab, ask if the driver can pick you up after. Wat Samphran is somewhat remote, hence it can be tricky hailing down a ride.

8. Wat Asokaram

This one’s a bonus.

Wat Asokaram is a relatively new temple, built in the early 1960s.

Its striking white pagodas set it apart from other temples, and while it’s not exactly in Bangkok, it’s only about a 30-minute drive away.

Local Markets

9. Rot Fai Market Ratchada – renamed and no more colorful tents!

Rot Fai Market Ratchada, or the Train Night Market, is was the most aesthetic night market in Bangkok.

However, due to COVID, it closed down and has since reopened under a new name—The One Ratchada.

The colorful tents have supposedly been replaced by white ones instead. Nonetheless, I am including this on the list as an FYI. (I still see photos of the old Rot Fai market floating around on the Internet, so I don’t want you to get the wrong information and be disappointed when you go!)

10. Chatuchak Weekend Market

From straw purses and boho fashion to handmade crafts and vintage finds, this bustling market is your go-to for souvenirs.

11. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

As seen in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is the largest and most visited floating market* in Thailand.

Tip: You can combine this with Maeklong Railway Market (number 13 below).

*A floating market is essentially a food market on water. Many of the top markets recommended in guidebooks are actually located outside the city center. Although this article is titled “Instagrammable Places in Bangkok,” I’m including these because they remain very popular with tourists. Just keep in mind that items numbered 11 to 14 are not technically in the capital.

12. Amphawa Floating Market

Similar to Damnoen Saduak, Amphawa is a crowd favorite too.

Tip: If you’re pressed for time, I’d choose one to visit. They’re all relatively far apart, and traffic in Thailand can get pretty bad. Alternatively, consider joining a semi-guided tour!

13. Maeklong Railway Market

Well, this one’s somewhat… unusual.

At Maeklong Railway Market, you can expect to find fresh fruits and vegetables—and trains that pass right through the market six times a day, weaving between local street vendors.

Tip: Check the most recent train schedules on Google so you don’t miss the chance for epic Bangkok pictures. And again, this can be combined with Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.

14. Red Lotus Floating Market

Red Lotus Floating Market, located in Nakhon Pathom, is special because you can ride a boat through a dreamy lotus pond.

Very few tourists stop by. If you love exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations, this is the place for you!

Tip: You can pay a little extra to get your picture taken on a drone. (You can’t fly your own drone, though.)

Museums, Art Gallery, Observatory & More

You are going to hate me for this, but let me preface this section by saying… Items 15 and 16 aren’t in Bangkok either. Do you feel like you’ve been clickbaited yet? I’m sorryyyyyyyyyyyy! But I swear you’re not gonna want to skip these two “Bangkok” Instagram spots!!!

15. The Ancient City (Mueang Boran)

Despite its location outside Bangkok, The Ancient City is easily accessible by car or BTS.

This museum park covers more than 200 acres, and ranks as the world’s largest outdoor museum. If your feet start to tire, rent a bike or golf cart to get around faster.

Tip: The top two photo locations here are Pavilion of the Enlightened and Sumeru Mountain. Combine this with Erawan Museum (below) to save a few bucks!

16. Erawan Museum

If you decide to check out The Ancient City, make sure to pay a visit to the nearby Erawan Museum!

Its three-headed elephant will take your breath away and the architecture inside is equally as impressive!

Tip: Again, you can combine this with Ancient City to save $$ on admission fee.

17. Space & Time Cube+

Space & Time Cube+ is Bangkok’s latest Instagram sensation and Thailand’s first immersive digital art museum.

There are a total of 27 interactive rooms filled with holograms, projections, and motion-reactive displays. With so many visually striking installations, every corner is designed for the gram!

Tip: Book tickets online in advance.

18. Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA BANGKOK)

Calling all art-lovers! MOCA houses Thailand’s most comprehensive private collection of modern painting and sculpture.

One of its highlights is the fifth-floor staircase that changes regularly to feature different artworks. It’s both a must-see and a playful backdrop for Instagram-worthy shots.

19. King Power Mahanakhon

Up until 2018, King Power Mahanakhon was recognized as the tallest building in all of Thailand.

Today it still boasts unparalleled views of Krung Thep’s skyline and features a glass skywalk that is not for the faint-hearted.

Tip: Prices vary by entry time. Purchase online tickets in advance to avoid any disappointments!

20. Bangkok Art & Culture Centre (BACC)

BACC is a contemporary arts center showcasing art, music, theater, film, design, and cultural/educational events. The building itself is a masterpiece as well, making it an essential stop for art and architecture enthusiasts. 

21. Queen Sirikit National Convention Center

This is perhaps one of Bangkok’s most iconic event spaces, known for its modern architecture and sprawling exhibition halls.

Whether you’re visiting for a formal gathering or simply exploring, the sleek design and impressive structure make it worth a quick stop for photos.

Futuristic Malls & Cute Shops

22. EmSphere

EmSphere is Bangkok’s newest lifestyle mall.

From stylish boutiques to Insta-worthy cafes, it’s the ultimate place to shop, snack, and snap your way through the day.

Tip: If you love Butterbear, don’t miss the cafe on G Floor! (I bought a blind box here and the bear inside smells exactly like biscuits. So adorable!)

23. ICONSIAM

Located next to the Chao Phraya River, ICONSIAM is a high-end mall with more than 7,000 shops, 100 restaurants, and an indoor floating market.

Even if you’re not crazy about retail therapy, you’ll love the impressive architecture and gorgeous river views.

24. Siam Discovery

You probably didn’t expect to see so many shopping malls on an “Instagrammable places in Bangkok” list. I guess this goes to show how picturesque Bangkok can be!

Tip: OneSiam Skywalk (pictured right) can be accessed via the M Floor Gate 3 exit.

25. Central Embassy

Alright, alright, fine. I upped the saturation here and pushed the temperature slider way to the left (blue) side. Even though this photo is heavily edited, the mall structure remains unchanged.

Treat yourself to some much-needed retail therapy and snap some cool Bangkok photos while you’re at it.

26. SIAMSCAPE

SIAMSCAPE isn’t your typical mall. It’s a modern mix of retail, dining, and business facilities all in one place. Oh! And did I mention that it’s totally Instagrammable?

Aesthetic Spas

27. White Wood Green Spa & Wellness

Did you really go to Bangkok if you didn’t get a Thai massage?

White Wood Green Spa & Wellness is my newest obsession. The spa is absolutely beautiful and there’s no better way to unwind after a full day of exploring the city.

28. Oasis Spa (Bangkok, Sukhumvit 31)

Oasis Spa is a luxury spa with locations across Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Pattaya.

Not only will you leave feeling totally renewed, but each branch has its own dreamy aesthetic. (I adored my experience in Chiang Mai and can’t wait to try the Bangkok location!)

29. Divana Scentuara Spa

This is another highly-rated spa in Thailand.

They have multiple locations across the country, but the Scentuara location, housed in a restored 90-year-old colonial building, in my opinion, is the most charming.

30. MYTH Apothecary Spa

Rounding out this section is MYTH Apothecary Spa. (Above photos are from Klook. They have tons of amazing deals!)

This garden spa is located in the trendy, residential neighborhood of Ari. If you’re in the mood for a mini escape from Bangkok’s hustle, treat yourself to a relaxing massage here.

Best Cafes in Bangkok

31. Café DIOR by Mauro Colagreco

Café DIOR by Mauro Colagreco is a semi-permanent pop-up cafe that opened in December 2024 and is expected to remain in business until around 2027. (Exact dates TBD.)

This was one of the things I looked forward to the most during my recent revisit, and just as we got our cakes, my girlfriends and I (and everyone at the cafe) were evacuated for an earthquake.

That said, I can’t speak to the food or drinks, but the decor is 100% drop-dead gorgeous.

Tip: Reservations open on specific days of the month. Check SevenRooms.

32. A KEEN HOUSE

This is a recent favorite on my revisit.

Its minimalist design and cozy atmosphere make it such a relaxing spot to grab coffee with friends or catch up on work. Omg and their Lemon Crème Brûlée is to die for!

33. The Cassette Coffee Bar

Calling all pink lovers! Do not miss this retro-style coffee bar!

Although I enjoyed my little yuzu beverage here, I do have to say that their drinks are somewhat overpriced.

Luckily, their staff don’t seem to mind if you snap a shot outside without making a purchase. (I personally don’t feel comfortable with that, but do what you will with this information.)

34. HOLIDAY PASTRY

This popular hangout spot is aesthetic goals—and their pastries are too pretty to eat!

35. FO SHO BRO

Is this Thailand or Morocco?

Teleport to Marrakesh and treat yourself to some of the best coffee in Bangkok!

36. Ember Cafe & Wine

Ember Cafe & Wine is a quirky cafe specializing in coffee, small plates, and volcanic wines. And believe it or not, its structure was built with 3D printing technology!

Tip: They are a cashless establishment.

37. Flat+White cafe

Good food and yummy drinks? Sign me up!

If you’re after minimalistic vibes for your white Instagram theme, look no further.

38. Samantao Heritage Coffee

Nestled in the historic Nai Lert Park, Samantao Heritage Coffee is a quaint cafe set by a tranquil pond.

I loved the traditional Thai breakfast here and you can never have too much Thai tea when in Thailand 😉

39. Baan Manee BKK

I’m a sucker for dining with a view, and Baan Manee offers exactly that!

This riverside boutique hotel + cafe was renovated from a 118-year-old family home. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make it feel like you’re spending a weekend at your grandma’s. And don’t even get me started on the food and drinks. So, soooo good, I’m literally drooling as I write this.

40. Ksana matcha

Have a taste of Kyoto and sample the finest ceremonial grade matcha.

Ksana matcha is a somewhat new matcha specialty cafe.

Its white walls are modelled after Arizona’s Antelope Canyon, and make for a stunning photo backdrop.

41. % Arabica

You’ve probably seen % Arabica before. From Kyoto to New York, it’s everywhere!

Bangkok has a few locations, each keeping that signature white minimalist style while blending seamlessly into its surroundings.

The Bangkok Empire Tower branch is the tallest % Arabica in the world, looking out to King Power Mahanakhon and the sweeping city skyline. But Bangkok QSNCC and One Bangkok are impressive as well!

42. Starbucks at Sathorn Square

Yup, you read that right. Starbucks!

Who knew a coffeehouse chain could ever be so photogenic?

From the outside, the building structure resembles a giant Christmas tree. If you were to stand inside and look up, you can see an intricate glass design that is reminiscent of lotus petals.

Tip: This Starbucks location is within walking distance to Chong Nonsi Pedestrian Bridge (number 79 below). Group these two places to go in Bangkok together on your travel itinerary!

43. Ayatana Charoen Krung

ĀYATANA has two locations, both of which are ultra-photogenic.

Tip: Their hand sculpture display changes periodically. Check Instagram for deets.

44. C.P.S. COFFEE

As of me editing this post in October 2025, C.P.S. COFFEE currently has a pop-up collaboration with The Truffle Bakery, and their flagship location is decked out with a giant croissant.

It’s not clear how long the pop-up will last, but the cafe is worth checking out regardless.

45. PAULETTE BKK

It’s not every day that you get to enjoy coffee with a side of temple views.

PAULETTE BKK is a relatively new cafe that does coffee, patisserie, and gelato. If your feet are aching from walking around the Grand Palace, this is a cute spot to grab a pick-me-up.

46. The Authors’ Lounge

One of the best things to do on a Bangkok girls trip is to enjoy afternoon tea at The Authors’ Lounge inside Mandarin Oriental.

This classy venue exudes 19th century charms, making it an ideal setting for portrait and food photography!

Tip: The dress code is smart casual. Plan accordingly.

Without making this guide too long, here are a couple more Instagrammable places in Bangkok:

• Cataleya Estate (European-inspired setting)

Unique Restaurants

47. Breeze Restaurant

Situated in lebua at State Tower, this pan-Asian restaurant has panoramic views of Bangkok’s skyline.

I’d originally wanted to dine here, but according to online reviews, their food is expensive and not the best. And reservations are super hard to come by???

Tip: Opt for a sunset drink at Sky Bar instead. (See “Bangkok Rooftop Bars” section below.)

48. sala rattanakosin eatery and bar

At sala rattanakosin eatery and bar, you can marvel at the beauty of Chao Phraya River. Talk about a feast for all senses! And psttt! They also have a rooftop bar!

Tip: Book a stay at sala rattanakosin Bangkok for the best Wat Arun views.

49. CHAR Bangkok

CHAR Bangkok specializes in grilled meats. From flank steak and pork belly to seared scallops and lobster tail, they have what it takes to impress your SO on a romantic date night.

50. Le Du Kaan

This Thai rooftop restaurant and bar is led by Michelin Star Chef Thitid Ton. If you’re looking to spoil babe for a special occasion, this place will certainly earn you extra brownie points.

51. Bitterman

Glasshouse dining is a trend in Bangkok and I’m totally here for it!

Bitterman was inspired by the belief that food tastes better when shared with friends and family. They cook up amazing home-style dishes and is ideal for a night out with friends.

52. บ้านเพลินจิตต์ ณ คลองบางหลวง Baan Plern Jitt at Klong Bang Luang

If the hustle and bustle is getting to you, escape for a peaceful riverside bite at Baan Plern Jitt.

53. Curvy.dining

Designed by Unknown Surface Studio, Curvy.dining is a delicate white all-day restaurant that encourages a seamless dialogue between nature and architecture.

Reviews seem somewhat mixed for their food and drinks, though. I’ll report back if I swing by next time.

54. Kay’s

This breakfast restaurant has got to be one of the cutest Bangkok photo spots.

They have multiple locations each with their own charms. Kay’s Sukhumvit 49 (pictured above) is an idyllic urban oasis. If you prefer city views, Kay’s Embassy is your pick.

55. Myste Restaurant

If there’s one country that knows how to turn food into an extravagant, Instagram-worthy experience, it’s Thailand.

Myste Restaurant is a high-end fine dining concept set inside a cave.

It’s undeniably a visual masterpiece, but I’ve heard that the food doesn’t quite live up to its aesthetic appeal. Still worth it if you’re going solely for the ‘gram.

56. Aesops Greek Restaurant & Rooftop

I’m all about trying local cuisine, but sometimes you gotta satisfy that random craving.

Aesops is a restaurant/rooftop bar highlighting modern Greek flavors. From vibrant dancing shows to festive plate-smashing, there’s no better venue to celebrate your next milestone.

Other Cool Restaurants in Bangkok

• Nobu Bangkok (Japanese-Peruvian cuisine)
• Salathip (located within Shangri-La Bangkok)
• The Blooming Gallery (floral-themed)
• Eat Sight Story Deck (front row views of Wat Arun)

Bangkok Rooftop Bars

57. Sky Bar Bangkok

Made famous by Hangover 2, Sky Bar Bangkok is one of the most photographed Bangkok tourist spots.

Despite Thailand’s overall affordability, cocktails at rooftop bars—especially at Sky Bar—can cost an arm and a leg. Bring a loaded wallet!

Tip: Most rooftop bars in Bangkok have a smart casual dress code. For all the gents out there, if you do not want to be turned away, avoid wearing shorts!

58. Vertigo and Moon Bar

Perched atop of Banyan Tree, Vertigo and Moon Bar has been named one of the “Top Ten Rooftop Bars in the World” by Condé Nast Traveler.

Enjoy killer sunset views and grab a pic for the gram at the Moon Walk glass platform.

59. Invitation Only

This chic burgundy bar at Empire Tower boasts the “best” sunset view in Bangkok.

There are some mixed reviews, but I’d definitely love to try it for myself the next time I’m back in Thailand. Will let you know my thoughts!

60. Octave Rooftop Lounge and Bar

This Marriott Hotel lounge and bar is one of the first rooftop bars on Sukhumvit Road. Its views ought to leave you speechless and the live DJ sets here will make you dance the night away.

61. The Speakeasy Rooftop Bar

This rooftop bar at Hotel Muse is inspired by the Prohibition Era. Its Art Deco style architecture isn’t something you typically see in Bangkok and is what sets it apart from all the other rooftop bars.

I went with three other friends. The two-person high-top tables (pictured above) are more Instagrammable for sure.

62. BKK Social Club

BKK Social Club is an award-winning cocktail bar in the Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River.

I went in March 2025, right before the new Asia’s 50 Best Bars list was announced. And if my memory serves me right, they were no. 7—now no. 19.

Regardless of ranking, I really enjoyed their drinks. They’ve recently introduced a new menu, with signature cocktails inspired by Mexico’s people, places, and fiestas. Give them a try!

63. Lamaya Bangkok

Picture this… Live jazz performances, fire shows, and vibrant light displays all at a tropical jungle-themed rooftop oasis with panoramic views of the city. If you ask me, Bangkok sure knows how to party! (Above photos are from their Facebook page.)

64. Tichuca Rooftop Bar

Tichuca Rooftop Bar is one of the newest addition to Bangkok’s nightlife scene.

The jellyfish tree here is super IG-friendly and their drink prices are a lot more reasonable as well.

65. TRIBE Sky Beach Club

If your idea of a chill weekend escape is lounging by an infinity pool sipping on refreshing cocktails, TRIBE Sky Beach Club is your go-to.

66. Unculture Silom Rooftop Bar

Bangkok has no shortage of glamorous rooftop bars. But if you prefer laid-back vibes and a more relaxed atmosphere, Unculture Silom Rooftop Bar is the perfect choice for a chill night out with friends. Oh! And best part is you can watch the BTS go by. How cool is that!!

67. Cul de Sac – Thonglor Rooftop Bar

Or!! If you’re a big R&B/hip-hop lover, Cul de Sac at The Quartier Hotel is where you’ll want to be.

Le boyfie’s Bangkok friend introduced this to us, and it’s become a new favorite hangout spot.

From killer cocktails to old-school hits, every day feels like Throwback Thursday here!

Other Trending Bangkok Rooftop Bars

I can honestly go on and on about Instagrammable places in Bangkok, but let’s keep it short and sweet. Here are a few more photo-worthy bars that are as pretty as they are fun, with breathtaking views to match.

• Tulum Skybar
• Above Eleven
• RedSky
• Mojjo Rooftop Lounge Bar
• ZOOM Sky Bar & Restaurant

Hotels That Are Instagram-Worthy

68. The Siam Hotel

The Siam Hotel is an urban sanctuary amidst three acres of lush gardens on the Chao Phraya River, known for its tasteful design by internationally acclaimed architect Bill Bensley.

From private pool villas to riverside dining, the photo ops are endless! (Above photos are from Facebook.)

69. 137 Pillars Suites and Residences

137 Pillars Suites and Residences is a five-star luxury hotel in the heart of Sukhumvit Thonglor.

Its guestrooms are a magnificent blend of traditional Thai design and modern elegance, and the rooftop infinity pool views here are hypnotizing.

70. Capella Bangkok

Capella Bangkok is another highly Instagrammable property.

As Bangkok’s number one hotel, its unobstructed views of the Chao Phraya River and contemporary accommodations make it a top traveler’s choice. (Above photos are from their website.)

71. Dusit Thani Bangkok

Dusit Thani Bangkok reopened in September 2024 with a brand new look.

Stellar city views and photogenic spaces make it a must-visit for your feed. (Above photos are from their website.)

72. SO/ Bangkok

SO/ Bangkok offers four distinctive room types in the theme of water, earth, wood, and metal.

The Water Element Room is especially popular for its round bathtub against Bangkok’s city scene.

73. Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok

I stayed here on a March 2023 trip and I cannot tell you how much I adore this Kempinski property!

The Lobby Lounge afternoon tea, rooftop infinity pool, innovative spa treatments… Where do I even begin.

Whether you are in search of a romantic getaway with babe, or a relaxing vacation with friends and family, this five-star accommodation will not disappoint!

74. InterContinental Khao Yai Resort by IHG

Inspired by the glamor of train travel, InterContinental Khao Yai Resort brings a touch of old-world luxury to the heart of nature.

From elegant carriage-themed suites to sweeping views of Khao Yai’s lush landscapes, it’s a photogenic escape ideal for a weekend stay. (Above photos are from their website.)

Note: Khao Yai is about two to three hours away from Bangkok, and it’s so worth the trip that I had to include it in this list.

75. lebua at State Tower

If you’ve done some research for your Bangkok trip, you’ll probably recognize lebua from Instagram pictures of Bangkok.

Apart from its charming restaurant and rooftop bar, lebua’s building structure itself is must-see for anyone who is into drone photography. (Above photos are from their website.)

76. Hotel Once Bangkok

Hotel Once Bangkok is a boutique property by the Chao Phraya River.

All of its rooms are thoughtfully designed, but the Executive Jacuzzi room is especially great for unwinding and snapping picture-perfect photos.

Other Unique Hotels in Bangkok

• Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River (stunning infinity pool)
• The Salil Hotel Sukhumvit 57 – Thonglor (contemporary chic)
• Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai (stunning infinity pool)
• Ascott Thonglor Bangkok (stunning infinity pool)
• Away Bangkok Riverside Kene (contemporary chic)
• The Standard Bangkok (bold & cheeky)
• Josh Hotel (cute pool with a pop of color)

Other Fun Photo Ops Around Bangkok

77. Akara Sky Hanuman

Perched on the 61st floor of One City Center, Akara Sky Hanuman is a rooftop destination with immersive art, observation decks, and sky dining and bars.

Here you can take in 180-degree views of the city at Bangkok Reflection, enjoy decadent afternoon tea at Siam Societies, and watch live Thai performances at the Hanuman Rooftop Garden. (All photos are from Akara Sky Hanuman.)

78. Siam Discovery Pedestrian Bridge

There’s no actual name for this, but it’s a pedestrian bridge right by the BTS station beside Siam Discovery.

It’s perfect for catching light trails and photographing Bangok’s bustling city scene.

Tip: Use a gorilla tripod to attach your camera to the ceiling of the bridge. That way, you can capture both the subject and the city scene below.

79. Chong Nonsi Pedestrian Bridge

As its name suggests, this is your everyday pedestrian bridge. However, its one-of-a-kind structure creates interesting lines for Bangkok pics.

80. The East Asiatic Company

This Renaissance Revival-style building once served as the headquarters of East Asiatic Company. It is now a commercial event space and is often used for filming.

81. Airplane Graveyard

Aircraft boneyards, or airplane graveyards, have become sought-after photoshoot locations in recent years.

This particular one in Bangkok is home to three local Thai families.

Note: There is a special admission fee that can range anywhere from 100 to 800 THB (~$3 to 23 USD/~$4 to $31 CAD), depending on how much these locals feel like charging.

82. Highway Basketball Court

For all my basketball lovers out there, this is hands down the coolest place for a game.

Note that I’d repainted the courts in Photoshop. Actual colors were dark green and maroon, which differ quite a bit and aren’t as vibrant, but still fun regardless!

Tip: You can find the exact coordinates on Google Maps. If you’re feeling hungry, head across the street to Bluetamp Café. I’d stumbled upon this lovely little gem unexpectedly and their brunch dishes are divine.

83. Chom Thong Train Station

A train track through a magical green tunnel? This station was practically made for Instagram!

Do be careful when taking pictures here.

Shoot from far using say a 200mm lens or the 280mm that Harimao uses. Don’t come back and sue me when you lose an arm or a leg XDD

84. Chinatown Gate from Odeon Carpark

Another light trail photo location.

This shot is by my lovely friend, Laurent, and was taken from the Odeon Building carpark. I hear that the security guard there only allows local photographers in now, but feel free to try your luck.

85. Victory Monument

In the event that you get kicked out by security at Odeon, an alternative is to shoot Victory Monument instead.

Pin for later!

Phew! What a long list of Instagrammable places in Bangkok! I tried to include classic tourist spots along with a mix of different photography locations, and I hope you enjoyed my recs.

Bangkok is a city I find myself returning to often, so I’ll keep updating this post as I discover more gems!

Have fun shooting 😉
