Places Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC) is a major convention and exhibition center. Among its regularly hosted events is the annual Bangkok International Motor Show. Several temples are in the district: Wat Bang Na Nai (วัดบางนาใน), Wat Bang Na Nok (วัดบางนานอก), Wat Si Iam (วัดศรีเอี่ยม), and Wat Phong Phloi Witthayaram (วัดผ่องพลอยวิทยาราม). CentralPlaza Bangna, formerly Central City Bangna, is one of the first shopping malls in Bang Na. Unlike most shopping centres in Thailand, it has a theme park and water theme park on upper floors. Royal Dragon Restaurant or Mang Korn Lung (มังกรหลวง) formerly held the Guinness Book record as the world's largest restaurant from 1992 to 2008. It is an outdoor seafood restaurant 1.6 hectares in size. Waiters roller-skate to serve food from the kitchen to the tables. As the district flourished from these attractions, on May 5, 2012, one of Thailand's top 10 shopping malls called Megabangna Shopping Center was built. There are department stores, supermarkets, restaurants, movie theater, ice rink, and a game arcade inside the shopping mall.
