About Rangsit, Bangkok
A suburb of Bangkok, Rangsit has soared in prosperity due to its agricultural production. Initially, the whole region was a vast field of no vegetation and surplus wildlife. A far cry from its early days, Rangsit is a metropolitan hub today that acts as an exit point for traveling to the north and east Thailand. Some popular places that touch upon its glorious past and modern infrastructure include-
National Memorial- The Memorial commemorates the sacrifices of the Thai war heroes for their nation and honors the memory of those slain in the battle against the Japanese. It serves as an important reminder of the King’s benevolence for its people. An educational tour around the memorial’s museum will give you a deep insight into the history of the nation.
National Science Museum- Apart from the usual scientific exhibitions, the museum shines a light on pottery, carving and metallurgy, some of the traditional Thai technologies. The museum is separated into floors with each dedicated to one aspect of Thailand’s achievements and culture. The fourth floor, for example, touches upon the geography of the country and how it has affected the practices of its people.
Wat Phra Dhammakaya- A notable monument of the Dhammakaya (Thammakai) sect in Thailand, this ultra-modern temple attracts a large number of devotees who can be found in solemn meditation in an orderly setting. Its style is unlike the other Thai temples and the sheer size of the temple, structurally and in popularity, has made it an enigmatic place of attraction for tourists. You can visit the temple to get introduced to a modern approach to Buddhism or to marvel at the cult status it has achieved.
Dream World- Thailand’s miniature version of Disney World, this large amusement park offers roller coaster rides amidst character impersonations of James Bond and Pocahontas. It is thronged by tourists and families with kids who can be spotted taking photos of its medieval castles that are surrounded by well-manicured lawns. OYO 491 5 Diamond is at a convenient distance from the park and can be accessed by taxis and buses.
Where To Eat?
Native to Rangsit, Rangsit Boat Noodles are a unique feature of its canals. Chinese immigrants to the region gave birth to the tradition of boat noodles which has now been adopted as a mainstream part of Thailand’s culture. On land, Gyudon Express is the go-to place for authentic Japanese food. This restaurant’s forte is their rice bowls topped with beef.
