Temples In Bangkok

                             

                           Here are the some of the temples in Bangkok you should visit. 

  1. Grand Palace and The Royal Temple of The Emerald Buddha

It is the main temple in Bangkok, and the place where we’ve spoken about the dress code being most vigorously applied, we’ll start with the Grand Palace and the Royal Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Of all the temples in Bangkok this is the must see.

1. The Temple of The Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho)

This is another temple which houses a representation of Buddha, but this is the reclining Buddha and he has very different proportions from the Emerald Buddha. The Reclining Buddha is 15 meters tall and 46 meters long; even his feet are 5 meters in length! For me this is the most visited temple in Bangkok. You should be aware that when you are in the temple you should always to remove your footwear prior entering inside and that your shoulders should be covered.

It was built in 1782 and is a truly inspirational example of the creativity of the Thai nation, with its complex and decorative architecture. The site also plays host to royalty on ceremonial occasions such as the changing of the robes of the Emerald Buddha.

 

3. Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)

They considered it as the most beautiful temples in the world which one rates the highest? Its a battle between Wat Arun and Wat Pho, both of them are worthy of a visit and both of them offers something a little different to the other.

The Temple of Dawn, Wat Arun, sits on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Named after a Hindu god, Aruna, the temple magically clasps and replicates the first light of the morning sun.

4. Wat Ratchanatdaram Woravihara (Loha Prasat)

If you’re visiting temples in Bangkok then you really can’t miss this one. Thirty-seven metal spires rise above the main building representing the virtues towards enlightenment. You should be aware that you do have to pay a small fee to visit this temple but it’s well worth spending.

 5. Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)

This temple, situated at the end of Yaowarat Road in Chinatown, is a spectacular site with its multi-level white and gold architecture.

6. Wat Prayoon

If you’re looking for something a little different to the usual temples in Bangkok then Wat Prayoon has it. In addition to the impressive temple itself, the site is also home to Turtle Mountain. This is not your average rock formation, it’s a mound of melted candle wax and is home to a group of spirit houses that are dedicated to those who have died. Alongside the mountain you get the opportunity to mix with the wildlife, feeding the turtles that reside in the lake.

7. Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple)

While you’re visiting Bangkok, check the back side of a 5baht coin and you will see an engraving of Wat Benchamabophit.  Although it was look modern, but it was constructed in 1900 and this is one of the most respected temples in Bangkok and is often the site of visits by leading Thai officials.

Every time you travel I should suggest that you should consider wearing an outfit not just for the sake of what they call OOTD of course wear what makes you comfortable so you can enjoy your escapade.

When visiting every temple here in Bangkok or maybe even in other country. Here in Bangkok is very strict. They have a dress code when it comes tom entering or strolling around a temple.
