I am also going to Mahanakhon Observatory, which is very popular in Bangkok these days.
This is a postscript without many pictures.
I didn’t have time to take pictures because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to find it properly.
Take a buggy from the Chatrium Grand lobby to Siam Paragon(Buggy runs frequently).
It’s also close by walking.
This fountain is where you can get off by buggy.
I’ll be waiting here even when I get back to the hotel.
Go up one floor from Siam Paragon G floor and go to BTS Siam Station.
At the ticket office (highly visible), say Chong Nonsi Station and the number of people, and they will give you tickets (28 baht per person).
The ticket is in the form of a card.
When getting on, put the tag at the gate, and when getting off, put it in the hole.
Board the BTS Silom Line.
Get off at Chongnonsi Station and go this way.
After entering the building, take the escalator down to the basement.
I didn’t make a reservation in advance because I didn’t know what the weather would be like.
It will probably be cheaper if you book through a travel platform.
We purchased sunset time admission tickets.
It is 1,300 baht for adults and 500 baht for children aged 3-12.
Please bring a passport photo as you will need to prove the child’s age.
Bags are not allowed, so they must be stored in a locker near the ticket box.
There is no need to worry as our staff will help you.
Of course, locker use is free.
You can take a picture at the photo zone before getting on the elevator.
If you just do what they tell you to do, they will composite it with the hot background of the building and create a picture for you.
You can come down and get it later.
Frames cost 200 baht, paper prints are free.
There is a QR code on the paper print so you can download the original.
You can get there in an instant by taking the elevator.
There was an exhibition going on when we got off, but we just passed by.
The remaining 4 floors up to the observatory can be climbed using stairs or an internal elevator.
The glass work you saw a lot in the reviews.
You must wear overshoes and you cannot take pictures inside.
A person must take the picture from outside the fence.
If you come alone, the staff will take a picture for you, so don’t worry~~I think it’s because I get shocked when I drop my phone.
I’m afraid of heights, so I could only stay there for about 3 seconds.
It was scary🤣.
If you purchase a drink package, there is a cafe at the observatory, so you can enjoy the night view while having a drink.
Siroccoba at Tower Club at Louvois,icon siamYou can see everything, including Wat Arun.
There are so many people.
The wind was blowing, but it was so humid and hot.
The child was sweating like rain, so I couldn’t stay for long and had to withdraw.
It’s a hot spot in Bangkok, so you might want to visit it at least once.
We went to Shangri-La to see the river view, but I think we were a little less impressed.
Personally, I think there is a story from the moment you get on the elevator.
I think the Lotte Tower observatory in Korea is better^^.
