Bangkok's Wat Phra Buddha: The Ultimate Photo Guide!

The Wat Phra Buddha in Bangkok is a stunning sight, but capturing it with the sunset in the background is a myth. Many online photos are heavily edited, showing colors that even locals have never seen. Despite this, the 69-meter tall Buddha, sitting serenely and overlooking the city, is truly awe-inspiring. Here are some recommended photo spots: 1. Tha Phra: Head to the third floor for a view that requires a telephoto lens. Difficulty: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 2. 60 Phet Kasem 15 Alley, Lane 9, Wat Tha Phra, Bangkok Yai: This alley offers a unique perspective of the Buddha amidst the cityscape. Difficulty: ⭐️ 3. Shipyard Coffee: Located by the river, entry costs 20 baht, which can be redeemed for drinks or boat tickets. Difficulty: ⭐️ 4. 796 Soi Thoet Thai 26: Accessible by boat from Shipyard Coffee, costing 100 baht for two. Difficulty: ⭐️ 5. Bangkok Yai District Office: Capture the Buddha with the river from the bridge. This spot is dangerous and requires a telephoto lens. Difficulty: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6. Talat Phlu Train Station: Discover a local train night market, also a film location for "Grandma's Grandson." Enjoy the best basil rice in Thailand here. Avoid the 8 Lat ya rd bridge due to inconvenient access and heavily edited photos. A super telephoto lens is necessary, making it unsuitable for phone cameras. #WatPhraBuddha #BangkokTravel #ThailandTravel
