Staying in a serviced apartment in central Bangkok has its perks—easy access to transport, comfort, and proximity to must-see spots. When you’re based near Sukhumvit or the riverside, there are plenty of delightful places to explore without long commutes. If you choose to stay at Modena by Fraser Bangkok, many of these attractions will be just minutes away, allowing you to balance rest with adventure effortlessly.
EmQuartier & Emporium
For shopping lovers, EmQuartier and Emporium offer a taste of luxury and local flavour. These upscale malls house international designer brands, gourmet food courts, rooftop gardens, and cinematic spaces. Whether you’re shopping for fashion, grabbing a coffee, or just people-watching, these adjoining complexes give you a full-day escape within walking distance or a short ride from central serviced apartments.
Benjakitti Park
Benjakitti Park is a green oasis nestled in Bangkok’s bustling commercial districts. With wide shaded paths, scenic lake views, and beautiful skyline backdrops, it’s the perfect spot for morning yoga, a relaxed jog, or a picnic. Whoever thought city living couldn’t include nature never walked through the park at dusk when the city lights begin to twinkle.
Wat Arun
Cross the river to Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, and admire its ornate spires shimmering in the early morning sun. Climbing its stairways rewards you with panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and nearby temples. This iconic landmark gives insight into historical artistry and offers one of the most photogenic moments Bangkok has to offer.
Bangkokian Museum
Hidden in a quiet part of the city, the Bangkokian Museum offers an intimate glimpse into residential life in old Bangkok. Preserved homes with period furniture, vintage photographs, and everyday objects tell stories of how families lived decades ago. It’s a low-key, meaningful stop that contrasts beautifully with high-energy shopping or temple visits, often overlooked yet deeply charming. Exploring this museum is one of the unique things to do in Bangkok.
