Located in the Phra Nakhon district, the historic center of Bangkok, Sanam Luang is an open field and public square in front of Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace. It has been a place of central importance for the Thai people for centuries and it is a place where the King performs state ceremonies.
Surrounded by famous attractions such as the Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the National Museum, National Gallery, the Supreme Court, and Ministry of Defense, Sanam Luang is a gathering ground for various activities throughout the year. Take part in the kite flying festival around March and see a plethora of colours in different shapes and sizes floating in the sky.
Alternatively, have a family picnic in breezy late afternoon while watching an exciting game of sepak takraw (Asian football). You can also feed the pigeons, or even have your fortune told.
As the year draws to an end, people congregate at Sanam Luang to celebrate the King's birthday on December 5, Constitution Day on December 10, and to usher in the New Year. Once in four years when the national elections come around, Sanam Luang is also where intense and vociferous political campaigning takes place. Location: Phra Nakorn (near Khao San Road and the Grand Palace).
