One of the best parts of living and working in Bangkok is having so much to explore when the workday ends. From relaxing weekend outings and lifestyle events to unique places to unwind after a busy week, the city is always adding new experiences, making it an exciting place to call home.
Here are some of the latest attractions and activities in Bangkok to add to your list.
Jurassic World: The Experience
If you are a fan of dinosaurs, especially the Jurassic Park movie franchise, then you don’t want to miss this attraction in Bangkok. At Jurassic World: The Experience, you will come face-to-face with realistic animatronic dinosaurs and interactive displays. Visitors of all ages can walk through different immersive zones and scenes inspired by the movies. The experience is both fun and thrilling.
The theme park is located at Asiatique The Riverfront and is open daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with the last entry at 9:00 PM. The visit takes about 45-60 minutes.
Ticket prices start at 579 Baht for kids and 769 Baht for adults on off-peak times and go up to 789 Baht for kids and 989 Baht for adults on peak times.
Fossil and Flame Restaurant
All that action and excitement is sure to make you hungry, and luckily, there’s a Jurassic World-themed restaurant called Fossil and Flame on site as well. The menu and décor here are also inspired by the films, with dishes named after different dinosaurs and created to match their unique traits and diets.
Between the exciting exhibits and the unique dining experience, Jurassic World is definitely a fun way to spend a day with the family or friends in the city.
SkyFlyers
Another relatively new attraction at Asiatique is SkyFlyers: Wings of Garudapterus. At first glance, it looks like a giant swing, but it’s actually much more than that. Inspired by Garudapterus, a prehistoric flying reptile discovered in Thailand, the attraction combines prehistoric history and education with adventure and excitement.

Skyflyers is the first riverfront Giant Swing ride attraction in Thailand and the tallest of its kind in Asia. The ride starts by lifting you 135 metres into the air and swings you around, giving sweeping panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and the Bangkok skyline.
It operates daily from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM and costs 320 Baht.
If you’re already spending time at Asiatique, SkyFlyers is an easy addition to your day and well worth it for a chance to see Bangkok in a completely different way.
Dib Bangkok
Dib Bangkok is Thailand’s first international contemporary art museum and has been dubbed an architectural and cultural landmark.

Located on Rama IV Road, about 1.5 kilometres from Phra Khanong BTS Station, the museum occupies a renovated 1980s steel warehouse, giving the venue a distinctive modern industrial look. But, instead of transforming the place, the museum keeps many of the original features of the old warehouse. This idea is reflected in its name, Dib – a Thai word that means “raw” or “authentic.”
Art and architecture enthusiasts, or basically anyone, can visit the museum to experience mixed-media exhibitions, interactive displays, and immersive installations. Unlike most museums, Dib Bangkok invites visitors to actively interact and engage with the art. There is also a bar and bistro within the museum in case you feel a bit hungry or thirsty.
Open Thursday through Monday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with tickets ranging from 550 Baht (Thai) to 700 Baht (foreigners). There is also separate pricing for students and people with disabilities.
Even if you’re not into art, Dib Bangkok is still worth visiting. It’s an interesting space with impressive architecture and plenty to explore.
Bradbury – Massage Club
Ever thought massage and a party can go together? Probably not, but that’s exactly what Bradbury is trying to do.

Known as the world’s noisiest massage, the place combines massage treatments with live energetic music, strobing lights, giant LED screens, and a lively social atmosphere, creating a wellness experience that’s anything but traditional.
“You came for a massage…and ended up in a party. This place is insane. Music, lights, dancers…but yes, it’s still a real massage.”
Open daily 12:00 PM – 12:00 AM (Last call at 11:00 PM), located at the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 61, next to Major Cineplex.
Prices: 1500++ Baht for 1 therapist and 1800++ Baht for 2 therapists for 1 hour.
It might sound like an unusual combination at first, but that’s exactly what makes Bradbury stand out. If you’re looking to try something truly different in Bangkok, this is one experience you want to give a try.
Nextopia
Another new attraction making waves in Bangkok is Nextopia, an interactive space that blends art, technology, games, dining, and multimedia experiences. Although it’s located inside Siam Paragon, it feels very different from a typical shopping mall.

Instead of focusing only on shopping or dining, Nextopia explores themes like sustainability, wellness, creativity, and community through a series of immersive zones. Visitors of all ages can enjoy interactive exhibits, eye-catching installations, and creative spaces unlike any other.
Key highlights include an impressive art installation made from recycled ocean waste, a beautiful 16 metre indoor waterfall, floors that generate electricity when you walk over them, and a giant LED globe displaying real-time AI-driven data.
The space also features shopping areas like ECOTOPIA, where you can browse eco-friendly products covering fashion, beauty, wellness, home goods, and everyday essentials. You’ll also find refill stations, workshops, and upcycled products that support the sustainability and community concept.
When it’s time to recharge, there are plenty of trendy cafés and restaurants here to choose from as well.
Altogether, Nextopia is a fun and easy place to spend a few hours, whether you want to shop, dine, play, or simply looking for something different to do in Bangkok.
Akara Hanuman Experiences
Most rooftop bars offer nice views, drinks, and food. But Akara Hanuman offers all that and much more. This new rooftop destination takes visitors on a journey through 11 experiences focusing on Thai culture, art, and entertainment.
You begin at Baan Hanuman with local drinks and bites, followed by Siam Societies for Thai desserts and afternoon tea. You can also try on traditional Thai costumes or explore interactive attractions like Virtual Loy Krathong and Virtual Sky Lantern.
As you make your way up, don’t miss Hanuman Cinema, a sky dome theatre that pairs spectacular visuals of Thailand with regional dishes and snacks. The experience ends at the top with a 360-degree observation deck, a sky night market, and the main bar overlooking the Bangkok skyline.
With different ticket packages available, you can choose how much you want to experience. There is even an online guide with tips and recommendations to plan your visit.
