WAT PAKNAM BHASICHAROEN – Bangkok’s Giant Emerald Treasure

Location: Phasi Charoen District, Bangkok, Thailand Vibe: Spiritual | Majestic | Hidden Gem My Visit Exploring Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen felt like discovering a secret dimension within Bangkok. This temple is famous for its massive Buddha statue and the breathtaking emerald glass stupa inside the modern chedi—it honestly looks like something out of a fantasy movie! How to Get There 🚇 Take the MRT Blue Line → Get off at Bang Phai Station 🚶♂️ Walk about 10–15 mins or take a short taxi/grab 📍Located along the canal – calm, peaceful area What to Expect ✨ A towering 69-meter golden Buddha (visible from afar!) 💎 The glass stupa inside the chedi – glowing green, surrounded by cosmic murals ⛩️ Peaceful temple grounds perfect for wandering and photos 📸 Less crowded than most touristy temples = more peaceful vibe Costs 🎟️ Free entry 💰 Donations welcome but not required Pro Tips Visit in the morning for softer light and cooler temps Dress respectfully (covered shoulders & knees) Bring a wide-angle lens for the stupa interior!
