Following is the list of unique things to experience, visit and feel in the city of Bangkok.

1. Bangkok Forensic Museum

When most people visit museums, they expect to see works of art or perhaps reconstructed
dinosaur skeletons. At Bangkok Forensic Museum, however, the contents are more unusual and
even shocking.

There are three separate museums here. There’s a Pathology Museum that displays the bodies of
babies who died from genetic disorders. The Anatomical Museum has the kind of items you might
find in a medical school, such as skeletons and body parts. The Forensic Museum has even grimmer
exhibits, such as the bodies of murder and accident victims. Also, Thailand’s most famous
bogeyman, Si Quey, is mummified here. Yes, mummified. The serial killer was convicted of
cannibalizing Thai children in his local village to supposedly give him secret powers. Today, he
remains a popular bogeyman for parents to scare Thai kids into behaving.

This isn’t an excursion for people with weak stomachs. If you’re interested in anatomy or a student
of violent crimes, you’ll find this museum fascinating. To get to the Pathology, Anatomical and
Forensic Museums, you must take a boat from the Grand Palace, which drops you off at Pranok Pier.

2. Sak Yant Tattoo

The art of tattooing is an ancient tradition in Thai culture dating back thousands of years. These
intricate and meaningful designs, called Sak Yant, were originally created by grand master monks for
protection.

Centuries ago, a long, bamboo stick with a pointed end was used by the Master to ink the other
monks in the temple. History even tells the tale of Thai warriors and soldiers visiting the temples to
receive a blessed tattoo before battle. The Buddhist monks of the temple performed the ceremony
of inking and blessing the tattoo with protection, strength, and invisibility.

Fast forward to present day. These tattoos aren’t just for monks anymore.

The tradition still carries on today, and many Thais have these sacred designs permanently
emblazoned on their bodies. Their purpose has remained similar throughout history. The people
who receive these tattoos are said to have been blessed with good fortune, protection, or some type
of magical power.

If you’re dying for an authentic Thai tattoo and a unique experience, look no further than Wat Bang
Phra. Located on the outskirts of Bangkok, it is here you will be tattooed by the master himself,
Master Luang Pi Nunn.
 3. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Located on the Damnoen Saduak canal about an hour outside Bangkok. This floating market is a site
anyone visiting Thailand should see.

Walk on the banks of the canals and buy fresh fruit, drinks, and freshly prepared meals right off one
of the dozens of small, wooden boats floating along on the water. Sample a bowl of boat noodles
prepared right on the canal banks. There are also plenty of shops (and boats!) to browse for local
souvenirs. Feel free to haggle the prices down!

There are also river tours available that will take through the whole market by longtail boat. The
authenticity of the experience will hit as you slide past vendors and make your way into the local
villages.

You’ll get a glimpse of how locals experience daily life on the river as you cruise past stilted houses
over the water and witness the residents bathing on the banks.

4. Morning Buddhist Alms

Even if you’re not an early bird, this beautiful and silent ceremony is worth setting the alarm for. At
dawn, you can witness the Thai Buddhist ritual that takes place every morning.

It’s called Almsgiving. This is when the monks leave their temple at sunrise to walk the streets and
accept offers (also known as “alms) from the local people. The offerings are meant to provide the
monks with the food they need to maintain their humble, meditative way of life.

The Marble Temple (in Thai – Wat Benchamabphit) in Bangkok is a super place to experience this.
It’s best to arrive before sun-up if you want to participate in the almsgiving. There will be locals with
small stalls set up with bags of rice and other offerings you can purchase and give to the monks as
they pass by.

5. Escape Game
Ever wish you were a character in a suspense movie where you had to escape from a room or jail
cell? You can experience this safely, without the downside of being arrested or dealing with
kidnappers, by playing one of Bangkok's escape games.

Bangkok has several escape room experiences for you to try. It’s a fun and challenging puzzle, with
clues provided by the Escape Master.

At Escape Hunt, channel your inner Sherlock and solve mysteries to escape your prison.

At Escape Break, you choose among several themes where you’re a prisoner who has one hour to
escape. The four scenarios currently offered are Outbreak, Relic Rush, Ghost Ship and Kowloon
Captive.

Escape games are suitable for two to seven players, so it’s great for families and groups of friends,
especially on a rainy day. Escape room games are a great way to experience a real adventure on your
trip to Bangkok.

6. Attend a Muay Thai Fight

Muay Thai is the exciting and fast-paced martial art of Thailand. Many modern mixed martial arts
practitioners train in this ancient form of kickboxing due to its lethal effectiveness. Attending these
fights is a popular pastime in Thailand and Bangkok offers several venues where you can have this
experience.

If you have a local guide in Bangkok, he or she can suggest the best place to attend a Muay Thai
fight.

Rajadamnern Stadium in central Bangkok has fights 4 days a week on every Monday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Sunday.

Free Muay Thai boxing events are held every Wednesday night in front of MBK center.

Location: Rajadamnern Stadium, 1 Ratchadamnoen Nok Road, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok 10200

7. Meditate at a Monastery
While many travelers take tours of Buddhist temples, not many actually take the time to meditate in
one. This is a way to experience an essential aspect of the local culture while also giving you a
chance to relax and clear your mind.

There are Buddhist monasteries throughout Thailand. Most are welcoming to visitors. There are also
meditation centers where you can take classes or meditate on your own or under the guidance of an
instructor. Some of these places provide instruction in English.

8. Jim Thompson’s House, Suan Pakkad Palace

A house unlike any other; homeowner and famous silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson mysteriously
vanished in the Malaysian jungle, and his home became a living museum of sorts. It takes weird to a
whole new world when you wander through an abandoned house stuck in time, and filled with
personal knick knack’s of a stranger’s life.
