Lumpini Park is home to a population of water monitor lizards, some of which can grow up to 2-3 meters in length! These large reptiles are known to wander around the park freely, and while they generally do not pose a threat to humans, visitors are advised to keep a safe distance and avoid feeding or touching them.

The Golden Mount (Wat Saket) in Bangkok, Thailand is built on not actually a natural hill, but rather a man-made structure. The hill was constructed in the late 18th century using over 60,000 cubic meters of soil and debris that were gathered from the surrounding area and shaped into a cone-shaped mound. Over time, the hill settled and became a stable foundation for the temple, which was built on top of it in the early 19th century.

The actual emerald Buddha statue located inside the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) temple is not made of emerald at all. Instead, it is carved from a single piece of green jade and was named the "Emerald Buddha" because of its striking green color.

The Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand is believed to be haunted by the ghost of a former king. According to legend, King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) is said to haunt the palace, and some people claim to have seen his ghost walking around the grounds at night. It is said that the king's spirit is still attached to the palace because he spent much of his life there and oversaw the construction of many of its buildings. While there is no concrete evidence to support these claims, they have become part of the palace's folklore and add to its mystique.

The Temple of Dawn's (Wat Arun) central prang (spire) is not only decorated with traditional Buddhist iconography but also contains fragments of Chinese porcelain. The porcelain pieces were used as ballast by trading ships that arrived at the nearby port, and when the ships were unloaded, the porcelain was used to decorate the spire of the temple. This unique combination of Thai and Chinese design elements makes the Temple of Dawn a truly unique and fascinating cultural landmark.
