Wat Hat Yai Nai
This wát features a 35m reclining Buddha (Phra Phut Mahatamongkon). Inside the image's gigantic base is a curious little museum and mausoleum with a souvenir shop. To get here, get a motorcycle taxi (around ฿40) or hop on a sŏrng·tăa·ou near the intersection of Th Niphat Uthit l and Th Phetkasem and get off after crossing the river - it costs about 12.

Noen Khum Thong Stadium
Fights occur on the first Saturday of the month, or the second Saturday if the first Saturday is a wan prá (Buddhist worship day; full or new moon). The venue changes from time to time, but lately they've been held at Noen Khum Thong Stadium on the way to the airport. Check dates and venues with the TAT office.

Post Laserdisc
With an excellent sound system and well-placed monitors, this is a great joint to watch the latest blockbuster after dark; music videos are shown as fillers between films. Rockers replace movies on some nights, and the bands tend to be relatively good. Quash the booze with cheap pub grub from the East and West.

Bullfights
A more innocuous version than its Spanish equivalent, Bullfights revolve around two bulls butting heads in opposition, but the real sport here is gambling.
