Eerie places in Bangkok
Sathorn Unique Tower: This unfinished skyscraper’s eerie aura is evident from its nickname: The Ghost Tower! The formidable structure was never completed due to financial constraints and was abandoned, and its ruined hallways and bare facade have provided fodder for creepy stories., so much so that even Business Insider has reported on it!
Mae Nak’s shrine at Wat Mahabut: You won’t find many places around that boast about a shrine to a ghost inside a temple, and Bangkok is one of the few! Its Wat Mahabut houses the shrine to Lady Nak of Phra Khanong, a legendary ghost that has become a veritable national icon. She’s so famous, that the Associated Press did a story about her! I would definitely make a detour here just to catch up on her ghostly lore.
Travel advisory
The Thai government has extended the visa-free status for Indian tourists indefinitely, so you can easily fly down to Bangkok for a fun vacation.

Indian tourists can extend their visa-free stay for a further 30 days by approaching a local immigration office.

What to do if you experience paranormal activity in a hotel
While some fancy themselves ghost hunters, there are those who visit hotels only looking for a comfortable bed, a clean toilet, and good customer service. So, it can be a bit of a letdown, to say the least, to run into a ghostly figure during your stay. If you find yourself in this position, you might want to observe some of these often recommended techniques, to keep “special guests” away. Knock before entering a hotel room, even if it is vacant, don’t sleep with an empty bed next to you, and arrange your shoes before going to sleep so that one is upside down, as it said to represent yin and yang and can restore the balance of energy in your space. If these paranormal reports pique your interest, book any of these accommodations from this Bangkok haunted hotels list for your next trip!
