Photography Spots in Bangkok — The Iconic and the Hidden

Updated 2026 · Totally Bangkok

Where to get the Bangkok shots — the obvious rooftop views and the hidden gems most photographers miss.

Iconic spots

Wat Arun from the east bank at sunset; Grand Palace compound looking south; Asiatique at night from the river; Sky Bar view over Silom and Sathorn.

Hidden gems

Flower Market at 3 AM — extraordinary light and colour; Chinatown backstreets at golden hour; Bang Krachao from above (if drone); Suan Luang park at dawn.

Temple interior light

Early morning inside Wat Pho's hall — shafts of light through the reclining Buddha at 8–9 AM; few people, extraordinary composition.

Drone rules

Drones require registration with Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand; flying near temples, palaces, and the Grand Palace is prohibited; enforce yourself on this.
