Powder Gate
posted by kgregory on 26 October 2010 at 17:00
The Powder Gate dates back as far as the 11th century - though I'm not sure when its current incarnation dates from. It sits at the start of the royal route and is an entrance to the Old Town. The views from the 44 metre high viewing platform are absolutely wonderful. Like other old buildings around Prague, the spidery Gothic facade is emphasised by a coating of soot!

Dancing House
posted by whahn on 26 October 2010 at 16:55
Frank Gehry's dancing house is one of the best pieces of modern architecture I've ever seen... or perhaps worst, I'm not sure. Either way, it certainly left an impression. The contrast with the rest of the city- which at times feels chocolate boxy in its antiquity - is quite extraordinary. There is no perspective, no obvious reference and certainly no reverence for the rest of the city. Great!

Wat Benchamabophit
posted by bosteen on 26 October 2010 at 16:16
This is one of the most spectacular temples in Bangkok and the last great one to be built inside the city walls. Its also known as the Marble Temple though tuk tuk drivers should know both names. You should take your shoes off when you go inside as it's a very holy site and there are Buddhists here quite often.

Chatuchak weekend market
posted by wfulton on 26 October 2010 at 16:09
TheChatuchak weekend market is THE Bangkok market. It is absurdly large un navigable and crowded. You'll never see the same stall twice and chances are you won't manage to buy anything at all with such a dizzying selection to choose from. There are all the things you'd expect to find in a Thai market- groceries, meat, veg and household products as well as a lot of speciality goods - silk, antiques etc and some more bizarre items like snakes, fighting cocks and weapons. Good luck!

Wat Traimit

This temple would be almost completely unremarkable, were it not for the fact that it houses one of the largest pieces of solid gold anywhere in the world. The 13th century Buddha statue weighs five and a half tons and is absolutely incredible to behold.
