Reviews Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan
Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan is a beautiful temple where you can explore the stupa and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. I visited on a rainy day and appreciated the sarong provided to cover up. There weren't many people around, making it a quiet and reflective experience.
The highlight of Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan is its white stupa from the early Rattanakosin period, which looks regal after renovation. The stupa's gleaming exterior at night and the preserved original brick wall inside create a sacred effect. The entrance features a small museum displaying artifacts found during the renovation and some donated Buddha statues.
Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan is an enchanting and tranquil temple in Bangkok, featuring a stupa, pond, and lush trees. The kind monks and peaceful grounds make it a hidden gem. The temple, completed in 1855, has a fascinating history, including the restoration of its stupa after it was destroyed by a thunderbolt. The on-site museum showcases amazing relics unearthed during the renovation.
The temple grounds of Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan are beautiful and well-maintained, offering a serene and welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights is feeding the turtles with bananas and papaya, a unique and delightful experience. Climbing the narrow staircase to the top of the temple provides an interesting perspective of the surroundings. Access is free, but leaving a donation to support the temple is encouraged.

Chinatown Self-Guided Walking Tour
A giant statue of King Rama I, located within walking distance from the flower market and Sky Park, sits in a well-maintained park. The open area is perfect for relaxing, though the fountain at the entrance lacked water during my visit. The statue itself is clean and well-kept, making it worth a visit if you're nearby.

View ARUN Restaurant & Bar
Riverside Places
While the climb up the stairs to reach the restaurant may be challenging for some, the view of Wat Arun and the river from the 5th level is truly breathtaking. The food was delicious, but be prepared for a bit of a wait as the place tends to get crowded. Overall, a nice restaurant with a fantastic view.

Wat Suthat Thep Wararam Ratchaworamahawihan
Temple Walking Tour
Wat Suthat is one of the must-see tourist attractions in Bangkok and, in my opinion, even better than the Golden Buddha. The temple features a spacious yard where you can relax in the shade and take some great photos. It's definitely worth visiting if you're in the area.
