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.
Wat Trai Mit Witthayaram Worawihan is a very beautiful and peaceful Buddhist temple. The top floor houses the world’s largest solid gold Buddha statue, which exudes timeless beauty and spiritual tranquility. The interior is breathtaking, offering a serene atmosphere that reflects Thailand's rich cultural heritage and religious devotion. This temple is a must-visit if you are in Bangkok.

Wikipedia Wat Trai Mit Witthayaram Worawihan
The Golden Buddha, officially titled Phra Phuttha Maha Suwanna Patimakon (Thai: พระพุทธมหาสุวรรณปฏิมากร; Sanskrit: Buddhamahāsuvarṇapaṭimākara), commonly known in Thai as Phra Sukhothai Traimit (Thai: พระสุโขทัยไตรมิตร), is a gold Maravijaya Attitude seated Buddharupa statue, with a weight of 5.5 tonnes (5,500 kilograms). It is located in the temple of Wat Traimit, Bangkok, Thailand. At one point in its history, the statue was covered with a layer of stucco and coloured glass to conceal its true value, and it remained in this condition for almost 200 years, ending up as what was then a pagoda of minor significance. During relocation of the statue in 1955, the plaster was chipped off and the gold revealed.

I had a wonderful experience at this massage place. The aroma oil massage and facial were both enjoyable, and my friend loved them. The hot stone massage I received was top-notch, with a skilled therapist who made me feel relaxed and rejuvenated. The environment was clean, quiet, and relaxing, making it worth the price. Overall, a great choice for a massage in Bangkok.

I stumbled upon this cart for a late-night dessert fix and was pleasantly surprised by their fritters, which had a unique twist with a grilled finish. The pandan coconut and condensed milk drizzle was a delightful combination. Definitely worth a try!

One of the famous temples in Yaowarat, Wat Mangkon Kamalawat offers many religious activities in a great atmosphere. The temple has better rules than many others, as it doesn't allow the use of incense, which usually produces a lot of smoke. This makes the experience more pleasant for visitors.
