Visitors may have difficulties due to this place has been permanently closed but you can manage to access this tower with a small charge.
8. Go Wakeboarding
It might seem weird and even absurd to go boarding in a lake. However, Bangkok knows how to turn the impossible to possible.

Being soaked into the water with force is an excellent choice for a risk-taker. In case you feel a bit afraid, you can sit back with a cold big Chang Beer and watch locals talk about their days.
