First-timers to Bangkok often visit the city's historic landmarks and famous places during their holiday. All must-see attractions are popular for good reason so yes, you should see them at least once if only to tick them off the list.

But if you’re a repeat visitor, you’ll find plenty of hidden gems that only locals and knowledgeable expats know about. In a city so full of contrasts and surprises, we’ve developed an affinity for lesser-known places. We often uncover or rediscover little treasures, as well as revisit places we underestimated. If you think you have seen everything in Bangkok, check out our list of hidden gems in Bangkok.

    The Artist's House is an art gallery occupying a centuries-old wooden house in Thonburi. It’s most popular for hosting traditional Thai puppet shows, where intricately-made puppets are manipulated by artists dressed in black. A boardwalk leading to the gallery is lined with shops, cafes, local restaurants, and a temple. You can also spot many unusual and human-sized statues painted in white, red and black sitting by the water.

    Steve Cafe & Cuisine is tucked away on the riverside, far from busy streets, with no easy access and with no big signage. Opened in 2012, this Thai restaurant provides a relaxed atmosphere with a cool river breeze and friendly staff to complete the whole easy-going experience. No dishes are cooked in advance, so some dishes can take some time to prepare and when the restaurant is full (which is every night), service can be a bit slow.

    Fantasia Lagoon is a relatively large and attractive waterpark built on the roof of The Mall Shopping Center in Bangkae. Despite being opened for many years, the park is surprisingly unknown to tourists. The waterpark is a fun place for kids and young adults to spend a day with huge pools and decent size sliders. A very attractive entertainment zone is located right below the waterpark.
