The Giant Swing is a major Bangkok landmark. Until the ceremony was banned in 1935 for safety reasons, young men would swing high into the air to try to grab a bag of silver coins suspended from a pole with their teeth. It has since been completely rebuilt.

Thonburi served as the capital for just 15 years under King Taksin after the fall of Ayutthaya. Today, it is fully integrated as a district of Bangkok, but it still retains a slightly quieter, canal-filled atmosphere compared to the bustling east side.
Pick one
Chatuchak is one of the largest outdoor markets in the world, selling everything from vintage clothing and local handicrafts to pets and plants. Navigating its labyrinth of alleys is a classic Bangkok adventure, organized into numbered sections to help shoppers find their way.
