15 Best Places for Photography in Bangkok in 2025 (Local’s Secret Spots)

Discover the most stunning photography spots in Bangkok for 2025. From temples and markets to hidden gems, this local's guide shares insider tips for capturing the perfect shot in Thailand's vibrant capital.

Introduction: Bangkok Through a Lens

The first time I arrived in Bangkok with my camera in hand, I was completely overwhelmed. The chaotic streets, the sensory overload, the constant movement—it all felt impossible to capture. I remember standing frozen on a busy sidewalk near Siam Square, my camera hanging uselessly around my neck, as motorbikes zoomed past and street vendors called out their wares. Fast forward to today, after countless visits and years of exploration, I’ve discovered that Bangkok is actually a photographer’s paradise—if you know where to look and when to shoot.

Bangkok’s visual identity is constantly evolving, balancing ancient traditions with hyper-modern development. In 2025, this contrast is more dramatic than ever, making it an incredible time to photograph this dynamic city. From the golden spires of centuries-old temples to the neon-lit skyscrapers, from hidden canals to bustling markets, the photographic opportunities are endless and ever-changing.

In this guide, I’ll share my favorite photography spots in Bangkok—both the iconic must-visits and the lesser-known gems I’ve discovered through trial and error (and sometimes getting gloriously lost). I’ll also cover the best times to visit each location, essential gear for Bangkok’s unique challenges, and local etiquette tips to ensure you’re photographing respectfully.

Iconic Temple Photography Spots

Bangkok’s temples (or “wats”) are among the most photogenic subjects in the city. Each offers unique photographic opportunities, but they also come with specific challenges—particularly crowds and lighting considerations.

Wat Arun: The Temple of Dawn

Despite its name, Wat Arun actually offers its most spectacular photo opportunities at sunset. I learned this the hard way after waking up at 4:30am on my first visit, only to discover that the morning light doesn’t hit the temple’s spires quite right!

For the best shots in 2025:

  • Optimal time: Late afternoon to sunset (4:30-6:30pm)
  • Best vantage point: The east bank of the Chao Phraya River, specifically from the deck of Arun Residence or Eagle’s Nest rooftop bar
  • Insider tip: In 2025, there’s a new public pier with an elevated platform that offers unobstructed views without requiring a restaurant purchase

“Mai pen rai” (it’s no problem) is a phrase you’ll hear often in Thailand. Embody this relaxed attitude when photographing busy locations—if you miss a shot because someone walks into your frame, just smile and try again.

The intricate porcelain details on Wat Arun’s spires reflect light beautifully, creating a different mood depending on the weather. On cloudy days, bring a polarizing filter to enhance the colors against the gray sky.

Wat Pho: Temple of the Reclining Buddha

Home to the massive 46-meter reclining Buddha, Wat Pho presents unique challenges for photographers. The Buddha is so large that capturing it in its entirety requires careful planning.

My recommended approach:

  1. Arrive at opening time (8:00am) to avoid the worst crowds
  2. Bring a wide-angle lens (16-24mm range works well)
  3. Start with the Buddha’s face, which is often the least crowded area
  4. Work your way around, capturing details like the mother-of-pearl feet
  5. Set aside time to explore the broader temple complex, which offers countless photographic opportunities beyond the main attraction

The entry fee is 200 baht (about $5.50 USD) in 2025, and it’s worth every satang (Thai cent). I once made the mistake of arriving at 11am and spent more time photographing the backs of tourists’ heads than the actual Buddha!

Wat Saket (Golden Mount)

For cityscape photography, few locations beat Wat Saket, also known as the Golden Mount. The 360-degree views from the top allow you to capture Bangkok’s fascinating urban sprawl, where ancient temples sit alongside modern skyscrapers.

In 2025, they’ve added a small gallery area at the top where you can see historical photos of Bangkok’s development—this adds interesting context to your own cityscape images.

The climb involves 344 steps, but they’re relatively gentle. I always bring:

  • A zoom lens (24-70mm is versatile for this location)
  • A lightweight tripod for golden hour shots
  • Water and a small towel (it gets hot on the climb!)

Urban Landscape Photography Spots

Mahanakhon Skywalk

Bangkok’s tallest building offers spectacular photography opportunities from its 78th floor glass-floored observation deck. At 850 baht (about $24 USD) in 2025, it’s not cheap, but the photos you’ll get are worth the splurge.

Visit during the “golden hours”—either sunrise (opens at 9am, so you’ll miss true sunrise) or sunset (around 5:30-6:30pm depending on the season). The sunset slot books up quickly, especially on weekends, so reserve online in advance.

I learned through an embarrassing experience that tripods aren’t allowed, but you can bring a small GorillaPod or similar flexible mini-tripod. The glass panels are kept meticulously clean, but check for reflections when shooting through them.

Chao Phraya River Ferry at Sunset

One of my favorite—and most affordable—photo opportunities is simply riding the Chao Phraya Express Boat during golden hour. For just 15 baht (about $0.40), you’ll get constantly changing views of temples, hotels, and local life along the river.

For the best experience:

  • Take the orange flag boat (tourist boat) from Sathorn/Central Pier around 5pm
  • Sit on the right side when heading north for the best temple views
  • Be ready to shoot quickly as views change rapidly
  • Use a fast shutter speed (at least 1/125) to compensate for boat movement

I once dropped my lens cap into the Chao Phraya while changing lenses on the rocking boat—secure everything carefully!

Airplane Spotting at Baiyoke Sky Bar

This is a hidden gem for aviation photographers. While tourists flock to more famous rooftop bars, the 83rd floor of Baiyoke Tower II offers unique views directly in line with approaching flights to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

With a 400mm lens, you can capture impressive shots of planes against Bangkok’s urban backdrop. The bar has a minimum spend of 300 baht (about $8.50) in 2025, much less than most rooftop establishments. The best time is between 4-6pm when the light is good and multiple international flights are arriving.

Vibrant Market Photography

Talat Rot Fai (Train Night Market Ratchada)

For stunning night photography with vibrant colors, Talat Rot Fai Market at Ratchada is unbeatable. The colorful tented roofs create a mesmerizing pattern when viewed from above.

The best vantage point is from the upper levels of the Esplanade Mall parking garage, where you can capture the entire market from above. I recommend:

  • Arriving around 7pm when the market is fully set up but not too crowded
  • Using a tripod for long exposure shots (the security guards are usually fine with photographers)
  • Experimenting with focal lengths (both wide-angle for the entire scene and telephoto for details)

In 2025, the market has expanded with a new section featuring artisanal crafts that make for compelling close-up photography subjects.

A local tip: Many Thai photographers use the phrase “khor thot krup/ka, kor tay rup dai mai?” (Excuse me, may I take a photo?) when photographing vendors or their goods. A smile and respectful request almost always gets a positive response.

Khlong Toei Fresh Market

Bangkok’s largest fresh market offers raw, authentic photography opportunities that feel worlds away from the polished shopping malls. The morning light filtering through the market’s corrugated roof creates dramatic beams that illuminate the colorful produce and busy vendors.

Visit between 6-8am for the best light and most activity. Remember that this is a working market where locals shop, not a tourist attraction. My approach:

  • Start with general atmospheric shots before approaching individuals
  • Purchase small items from vendors before photographing their stalls
  • Use a fast prime lens (35mm or 50mm) that works well in low light
  • Consider black and white processing for some images to emphasize texture and contrast

The fish section is particularly photogenic, but be prepared for wet floors and strong smells. When I first visited, I slipped spectacularly on a puddle while backing up for a shot—wear non-slip shoes!

Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)

Open 24 hours, this flower market is at its most photogenic between 2-4am when fresh shipments arrive and vendors are creating elaborate arrangements. If that’s too early (I can relate!), sunset until about 9pm also offers excellent photography opportunities with good artificial lighting.

Time Activity Photography Notes
2am-4am Fresh deliveries and wholesale activity Authentic working atmosphere, challenging lighting
8am-11am Morning retail shopping Good natural light, moderately busy
5pm-9pm Evening retail shopping Beautiful artificial lighting, vibrant atmosphere

The colors here are extraordinary—bring a macro lens if you have one for close-ups of the intricate floral arrangements and individual blooms. In 2025, part of the market has been renovated with better lighting, while the older sections maintain their charmingly chaotic atmosphere.

Hidden Gem Photography Locations

Airplane Graveyard

One of Bangkok’s most unusual photography spots is the airplane graveyard in the eastern suburb of Ramkhamhaeng. Several decommissioned aircraft sit in an empty lot, creating a post-apocalyptic scene that’s catnip for photographers.

This location has changed since I first visited years ago. In 2025, access is more formal, with an entrance fee of 200 baht (about $5.50). The site is technically on private property, and a family lives there as caretakers.

I recommend:

  • Visiting in the late afternoon when the light streams beautifully through the broken fuselages
  • Bringing a wide-angle lens for interior shots
  • Wearing closed shoes as there can be sharp metal parts
  • Setting aside 1-2 hours to fully explore

To get there, take the Airport Rail Link to Ramkhamhaeng station, then a short taxi ride, or use the 60 or 93 bus. Show the driver “แนวเฮลิคอปเตอร์” (helicopter graveyard) on your phone if you don’t speak Thai.

Sathorn Unique Tower (Ghost Tower)

I need to start with an important update: As of 2025, accessing the abandoned Sathorn Unique Tower is strictly prohibited, with security guards and fines for trespassers. Instead, you can now photograph this iconic abandoned skyscraper from several excellent vantage points:

  • Lebua State Tower’s rooftop bar – Offers direct views of the Ghost Tower
  • Saphan Taksin BTS station – The walkway provides a good angle
  • Chao Phraya river ferry – Passing by gives interesting perspectives

The best time to photograph it is during the blue hour (just after sunset), when the contrast between the dark abandoned structure and the lit buildings around it creates a compelling visual story.

Ban Bat (Monk’s Bowl Village)

For cultural photography off the typical tourist path, visit Ban Bat in the Banglamphu area, where artisans still hand-craft alms bowls for Buddhist monks using traditional methods.

Unlike many “traditional craft” demonstrations set up for tourists, this is a genuine community where the craft has been practiced for generations. In 2025, only about five families continue this tradition, making it even more important to document.

Visit between 9am-4pm on weekdays when workshops are active. The community is located in a narrow alley near Wat Saket. Respectful photography is welcome, but I always:

  • Ask permission before photographing individuals (“kor tay rup dai mai?“)
  • Purchase a small bowl as a token of appreciation (prices range from 400-2,000 baht depending on size and intricacy)
  • Show artisans the photos I’ve taken

The metalworking creates beautiful sparks and reflections—experiment with different shutter speeds to capture the motion of their craft.

Street Photography Hotspots

Chinatown (Yaowarat)

Bangkok’s Chinatown offers possibly the richest street photography opportunities in the city. The neon signs, street food vendors, narrow alleys, and constant activity create a sensory and visual feast.

The best time to photograph Yaowarat is between 6-9pm when the neon signs are lit, street food stalls are in full swing, and the crowds create a bustling atmosphere without being overwhelming.

My favorite specific spots within Chinatown include:

  • Sampeng Lane – A narrow market alley where shop goods spill into the walkway
  • Tian Fah Foundation Hospital – The entrance arch makes a perfect frame for street scenes
  • Soi Nana (off Charoen Krung Rd) – Hip bars with interesting lighting and local creative types

I once waited 45 minutes for the perfect shot of an elderly man making traditional bamboo dim sum steamers, only to have my camera battery die just as he looked up with a beautiful smile. Always carry spare batteries in Bangkok—the heat drains them faster than you expect!

Charoen Krung Road

Bangkok’s oldest paved road has transformed in recent years, becoming a fascinating blend of old shophouses, trendy galleries, and street art. The area around Soi 28-36 has become a hub for Bangkok’s creative scene in 2025.

I recommend:

  • Starting at River City complex and walking north
  • Exploring side streets where much of the interesting street art is located
  • Visiting on weekends when Warehouse 30 and other creative spaces host events

The contrast between traditional businesses (medicine shops, hardware stores) and new galleries creates compelling visual juxtapositions. Look for interesting reflections in the older shop windows, which often create layered compositions.

Victory Monument and Soi Rangnam

This area offers excellent opportunities to capture everyday Bangkok life away from major tourist centers. The circular traffic pattern around Victory Monument creates interesting movement for long exposure photography, especially at dusk.

Soi Rangnam, leading away from the monument, is lined with a mix of street food vendors, massage shops, and local bars that make for authentic street photography. The King Power Mahanakhon building is visible in the background from certain angles, creating an interesting contrast between local street life and modern architecture.

Visit around 4-7pm when office workers are heading home and street vendors are setting up for the evening crowd. I found this area particularly good for candid portraits, as it’s less touristy and people are more natural in their behavior.

Rainy Season Photography Opportunities

Reflections in Lumpini Park

Bangkok’s rainy season (roughly May-October) presents unique photography opportunities. Lumpini Park, the city’s largest central green space, becomes particularly photogenic after rainfall, with puddles creating mirror-like reflections of the surrounding skyscrapers.

Visit just after a rain shower when:

  • The air is clear of pollution
  • Puddles are still present but people have returned to the park
  • The golden hour light creates warm tones against the rain-cleaned scene

The monitor lizards that inhabit the park are more active during rainy season, offering wildlife photography opportunities in an urban setting. Keep a respectful distance—they’re generally harmless but can move surprisingly quickly!

I always bring a microfiber cloth to wipe my lens, as the post-rain humidity causes condensation when moving between air-conditioned spaces and the outdoors.

Bangkok Canals (Khlongs) During Monsoon

The old canal network of Bangkok becomes especially atmospheric during rainy season. The khlong boats continue running even during heavy rain, creating dramatic scenes of everyday life continuing amidst the downpour.

Khlong Saen Saeb boat pier at Pratunam offers excellent photography opportunities, particularly the interchange at Pratunam where the covered waiting area allows you to keep your gear dry while shooting. The area under Phan Fa Lilat Bridge also provides good shelter for photographing canal life.

For camera protection, I use:

  • A simple rain cover (even a plastic bag with a hole for the lens works in a pinch)
  • A lens hood to keep droplets off the front element
  • A UV filter that I’m willing to sacrifice if it gets water damaged

The raindrops hitting the canal water create beautiful textures, especially when backlit. Use a fast shutter speed (at least 1/250) to freeze these moments.

Best Times for Photography in Bangkok

Bangkok’s light and atmosphere vary dramatically throughout the day and year. Understanding these patterns helps you plan shoots effectively.

Golden Hour Opportunities

The “golden hour”—roughly the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset—provides the most flattering light for photography in Bangkok. However, the exact quality differs between morning and evening:

Time Light Quality Best Subjects Challenges
Morning Golden Hour (6:00-7:30am) Soft, clear light with blue skies Temples, markets, monks collecting alms Early wake-up, some locations not yet open
Evening Golden Hour (5:30-7:00pm) Warmer tones, often hazier Cityscapes, river scenes, street life More crowds, potential afternoon rain in monsoon season

In 2025, Bangkok’s air quality continues to be a consideration for photographers. The clearest skies typically occur:

  • During the rainy season (May-October) after precipitation
  • December-January when cooler temperatures reduce haze
  • After windy days that clear out pollution

I use the IQAir app to check Bangkok’s air quality before heading out for landscape or skyline photography.

Seasonal Considerations

Each season offers different photographic opportunities in Bangkok:

  • Cool Season (November-February): Clearest skies and most comfortable temperatures. Ideal for extended outdoor photography sessions and walking tours.
  • Hot Season (March-May): Challenging due to extreme heat, but flowering trees create beautiful elements for composition. Early morning shooting is essential.
  • Rainy Season (May-October): Dramatic skies, lush vegetation, and fewer tourists. Brings challenges but also opportunities for unique shots.

Special events also create unique photo opportunities:

  • Songkran (April): Water festival with animated street scenes
  • Loy Krathong (November): Beautiful floating offerings on waterways
  • Chinese New Year (January/February): Vibrant celebrations in Chinatown

Essential Photography Gear for Bangkok

Weather Considerations

Bangkok’s climate presents specific challenges for photography equipment:

  • Heat protection: Camera equipment can overheat, particularly when left in direct sunlight. I always carry a small towel to drape over my camera when it’s not in use.
  • Humidity management: Condensation forms quickly when moving between air-conditioned spaces and the hot outdoors. Acclimatize your camera gradually and use silica gel packets in your camera bag.
  • Rain protection: During monsoon season, sudden downpours are common. A waterproof camera bag cover and rain sleeve for your camera are essential.

On my first trip, I ruined a lens by not letting it acclimatize before removing the lens cap after exiting an air-conditioned mall. The condensation got trapped inside and created fungus within days in Bangkok’s humidity.

Recommended Lens Selection

Based on years of photographing Bangkok, these are the lenses I find most useful:

Lens Type Best Uses in Bangkok Example Locations
Wide-angle zoom (16-35mm) Temple interiors, markets, architecture Wat Pho, Talat Rot Fai, shophouses
Standard zoom (24-70mm) Street photography, general purpose Chinatown, Chao Phraya riverfront
Telephoto zoom (70-200mm) Compressed cityscapes, portraits from a distance Golden Mount views, canal life
Fast prime (35mm or 50mm f/1.8) Low light situations, street portraits Night markets, evening temple visits

If I had to choose just one lens for Bangkok, it would be a 24-70mm f/2.8. Its versatility handles most situations well, from temples to street scenes to portraits.

Practical Accessories

Beyond cameras and lenses, these items have proven invaluable:

  • Lightweight travel tripod: Essential for night photography and temple interiors. Many high-end hotels and some tourist attractions restrict large tripods, so a compact one is preferable.
  • ND filters: Particularly useful for smoothing water in daytime long exposures of the Chao Phraya River.
  • Spare batteries and power bank: The heat depletes batteries faster than usual, and full days of shooting can quickly drain multiple batteries.
  • Comfortable camera strap: You’ll likely be carrying your camera for hours in high heat—a good strap prevents neck and shoulder strain.

A practical bag setup is crucial in Bangkok. I use a low-profile backpack when exploring markets and crowded areas, switching to a messenger-style bag for temple visits where I need quick access to change lenses.

Cultural Etiquette for Photographers

Temple Photography Guidelines

Bangkok’s temples are active religious sites, not just tourist attractions. Respectful photography is essential:

  • Dress appropriately: Covered shoulders and knees are required. In 2025, major temples like Wat Phra Kaew strictly enforce dress codes and no longer offer cover-up rentals—bring your own!
  • Remove shoes: Always remove shoes before entering temple buildings (but not usually for the general temple grounds).
  • Ask before photographing monks: A respectful wai (Thai greeting with hands pressed together) and a questioning gesture with your camera is understood across language barriers.
  • No flash photography: This is prohibited in most temple buildings, especially near ancient murals or Buddha images.

I once made the embarrassing mistake of backing up while composing a shot at Wat Pho and bumped directly into a monk. The proper response is an immediate wai and a slightly lowered head as you step aside.

Street Photography Ethics

Bangkok’s street life is incredibly photogenic, but ethical considerations should guide your approach:

  1. Seek permission for portraits: While candid street scenes are generally acceptable, direct portraits benefit from a simple gesture or the Thai phrase “kor tay rup dai mai?” (May I take your photo?)
  2. Be mindful of sensitive situations: Avoid photographing people in situations that might embarrass them or present them in a negative light.
  3. Respect refusals: If someone indicates they don’t want to be photographed, acknowledge with a smile and move on.
  4. Consider offering prints: For memorable portraits, especially of shopkeepers or vendors you might visit again, offering to bring or send a print is appreciated.

The Thai concept of “saving face” is important to understand. Public embarrassment is taken seriously, so be careful about how you approach photography that might make someone lose face.

When photographing Bangkok’s street vendors, I’ve found that purchasing something first—even something small—almost always results in enthusiastic permission for photography afterward. It’s a simple gesture that acknowledges the value of their work.

Conclusion: Capturing Your Bangkok Story

After years of photographing Bangkok, I’ve learned that the best images aren’t just technically perfect—they tell stories. The photo that garners the most reactions from my Bangkok collection isn’t a perfect golden-hour shot of Wat Arun (though I have plenty of those). It’s a simple image of an elderly food vendor laughing with a young monk during a sudden rainstorm, both sheltering under the same tiny awning.

Bangkok rewards the patient, observant photographer who’s willing to return to locations multiple times, wait for the right moment, and engage respectfully with the environment and people.

Your 5-step action plan for photographing Bangkok in 2025:

  1. Research and plan your locations according to time of day, weather, and seasonal considerations outlined in this guide.
  2. Prepare your gear appropriately for Bangkok’s climate challenges—heat protection, rain covers, and plenty of spare batteries.
  3. Learn a few key Thai phrases to help you connect with potential photography subjects (“beautiful” = “suay”, “thank you” = “khob khun”, “may I take a photo?” = “kor tay rup dai mai?”).
  4. Mix iconic locations with hidden gems to create a diverse portfolio that goes beyond typical tourist imagery.
  5. Edit and share thoughtfully, telling the stories behind your images to give viewers deeper context.

Remember that Bangkok changes constantly—embrace the unexpected detours, sudden festivals, or spontaneous moments that might lead to your most memorable photographs. Some of my favorite images came from days when my careful plans were completely derailed by a sudden parade, a friendly invitation, or simply getting wonderfully lost.

Most importantly, take time to experience Bangkok with all your senses, not just through your viewfinder. The sounds of temple bells, the fragrance of incense and street food, the feeling of a sudden rain shower—these sensory memories will inform your photography and make your visual storytelling more authentic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to photograph in Bangkok at night?

Generally, yes. Bangkok is relatively safe for photographers even after dark, especially in popular areas like Sukhumvit, Silom, and tourist districts. I regularly photograph at night but take standard precautions:

  • Be aware of your surroundings and keep your gear close
  • Use a cross-body camera strap rather than a neck strap
  • Consider using a less conspicuous bag rather than an obvious camera bag
  • In very crowded areas like Khao San Road at night, keep extra lenses and equipment secured

The biggest risk I’ve encountered isn’t theft but rather accidental damage from crowded nightlife areas where people might bump into your equipment.

Do I need permission to use a drone in Bangkok?

As of 2025, drone regulations in Thailand remain quite strict. You must register your drone with the NBTC (National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission) and the CAAT (Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand) before flying. Many parts of Bangkok are no-fly zones, including:

  • All areas within 5km of airports
  • All temple areas and royal properties
  • Government buildings and military installations
  • Most public parks

Practically speaking, legal drone photography in Bangkok is challenging. Consider ground-based alternatives like using a tall tripod or accessing rooftop locations. If you’re determined to use a drone, hiring a local licensed drone operator with proper permits is your best option.

What’s the best way to back up photos while traveling in Bangkok?

Bangkok offers excellent infrastructure for digital photographers needing to back up images:

  1. Cloud storage: High-speed internet is widely available, making cloud uploads feasible. Most hotels, cafes, and co-working spaces offer reliable WiFi.
  2. Physical backups: Bring portable hard drives and back up nightly at your accommodation.
  3. Local resources: If you need additional storage, IT stores in malls like Pantip Plaza or Fortune Town sell reliable hard drives at competitive prices.

My personal system involves two portable SSDs (keeping them in separate bags), nightly backups, and uploading high-resolution JPEGs (not full RAW files) to cloud storage when I have good WiFi. This creates three separate backups of my images.

How do locals generally feel about being photographed?

Thai people are generally relaxed about casual photography, but appreciate courtesy. In my experience:

  • Street vendors and shopkeepers are usually happy to be photographed, especially if you’ve purchased something
  • For direct portraits, asking permission with “kor tay rup dai mai?” or even just a gesture with your camera and a questioning look usually receives a positive response
  • Showing people their photos afterward is appreciated and often leads to smiles and sometimes further photo opportunities

The concept of “greng jai” (being considerate and not wanting to impose on others) is important in Thai culture. Respectful distance and acknowledging people with a smile goes a long way.

What are the best transportation options for photographers in Bangkok?

Bangkok’s transit options each offer different benefits for photographers:

Transport Type Advantages Disadvantages Best For
BTS Skytrain Elevated views, air-conditioned, predictable Limited coverage, no photography on platforms Getting between major areas quickly
MRT Subway Fast, air-conditioned, avoids traffic Underground (no views while traveling) Reaching outer districts efficiently
River boats Unique perspectives, photogenic themselves Limited routes, can be crowded Temple area photography, river scenes
Taxi/Grab Direct routes, can stop anywhere Traffic delays, expensive for full days Carrying lots of gear, reaching remote locations
Tuk-tuk Open-air for street scenes, iconic Higher prices for tourists, pollution exposure Short trips in old Bangkok, experiencing local color

When planning a full day of photography, I typically use a mix—BTS/MRT for longer distances, then walking or occasional taxis for specific locations. For a full day in the Old City (Rattanakosin Island), walking is often best as sites are relatively close together.
