We invite you to release your feelings with the Feel All The Feelings campaign by retracing "Lisa's" footsteps once again. As a Friend of Amazing Thailand, explore the historic Thonburi and Tha Tien neighborhoods filled with world-class architecture and legendary local delicacies.
Get your traditional Thai outfit ready, then go experience the charm of Bangkok from a perspective that is both classic and powerful.
1. Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan (Wat Chaeng)
Start your trip by dressing in beautiful traditional Thai attire and check in at this world-class landmark. Take photos with the towering central prang of Wat Arun, adorned with intricately decorated floral-patterned glazed tiles. When sunlight hits the tiles by the Chao Phraya River, they sparkle beautifully—this is a must-visit spot when following Lisa's trail.
2. Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklaram Ratchaworamahawihan (Wat Pho)
Take a ferry across the river to continue your journey of good fortune. Pay respect to the golden Reclining Buddha statue and admire the beautiful murals and Thai architecture that tell valuable historical and artistic stories.
3. Santa Cruz Church (Kudeejeen Community)
Return to the Thonburi side to experience the riverside community lifestyle. Visit the charming Santa Cruz Church, an old Christian church central to the Kudeejeen community. Enjoy tasty local sweets nearby and also stop by the Kian An Keng Shrine, a revered Chinese shrine by the river featuring beautifully carved wooden art in a peaceful and lush setting.
4. Wat Chi Ching Ko
Continue your stroll by the river at Wat Chi Ching Ko, a small Chinese temple hidden along the Chao Phraya River. It stands out with its applied Chinese architectural style and an 8-story Chinese pagoda, offering a peaceful atmosphere and unique photo opportunities unlike anywhere else.
5. Chua Jieb Nguan Shop (Tha Tien)
End your trip by recharging in the Tha Tien area with a visit to the legendary Chua Jieb Nguan shop, a long-standing sweet and souvenir shop in the neighborhood. Purchase delicious treats to take home as memorable gifts.
Another attraction of this journey is that it’s not just about beautiful photos. You can also turn this trip into a bonus entry for the Feel All The Feelings, Seeking Thailand’s Wonders campaign by TAT, with chances to win over 500 prizes. For those who collect points via the Buddy Rewards system, gathering 2,000 points and checking in at least two Amazing Thailand Ambassador sites allows you to redeem a limited Photobox. So, you get both a soul-healing trip and take home great prizes all in one journey.
