About Hotels in The Giant Swing!
The Giant Swing Bangkok is an iconic structure in Thailand that stands nearly 30 meters tall and has become a symbol of the city. It was originally constructed as part of a Brahmin ceremony in 1784 to prove their faith and bravery, with the swing going as high as 20 meters above ground.
Today, it serves as a major tourist attraction, with people flocking to take pictures of it and view the unique architecture that makes up the base of the swing. The material used for the construction is teak wood, which is known for its strength and durability. Its carvings are mainly religious symbols representing Hinduism, Buddhism and Animism. The current structure was built in 1920 but damages from WWII had to be repaired afterwards.
Visitors can enjoy seeing this giant swing from different angles on a visit there. The first floor offers great views from both sides of the swing while a wooden platform on the second floor provides visitors with an elevated view at almost 30 meters high.
Tourists will also be able to take in its colorful decorations including flags, garlands and banners make it even more vibrant during festivals and special occasions held there throughout the year. Additionally, visitors can purchase souvenirs such as magnets, keychains or postcards of this famous landmark when visiting this location.
The Giant Swing Bangkok is definitely one of those must-visit places in Thailand due to its rich history, its iconic architecture and its colorful decorations that have attracted locals and tourists alike for centuries now.
