18 Things to See on a Walk Around Banglamphu
Following on from last week’s post when I went searching for street art as part of the Pipit Banglamphu Street Art Festival, I took many photos of other things to see in this lovely, peaceful part of the city. Join me again as I retrace my steps through the many hidden alleys of Bangkok, you never know what you might find!
There are a few communities who live in this area and this in the entrance to Wat Sangwet Witsayaram Community.
The artists who exhibited their work for the street art festival displayed their work in the most unusual places.
There are many different ways to get around Bangkok and by boat is the most exciting.
More street art at every turn.
Rama VIII Bridge which connects Bangkok to Thonburi.
A splash of colour.
Peaceful alleys and all just a stone’s throw from the busy Khao San Road!
There are so many Buddhist temples in Bangkok, there will never be enough time to see them all. This one is Wat Mai Armataros.
It’s not just the people who like hanging out, having a chat.
Tuk-tuks are a crazy way to get around the city. As long as you hold on tight!
Golden spires of a small temple with lovely blue skies.
Bangkok’s electricity and telephone cable system. I wouldn’t want to be the guy who has to fathom out whose is whose! The birds seem to like them though.
A glimpse of the ‘old’ Bangkok.
Art doesn’t have to be part of a street art festival, it’s everywhere in Bangkok.
And, so are pretty flowers.
There are hidden alleys which are fun to explore.
You can also see remnants of Bangkok’s past. Phra Sumen Fort is one of fourteen forts built to protect the city from invaders in the eighteen century.
There are plenty of leafy avenues, like this one on Phra Athit Road.
I never stopped exploring Bangkok when I lived there. I loved walking around seeing what I could find. I hope you enjoyed the tour around Banglamphu!
