Near Lumphini Park
Erawan Shrine 1.5 km
A small, busy shrine at the Ratchaprasong crossroads holding a golden image of Phra Phrom, the Thai form of Brahma. Worshippers bring garlands and incense, and some pay troupes of dancers to perform when a wish is granted.
King Power Mahanakhon 1.7 km
A 314 metre glass tower in Silom, its sides cut by a spiral of jutting cubes that makes it look half unbuilt. It opened in 2016 as the tallest building in Thailand, and its rooftop deck has a glass floor over the city.
Siam Square 1.7 km
A grid of shops, cafes and tutoring schools at the corner of Phaya Thai and Rama I roads, owned by Chulalongkorn University. Skywalks link it to MBK Center and Siam Paragon, and it is where Bangkok's teenagers come to see and be seen.

An aquarium beneath the Siam Paragon mall, among the largest in Southeast Asia. Its 10,000 square metres and about five million litres of water hold hundreds of species, with a walk-through tunnel under the sharks and rays.
