Wat Trai Mit Witthayaram Worawihan · Reviews

Went for the Golden Buddha and ended up liking the quiet, respectful vibe just as much — even in the middle of Chinatown, it feels weirdly calm in there. Also, the separate tickets for different floors are a little annoying, but not enough to ruin it.

The temple not only showcases a magnificent golden Buddha but also serves as a museum filled with Thailand's history. The view from the temple is stunning, offering a unique perspective of the city. It’s popular among both locals and foreigners, adding to its vibrant atmosphere. Note that there are dress code restrictions: women must cover their shoulders and knees, and no caps are allowed. The small shop inside offers good souvenirs, and entrance tickets may be included in tour packages.
