Must-visits in Bangkok

Wat Pho

วัดโพธิ์

---

My opinion :

Very pleasant in the late afternoon, just opposite to the Wat Phra Kaew, it is famous for its huge reclining Buddha.

Wat Arun

วัดอรุณ

---

My opinion :

or Temple of Dawn on the other side of the river in front of Wat Po. The crossing by tray boat is very cheap (3 bahts)

The klongs

คลอง

---

My opinion :

These small canals going through Bangkok take you rto a completly different setting : very quiet, rural, almost out of time. You really have the the impression of having left the city.

Wat Phra Kaew

วัดพระแก้ว

---

My opinion :

and its many buildings with gilding and refined decorations. No entry after 15:30 is possible. Try schedule the visit in the morning to be sure.

Great Palace

พระบรมมหาราชวัง

---

My opinion :

royal residence which is now used only for ceremonies. It is right next to Wat Phra Keo

Klong Lat Mayom Floating Market

ตลาดน้ำคลองลัดมะยม

---

My opinion :

This small floating market on the immediate outskirts of Bangkok is open on weekends only and is a nice place to visit to discover the life on the canals of the Thai capital city. Collective or private boat tours leave. I advise you to combine your visit with a tour on the klongs (canals).
