One of the temples which I have seen both day and night. The size of it is just right not to be overwhelmed. Lovely architecture and design which can be seen from a nearby park situated in front of it. Some cats roam the area which are gentle guardians of the temple. Worth a visit. Just went here to enjoy the view of the temple both outside and inside.

Located in a temple. Good View point of Bangkok up here. You can see the golden mountain and royal route. The architecture itself is quite unique from others around this area. The entrance fee is reasonable for Thais and foreigners.

It is a great place where you can climb to the top of the temple and enjoy the magnificent city view. The monument is very clean and wind passes through which makes it an ideal place to rest and meditate. It is not crowded at all even on the weekends except a few thai locals. The temple also contains a large, around 20 feetish statue of Lord Buddha. Should be in a must watch list.

This building is really awesome!! You can see a bunch of Budda statues in the building!! It’s gorgeous and magnificent!! You need to make a donation when you get in. And you have to respect their religious policy. No short pants and sleeveless shirts. It’s very calm and you can take stairs up to the top!! Every floor and direction you can see illuminative statues lines. It is really worth to see. You can take pics but do not make big noises. Some Buddhists are visiting and making worships. Really nice place so enjoy with respect!!

Good place to go to if you need inspiration to practice mindfulness. English text on signs makes it useful for non-Thai.
