Wondering when Mother’s Day is in Thailand? It’s celebrated every year on August 12th, making it the perfect opportunity to take mom on a trip in Bangkok and show your love and appreciation. If you’re wondering where to go, here are some great spots easily accessible via the MRT—especially in the Ratchada-Rama 9 area. This lively district is filled with activities for the whole day: shopping, dining, relaxing, and wellness experiences, all perfect for those looking to take a mom vacation without leaving the city.
1. Start the Day with a Peaceful Visit to Wat Rama 9 Kanchanaphisek
Kick off Mother’s Day in Thailand with a serene morning at Wat Rama 9 Kanchanaphisek, a modern temple tucked away in the Rama 9 area. Despite its urban location, it feels peaceful and almost out of town. The highlight here is the beautifully minimalistic all-white ordination hall and its revered main Buddha image, “Phra Phuttha Kanchanatham Sathit.” This quiet, sacred space is the perfect way to start your mom’s special day with a calm and refreshed mind.

After a soulful start, head over to Esplanade Ratchadaphisek, just a short walk from MRT Thailand Cultural Centre (Exit 3). The open and airy design allows natural light to pour in, making it ideal for taking Instagram-worthy photos with mom. After that, relax at cozy cafes like Café Kaldi or Audrey Café—great for a casual coffee break or even more photo ops.
