Take Your Horror Experience Beyond The Screen And Brave Bangkok's Top Haunted Sites

Have Thai horror flicks scared you as a kid? If yes, this is your cue to leave! The Thai film industry has been a worldwide superstar for horror films, acclaimed for its culturally driven treatment of stories that transcend your usual scary stories.

Many places in Thailand have lingering tales regarding superstitions and some are intrigued by abandoned mansions, undiscovered graveyards, and tragic deaths. But not everyone ventures into these territories— only the brave ones have dared.

So, if you’re intrigued as well, you don’t have to wait until Halloween to get the spookiest experience you’ll ever explore in the city!

The origin of this horror site can be traced back to a shaman who built hundreds of sculptures of humans, demons, and mythological monsters at Ajarn Chuan Ashram. He merged ash, bones, hair, and skin along with other substances for other statues. Following the shaman's death, the Ashram was abandoned and some believed the statues move at night, and legend has it that they cannot be taken or relocated. If you are interested seeing Thailand's eerie side, this should be your first stop!

While locals advise against visiting the Ashram at night, you may take your family and friends during the day to brave the thrill and excitement of visiting a legendary haunted site in Thailand.

This abandoned horror house in Bangkok is an 80-acre pen factory headquartered inside Kasem Bundit University. According to legend, the demolished facility was plagued by poltergeists, which caused numerous accidents during the facility's construction, resulting in the loss of many lives.
