Bangkok offers photographers a wide variety of subjects, from religious heritage to contemporary urban spaces. The Thai capital hosts several major historic temples such as Wat Arun, established in the 17th century, with its central prang reaching 79 meters (259 feet) and decorated with porcelain fragments, as well as the Grand Palace, a royal complex from the 18th century covering 218,000 square meters (54 acres) and home to the renowned Emerald Buddha. Wat Pho, with its 46-meter (151-foot) gold Reclining Buddha, completes this series of religious sites that have shaped the city's architectural identity. Beyond temples, Bangkok features diverse locations suitable for various photography styles. Markets like Chatuchak, with 15,000 stalls on weekends, offer authentic scenes of local life. Green spaces such as Lumphini Park help document urban nature across 57 hectares (141 acres). Modern shopping districts like Asiatique The Riverfront and Siam Paragon demonstrate the city’s contemporary growth. This collection includes accessible sites that reflect the multiple facets of Bangkok.
