Location & what to see
Swing By stands in the Samran Rat area of Bangkok, close to Chinatown and the edge of the old city, where narrow lanes of shophouses and food stalls lead towards temples and wider roads. Hospitals, convenience stores and cash machines are close by, so the everyday essentials are on the same streets. Bangkok's oldest districts surround it, and Chinatown's food stalls and night lights are nearby.
The Giant Swing, a historic monument, and the Samran Rat Fresh Market are both nearby. Khaosan Road is 1.1 km away, and The Grand Palace is 1.4 km away, while Wat Arun sits across the river. The MRT station Sam Yot is 550 m away, and the sprawling Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in the city, is 7.2 km away.
A good day could start with the temples of the old city, including Wat Thep Thidaram Worawihan and the Grand Palace, before heading to Chinatown for dim sum, roasted duck and mango sticky rice. Wat Traimit, home to a large solid gold Buddha, lies within Chinatown itself, and in the evening the neon lights and street food stalls draw crowds along the streets. Khaosan Road is a lively place to end the day, with its bars, guesthouses and street food.
