สวัสดี (sà-wàt-dii), that translates to “Hello” in Thai! Are you in the midst of recapping the commonly used Thai words and phrases while you crack your head on where to visit on your long-awaited vacation to Bangkok? Do you want to visit new places other than the overly crowded night markets and pet cafes? This guide might just be what you need as we have curated four lesser known places you can visit in Bangkok.

Travelling with your family? Travelling with your partner? Travelling alone? We have just the right place for you - Safari World Bangkok!

The zoo is divided into two parts - Safari Park and Marine Park - giving visitors the best of both worlds at one location. Holding the title of Thailand’s most extensive open-range zoo, the Safari Park will give you an experience like no other. You will get on a bus and enter the natural habitat of the safari animals. Did we also mention that the animals will be roaming freely? Yes! If luck is on your side, some of the animals might even come up close to your window!

For lovers of marine animals, you will definitely enjoy your time at the Marine Park as you will get to meet some of the underwater animals. Remember to check out the daily live shows schedule as you can catch a fun and exciting show put up by the animals and their keepers!

Located 100 metres from Victory Monument Metro Station, in the heart of Bangkok, Safari World Bangkok is not only easily accessible but a great addition to your Bangkok itinerary for a fun-filled day!

Who says travelling is just about trying local food and visiting crowded tourist attractions? Pick up a new skill during your travels while you learn more about Thai culture and history through a Thai Dance Class at Bangkok Dance Prestige!

During this 2-hour dance class, you will be taught by dance instructors with more than 10 years of experience and learn the basics and techniques of the graceful Thai dance. You will also get the chance to put on the decorative finger nail extensions and learn the elaborate Thai nail dance known as 'Fon Leb'. The friendly instructors will also teach you different performative body and hand gestures used in expressing various feelings such as love, happiness and sorrow on stage. At the end of the class, you will get the opportunity to don on the elegant traditional Thai dress and accessories before you leave!

Most tourists in Bangkok travel around by taxi or tuk-tuk, but did you know you can explore Bangkok by Bicycle and Long-tail Boat on a guided tour? Join this half-day tour to do just that!

You will start off this one-of-a-kind combination tour by cycling around bustling Chinatown. Take in the hustle and bustle of the Chinatown market for a switch of environment where you will see plenty of high-rise buildings and modern shopping malls. Pass through narrow alleyways to get to the canals for a long-tail boat tour and learn about the lifestyle of the locals who live near the ancient canals in the rural areas of Bangkok. On the long-tail boat tour, you will get to see wooden houses on stilts and pass by hidden plantations that even some locals are not aware of!

Baseball is not a common sports activity; you may have never even held a baseball bat once. Book a slot to experience baseball batting at the Bangkok Batting Centre at an affordable price! You need not worry about not owning a baseball bat as all the equipment will be provided for you nor do you need to worry about sweating buckets from a homerun. All you have to do is step into a batting cage and give your best swing as you wait anxiously for the automatic pitcher to release a baseball into the air. Go and get that perfect swing through this fun activity!

There are so many more places to visit in the Land of Smiles other than the iconic night markets and pet cafes. Now that we have shared these places with you, add them into your itinerary to try something new that many people are still not aware of and start booking with Traveloka today!
