Famous two “Wat” to visit in Bangkok

On Monday, 29/0523, it was scotched hot, reaching a temperature of 36°c, me and a group of 3 friends alighted at Itsaraphap MRT station and walked about 15mins to a wonderful temple named Wat Arun. It costs about 100 baht (for foreigners) to enter and they gave us a bottle of the bottle labeled Wat Arun. The entire territory of the temple is beautiful and very well kept. In the middle of the temple there was a tower 82 metres high. It looks out of this world. I would recommend going up the steep stairs and savoring the view over Bangkok and its rivers and greenery. Opening hours: daily from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm It's time to cross the river to the beautiful Wat Pho (known for the famous recumbent statue of Buddha). It cost us about 5baht each per trip to Wat Pho via ferry boat. It costs approximately 200 baht (for foreigners) to enter, quite a large amount for the entrance. However, the experiences and cognizance that I gained were worth it. The reclining Buddha is 46 m long and 15 m high, located in a sheltered temple. Along the way, there are bronze bowls with 108 coins for you to drop onto each bowls provided The staff stated that it will bring you luck! It is "free" to obtain the coins, but a donation of 20 Baht is required. Wat Pho hours of operation: Daily 8am to 630pm All in all, it's been a hell of a warm, sweaty day but both temples were not a disappointment. Recommend to go take some photos and learn something about Thailand, Bangkok. #watarunsnaps #watphosnaps #bangkokweather #mrtstation #walkingdead #gold #magnificient #rich #cheap
