If you think you’ve seen all that Bangkok has to offer, it’s time to immerse yourself in some innumerable oddities during your visit. Read on for our list of weird and wacky places to see in Bangkok, most of which you can easily reach by train or taxi.

    The Bangkok Forensic Museum at Siriraj Hospital offers morbid exhibitions of the human anatomy. Glass jars containing deformed babies and gruesome autopsy photographs are all preserved for posterity in Bangkok’s very own hall of horrors. This unusual museum is not suitable for kids (or the faint-hearted).

    • Giá rẻ
    • Độc đáo

    Wat Pariwat is called the David Beckham Temple of Bangkok for a very unusual reason. An altar in the back corner of the temple has a mural carving of the famous football player. Depicted in the style of a garuda (mythical guardian) holding up the altar on his shoulders, this 30-cm-tall statuette was the work of a fan with the agreement of the abbot in 1998.

    The 'robot building' in Sathorn dates back to 1986, serving as the headquarters of United Overseas Bank (UOB). The architect behind this 20-storey building was inspired by his son's toy robot. Elements of the exterior design serve real purposes – the oversized 'bolts' and 'caterpillar wheels' act as sunshades and canopies for the building.

    Sathorn Unique Tower is a 50-storey unfinished building that remained abandoned since the 1997 economic crisis.

    Papaya Studio Bangkok is like no other shop you have even seen before. Many have heard of it, but few have actually stepped inside it. Trying to list the amazing objects, items, figures, toys, household objects and furniture tightly packed next to each other would be impossible, but you can’t help but notice the pinball machines, Vespas, and full-size comic characters like Flash, Wolverine, Green Lantern and Batman, all proudly standing next to... a pair of giant rabbits.
