Attractions in Bangkok, Thailand Overview | Shopping | Dining | Accommodation | Attractions | Festival | TransportationMonuments & Parks l Palaces l Temples l Museums Democracy Monument This dominates busy Ratchadamnoen Klang road, and was made to commemorate Thailand's 1932 switch from absolute to constitutional monarchy. Equally noteworthy, but for the wrong reasons, is that it was herethat many Thais were killed protesting against a military coup in 1992. The design is of a large copper tray (which weighs 4 tonnes) carrying the constitution, supported by a pedestal. It's a bit of an effort to reach the monument if you want to get close though, as it's in the middle of a traffic circle that always throngs with traffic. King Rama IX Royal Park The 200-acre botanical garden-cum-public park is located deep inside Sukhumvit Soi 103 (Udomsuki and was opened in 1987 to commemorate the 60th birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The park is open daily from 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. Admission fee is 10 Baht. Tel: 0-2328-1385 to 7 Sanam Luang This oval public ground in front of the Grand Palace enclave is used for various royal ceremonies, including the Royal Ploughing Ceremony each May, and is edged by several noteworthy institutions.

Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute Located near Chulalongkorn Hospital, on the corner of Henri Dunant Road and Rama IV Road, this institute contains a collection of poisonous snakes which are "milked" daily for their venom in order to produce invaluable anti-snakebite serum.
