Lak Muang
This small temple located at Sanam Chai Raod on the east side of the Grand Palace, contains the foundation stone of the city. Lak Muang rather attracts a local crowd who believes the stone has the power to grant wishes. If you're lucky, you may see traditional lakhon dancing in the nearby open-air sala. The dancers have been paid by the faithful whose wishes have been granted by the foundation spirit. Open 24 hours. No admission.

Shed of the Royal Barges
North of the Grand Palace on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, the Shed houses gilded vessels once used for war and currently used by the king for ceremonies of religious importance. Similar to ancient Viking boats but more ornate, these royal yachts are a spectacle even on land. Klong (canal) tours often stop there.

Chinatown
Chinatown is located east of Hualampong Station, and is not a bad place to wander around for a couple of hours Like most Chinatowns, there are plenty of temples and traditional-style Chinese shop-houses, with different areas specialising in different things, for example, shoes and gold. If you pass through Chinatown in the night, it looks totally deserted.

Patpong
Much is made of Patpong, the red-light district. Not much goes on there that doesn't occur in other countries, but, rightly or wrongly, people feel safe on the bustling, brightly lit streets in the area. It doesn't really feel sleazy at all, unless you actually go into the clubs lining the streets--some of which might shock even the most worldly of visitors. If explicit, sex-oriented shows offend you, don't go into the clubs. Prurient considerations aside, you might stroll into the area just to see the busy night market. It starts at 7 pm. If you come around one or two hours earlier or go there around 1 am in the night you will be astonished how quickly the night market appears and disappears.

Democracy Monument
The democracy monument on the busy Ratchadamnern Road was built in 1940. It was constructed to commemorate the establishment of the constitutional monarchy in Thailand. Most days associate the monument rather with the events of 1992 when scores of Thais were killed as they protested against the dictatorship of General Suchinda.

The Golden Mount
The golden Mount is actually located near the Democracy Monument and next to the Western final stop of the Klong (Canal) Boat connecting East Bangkok with the west of the city. Admission to the sight is about 50 Bht, but locals pay less. This 80-meter tall artificial hill, also known as Phu Khao Thong, features an impressive golden chedi at its summit and is part of Wat Saket. Walking up the more than 318 stairs to the top takes can be quite tiring, but the view on Bangkok is definitely worth the effort.

Victory Monument
This monument is located at one of the most busiest intersection in Bangkok. It is rather an orientation point for Non-Bangkokians (but do not pronounce the name in Thai, if you have problems with tonal languages - it is very difficult!). The monument was built at the conclusion of the Indo-Chinese War of 1940-1, when Thailand reclaimed parts of Laos and Cambodia. The monument commemorates Thailand's general militaristic achievements.
