Massages and Other Relaxing Activities To Do in Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok is a city that vibrates with energy yet offers pockets of serenity; in fact, getting a massage in Thailand is considered a must. Whether you're in Bangkok for business, pleasure, or perhaps a mix of both, there are myriad of ways to find a tranquil moment amidst the urban hustle. If you're staying in single rooms near Asoke BTS or at a hotel near the MRT, such as Modena by Fraser Bangkok, you're conveniently positioned to explore some of Bangkok's most calming treasures.

Relaxing Activity Ideas

Here are our top relaxing activities to do while in Bangkok:

Marvel at the City Skyline

Bangkok's towering skyscrapers offer panoramic views of the urban landscape. The observation decks at Baiyoke Sky Hotel and the King Power Mahanakhon provide breathtaking vistas that can help you take a pause and bask in the moment, especially during sunset.

Experience Tranquillity at Ancient Temples

Within the buzz of Bangkok are temples that take you back in time. Wat Pathum Wanaram, nestled between massive shopping malls, is an oasis of calm. Similarly, Wat Kalayanamit, along the banks of the Chao Phraya River and Wat Suthat, known for its giant swing, offer serene surroundings, allowing visitors to reflect and find pockets of peace.

Immerse in Culture at Museums

Exhibitions at the National Museum Bangkok, Museum of Contemporary Art, Bangkok Arts and Cultural Centre, and Queen Sirikit Convention Centre are portals to Thailand's rich history and vibrant art scene. Spend an afternoon wandering through their halls and find relaxation and inspiration.

Cruise Along the Chao Phraya River

A river cruise along the Chao Phraya is an antidote to Bangkok's frenetic streets. The gentle waters, panoramic views of historic landmarks, and the fresh breeze create a tranquil ambience, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the experience.

Embrace Nature Amidst the Concrete

City parks, such as Benchakitti Park and Lumpini Park, are verdant getaways for locals and tourists. They are perfect for a leisurely walk, a casual picnic, or even a lazy afternoon with a good book.
