Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The reclining Buddha is so much bigger in person than you think it will be! The temple is just one part of a very large complex with beautiful architecture all around. We went right at opening and were able to enjoy a leisurely walk around with fewer tourists than later in the day. It was a 300 baht entrance fee per person. There are lots of very interesting signs multiple languages. I would recommend doing this after you do the Grand Palace since that seems to be more chaotic than Wat Pho.

    INCREDIBLE!
    Definitely worth going to for your trip to Bangkok!
    I went at 5pm and that was the perfect time to go. Not to busy but just as the sun starts to set. Got some amazing photos of before and during sun set.

    The drinks are EXTREMELY overpriced so not worth it.

    You can stand on the glass but cannot take your phone so not very solo friendly. The staff were very accommodating and took photos of me.

    Everyone was very kind up there too!

    We decided to visit the temple based on the very positive ratings in TripAdvisor and do fully those 5 star ratings - actually it would be even 6/5 as there are still very limited tourists (the big buses do not come as they cannot earn anything as the ticket for the entrance is 20 Baht only) - furthermore, there are a lot of great explanations in English which help you to dive into the temples background and in particular get a glimpse of the idea of Buddhism. Climbing the tower is fascinating and is highly recommended …

    The place is at a small floating market, it’s quiet without much traffic.
    A charming and quiet little wooden hut where you can spend time doing arts and craft, reading or just chilling over iced sugarcane matcha with nice jazz music in the background.

    This site is commonly known as Wat Prayoon, a hidden gem that might not draw as many visitors but is culturally rich. I am particularly drawn to its unique architecture and tranquil ambiance. Notably, the large white stupa, surrounded by a cloister with Chinese-style structures, is a standout feature.
    Though it is free of admission, you can walk around and inside the stupa. I found artifacts displayed inside interesting.
    The temple started construction in 1828 and completed construction in 1855. Its stupa was destroyed by thunderbolt later and eventually got fully repaired.
    Before reaching the stupa, a small gallery offers pictures and information, providing insights into the site's history.
    While this site is not as popular as others in Bangkok, I definitely recommend visiting here. Since I was the only visitor that day, I found this site quiet and beautiful. It gives me adequate time to calm myself down and being able to appreciate everything it offers.
    Just plan it into one of the city walk stops and you will be amazed once you get there. The authenticity, historical significance, and the sense of calm it provides compared to more crowded tourist spots would make your stop at this site worthy.

    Visited here with our private guide during our tour of the Kudee Jeen area. I think we were the only tourists here. It was peaceful and clearly an important temple to the locals. This provided a genuine experience of a buddhist temple. Beautiful large Buddha . Stunning

    A couple of reviews have said it isn't clear why the model is here. As if historic Thai Kings should be expected to justify themselves to a modern audience...

    Some of the model shows signs of wear, which I've no doubt is to be expected after years of being rained on - so I wonder how much of the detail of the model Is original....?

    Our hotel was on this busy road and it is extremely entertaining. It runs parallel to the river so there’s all the benefits that that brings.

    The road itself is extremely busy so take care crossing. It is lined with shops of all types, bars and restaurants.

    There are also loads of food courts which serve delicious street food at very reasonable prices. We really enjoyed this area of Bangkok.

    I used to live near RCA Area, so every weekend I normally hang out around that area. We normally start the night with light drinking in Paul Panich, and as time goes by go to the clubs like Route 66 or Onyx.

    We made a trip here together with visiting the nearby Wat Suthat on a Sunday morning. Sweating under the hot weather it took us about 20 mins from The Golden Mount to here. One can see a glimpse of the bright red structure while walking along the roads/alleys leading to the City Hall square! The Giant Swing (Sao Ching Cha) was originally erected in 1784 as part of the Brahmin compound of shrines as a religious structure. The poles were erected in 1919 by the Louis T Leonowens Company and subsequently the rickety timbers were replaced by the structure presently. Standing at over 69ft (21 meters) tall, there was a few visitors beside us, took some nice photos and its surrounding. A brief 20 mins stay should suffice.
    WE proceed to Chinatown from here which is a station away. .

    I stayed at Hotel Muse Langsuan, and from there I walked on the Ratchaprasong Skywalk, the most convenient way to reach Paragon and Central World. Sunday evening was very quiet, and at Central World they was a motorbike festival.

    I only came here as part of a tour. Really not worth a stop unless you want to see and learn about Thai funerals. They tend to do this in the evening apparently between 19:00 and 19:30 so come then if you are interested. I would definitely not come otherwise.

    Kanesha shrine is outstandingly located at the conner of Huay Kwang intersection. Kansesha is the god of knowledge, accomplishment and wealth. Kanesha comes with the form of elephant-headed god. People, mostly Asians, come to make a wish at this place. As it is not only Kanesha but there are also many gods at one place, such as Rahu, Trimurati, Lord Shiva and Uma. As it opens 24/7, it is very crowded especially on Wednesday because there is the rite for Rahu.If you would like to make a wish and find a place that is easy to go. Kanesha shrine is the best choice!
