MRT 1 minute! Experience praying to the golden Buddha at sunset at Wat Hua Lamphong, a temple in downtown Bangkok

[Summary] Wat Hua Lamphong suddenly appears in the bustling city center, just one minute from MRT Sam Yan Station Exit 1. When I arrived at 5pm in the evening, the gold leaf on the main hall roof was shining in the setting sun, and the temple grounds were quietly bustling with Thai people returning from work. Although it is a royal temple, admission is free and it is open 24 hours a day. It is a rare "city temple" where even travelers can easily experience making donations = Tam Boon. [Points of Interest] 📍The roofed golden seated Buddha is about 1.5m tall. The upside-down Buddha reflected in the water basin at its feet is mysterious, and many worshippers write their wishes on the statue and stick gold leaf on it. 📍At the back of the temple grounds, there are golden statues of the Three Wise Men of Chinese faith, symbolizing Bangkok's multi-ethnic coexistence. Next to them, the scent of red lanterns and incense wafts through the air. 📍The statue of the begging boy plays a short sutra when you put coins in it. It is popular because you can earn merit for just 20 THB. [Access & Visit Information] 📍Open 06:00–22:00 (Main Hall closes at 20:00) 📍Sandals are allowed, but you must take them off at the entrance to the main hall. Clothes that cover your shoulders and knees are recommended. 📍You can purchase an incense set for 30 THB at a stall next to the exit of MRT Sam Yan Station. 📍Photography is free, but flash photography and taking pictures of monks from the front are prohibited. [Photo Spots] 📍The best light is between 17:00 and 18:00, when the golden Buddha and skyscrapers are dyed red at the same time. 📍Using a wide-angle 14 mm to capture the main gate arch and the buildings in the background emphasizes the "temple in the city." 📍Insert details like a close-up of a candle to create a rhythm in the album. --- #Bangkok #Wat Hua Lamphong #Temple directly connected to MRT #Evening photo #Tam Bun experience #Temple in the city #Bangkok strategy
