Stop At: Giant Swing, Bamrung Muang Rd, Bangkok 10200 Thailand

We stop at the Giant Swing, known for its use in a yearly Brahman rice harvest ceremony. The use of the swing was discontinued in the 1930s due to injuries and deaths as men would swing on the giant structure while trying to catch a bag of coins in their mouth. Those who caught the coins could keep them! Situated at the entrance of Wat Suthat, The Giant Swing’s huge size and bright red color makes it impossible to miss!
Entering Wat Suthat, one of the oldest temples in Thailand, we are surrounded by the Wat’s intricate murals. After a look around, we return to our bikes to continue today’s journey.
