    Last day before leaving and we hadn’t done Wat Pho yet. A quick visit primarily focussed on the reclining Buddha. That in itself totally makes the visit worthwhile. The size is beyond believe. The rest of Wat Pho looks very nice as well.

    A must see in Bangkok . Not too far away from city . Its about 30mins drive. Avoid visiting during noon the heat is unbearable. They have phototaking service which I don’t quite like it because the photos was not fantastic. The ones I took using my iPhone was much better. Be prepared to climb steep steps and go to the top for better view .

    Nice view at the top with friend go there when tge full moon day. There are beautiful warter falls, plants and bell all around. At the end you can add a golden leaf to the tree and write o it with your wish. And then it is near China town, public transportation and also Grand place so that you can combine your trip. We also took pictures of golden bell, nice view and good sunset of above.

    Positioned at the corner of a major intersection with foreigners and locals passing each day. Just a stone throw away from Grand Hyatt Erawan and Central World. The shrine is lit most days and it’s customary to see golden elephants, orange flower arrangements, praying and dancing. I believe they sell birds as well. Absolutely gorgeous!

    Huge beautiful serene calming. Hardly any crowd except locals and some Asian tourists. Entry was only 100 baht or so. They tried to get me to rent a sarong but my dress covered my knees (although not my ankles) and they let me in without a sarong. Went in June so super hot but nice little ice cream store on the premises, I think they had something to eat as well. Must visit marble temple. Try to go in the morning when they open.

    One of the newest Temples in Bangkok and very impressive. I'm a sucker for temples and this Buddha statue is amazing.
    Don't forget to visit all floors so you don't miss out on all artifacts on display and the Emerald statue on top floor.

    I visited Wat Suthat the last day of Songkran, actually that afternoon, and there were the remnants of the lovely traditional temple fair they had put on - very suitable, proper, and fun. The inner complex requires an entrance fee - from foreigners, not from non-Buddhists, which is legally fine but a bit of an issue if considered from the faith perspective. A very good, self-contained, vibrant yet peaceful place to go.

    Wow. This was a totally unexpected find. I didn't really know anything about this temple beforehand, I simply was walking around having an explore when I saw this golden jewel in the sky.

    Wat Bowonniwet is a striking golden colored temple that really stands out. With bell shaped spirals this is one of the unique Bangkok temples.

    It's not too big but still makes for an interesting exploration. With nice architecture, detailed statues, and lots of alters and structures to look around.

    It can become very bright here with the reflection of the sunlight, so be careful of your eyes

    During my vacation in Bangkok, I was staying in Silom area and I had visited this beautiful temple complex dedicated to Lord Buddha. At the entrance there are vendors selling flowers and incense sticks. One has to climb up marble steps to reach the main temple which has a beautiful golden color Buddha in sitting posture with beautiful decor using chandeliers and the colorful paintings on the walls depicting stories from the life of Lord Buddha are absolutely mesmerizing. Also liked the beautiful architecture of the temple showcasing intricate art work in golden color. Entrance ticket of 40 baht is there for foreign national.

    I went to Wat Ratchanatdaram for one of the Songkran days, and the ven. monks had prepared just the most beautiful, noncommercial environment for that - with donation and blessings options in the main hall, gifting a Rama III portrait and an amulet; a really lovely gallery of Buddha images to wash; and so on. The Iron Castle busier than usual, but still fit for meditation. The Milkey Tree closed for the holidays - but open a few days later, when I was back, and again excellent. And in the devotionalies market behind, I had my amulet fitted and encased, for 20 baht. It is just a wonderful place.

    Wat Pathum Wanaram is one of the most overlooked temples in Bangkok by tourists, but it's definitely worth visiting. It is interesting that in the middle of a big city, this is a place that can be called an oasis of peace. A visit there is an opportunity not only to admire the buildings themselves. You can take the opportunity to meditate. There is also a small and beautiful park where you can walk or contemplate and museum. The temple has many advantages and has a peaceful atmosphere. It is located in the Pathum Wan district between Siam Paragon and CentralWorld - two large shopping malls.

    Wat Ratchabophit is a Buddhist temple located on Fueang Nakhon Street in Bangkok. It was built during the reign of King Rama V (1868-1910). The temple has a unique layout. Wiharn and ubosot are connected by a circular courtyard, in the center of which is a gilded chedi (43 m high) with a golden ball on top. The temple is located near the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. It is definitely worth going there.
