On the first day of the new year, I chose to go to Watergate Temple to worship Buddha. The closer I got to the destination, the more I admired the magnificence of the Buddha. In addition to the Big Buddha, don’t miss the white pagoda. There is a green pagoda hidden inside, with exquisite craftsmanship. You must visit it! Going outside, you can see the back of the Buddha from another angle. In addition, you can take pictures of different Buddha statues when you leave Watergate Temple and go to the other side of the bridge. There is a small river in front of you, and you can also take a boat to enjoy the Buddha statue ❤️ Transportation to Watergate Temple📌Take the MRT to Bang Phai Station and you can arrive in 10 minutes on foot👣 #2024Travel Review

#The third trip to Thailand 🇹🇭 I really love Thailand 🇹🇭. I must go to Thailand once a year. It's not as scary as it's said online. Be careful not to go out too late at night and don't show off your wealth. The most recommended transportation in Thailand is renting a motorcycle for free travel. Don't be too shy. You can directly use your phone navigation to get there. Picture ① - ②: Taking a photo of the Buddha at Shuimen Temple for navigation 🧭 Address: Masiona Tree&Coffee Cafe. After navigation, there will be signs at the entrance of the alley. Follow the signs to reach this check-in point for free. Photos ③ - ⑥: Three Headed Elephant Museum Photo Navigation 🧭 Route: The Erawan Museum (Admission Ticket) 🎫 56/1 people can be purchased in advance on KIook. Shoes need to be dragged when entering the venue, food and drinks cannot be brought in, and short skirts are not allowed. Long skirts must be worn, and a coat needs to be added on the outside. Figure ⑦ - ⑧: About Beef Buffet Navigation) 🧭 Address: About Beef (This buffet is highly recommended, the only downside is that it doesn't have air conditioning and it's a bit hot. There are also many things, and mine costs 998 baht) ➕ 49 baht beverage, seasoning fee totaling 1047 baht. If you don't want to eat durian, there are cheaper set meals to choose from. If there are many people, you can go to pick it up earlier. Durian is particularly delicious and soft #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #thailand

At Wat Pratunam in Bangkok, my husband and I found a quiet corner to sit and relax, immersing ourselves in the peaceful atmosphere of the temple. We looked up at the glass pagoda on the top floor, which shone with golden light indoors, majestic and serene. At that moment, we were in no hurry to go anywhere, just quietly enjoying the peace of the moment and reflecting on life. The tranquility of this temple made me realize that life should be about seeing the world and experiencing different cultures and landscapes. In this moment of relaxation, my soul was nourished. Wat Pratunam is not only a religious sanctuary but also a great place to calm your thoughts and reflect on life. I deeply felt that such a journey is not only an exploration of the outside world but also an inner cultivation. 📍 Location: Wat Pratunam, Bangkok, Thailand

Some say finding the best spot to photograph the Wat Paknam Buddha is a day's workout. Even with a phone, you can capture stunning shots! This Buddha at Wat Paknam is currently the largest in Bangkok, towering as high as a 24-story building. Its golden presence contrasts sharply with the surrounding streets and alleys. You might catch a glimpse of it from rooftops, the sky train, pedestrian bridges, or café terraces. To capture impactful photos, take a taxi or the metro to Tha Phra and follow the navigation points in order without retracing your steps. All locations are within walking distance: 📍0️⃣ Take the Blue Line metro to Tha Phra station's top floor for a great view. 📍1️⃣ Navigate to 'Bangkok Dockyard Café' to capture shots in the alley. Entry is 20 baht, which is deductible if you purchase something. Inside the café, you can take more photos (see images 4 and 5). 📍2️⃣ Look up at the Buddha from Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen within the temple grounds, no entry fee required. 📍3️⃣ Capture the Buddha's back from the bridge at Paknam Phasi Charoen Temple. You can photograph the side and back of the Buddha and enjoy the boat views below. 📍4️⃣ In the alley, navigate to 'Soi Thoet Thai 26' for shots of the Buddha with residential buildings. 📍5️⃣ For a riverside photo spot, navigate to '796 Soi Thoet Thai 26'. This is at a local's doorstep, accessible through a narrow alley. It's beautiful for portraits with the Buddha in the background. You can also pay to take photos from a boat. 📍6️⃣ Wat Paknam Buddha & Wat Arun: Navigate to 'At Talat Philu', a café where you need to order to access the rooftop for photos. 📍7️⃣ Navigate to 'Bangkok Yai District Office'. Once there, walk to the middle of the pedestrian bridge for a scenic shot of the Buddha and river. Due to many power lines, you'll need to lean on the railing for a clear shot. 📍8️⃣ Navigate to '8 Lat Ya Rd'. Take a taxi or bus, a 15-minute ride. Capture the Buddha with traffic from the pedestrian bridge. It's best during rush hour and sunset, but you'll need a 400+ telephoto lens! #WatPaknamBuddha #BangkokPhotoSpots #BangkokTravelGuide

📸 The Pratunam Buddha in Bangkok is a soul-stirring presence 🎇 💖 Standing at a majestic height of 69 meters, it shines with a golden glow ✨ 🌳 It seems to be the guardian of the city, serene and solemn 🙏 🌈 Here, time seems to stand still, leaving only deep reverence 💕 #BangkokPratunamBuddha #TravelSpot #SpiritualJourney

I wanted to capture the imposing presence of the Buddha as seen in online photos, but it turns out that effect can only be achieved with a camera. However, if you're not too particular about your photos, you can still give it a try! Check out reference photo 2. (Currently, this Buddha photo spot is not exactly a hidden gem. We waited for two to three hours, and even as it got dark, there were still many people coming to take photos. So, if you want fewer people around, it's best to go in the morning. Recommend address: 📍60 Soi Phet Kasem 15, Lane 9, Wat Tha Phra, Bangkok Yai (Buddha in the alley) 📍796 Soi Thoet Thai 26 (Buddha by the water) #BeautifulViewsOnTheJourney #CaptureTheMoment #WatPaknamBuddha #WatPaknam #ThailandTravel #iPhonePhotography #TravelDiary

On the day we planned to see the Giant Buddha, we first visited the Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market. According to some guides, you can take a boat from here to see the Buddha. After trying it ourselves, here's what we found: there are many boat piers at the market. The regular boats cost 100 baht per person, but note that these boats do not pass by the Buddha; they only stop at places like orchid gardens and take about 1.5 hours round trip. To see the Buddha, you need to cross the bridge to the opposite side and take a boat that costs around 2000 baht. Finding the regular boat a waste of time and the Buddha boat too expensive, we decided to take a taxi to the alley with the Buddha (location ①). We strolled to the riverside and took a boat, which was a very chill and worthwhile experience! In the afternoon, the sunlight made the Buddha glow, creating a surreal and breathtaking sight. 📸 Here are our recommended photo spots: ✅ The Buddha in the alley (can be directly located by taxi) 📍862-896 Soi Thoet Thai 26, near Sam Sing Kung Shrine, with a small supermarket nearby for snacks and drinks. ✅ The Buddha at Wat Paknam by the water 📍796 Soi Thoet Thai 26, where you'll meet many fellow travelers. ✅ Take a small boat to see the Buddha 📍Bangkok Yai. When taking photos by the water, an old Thai man might approach you offering a boat ride. You might think he's a scammer, but don't hesitate to take the ride; it's genuinely great! 🗺️ Note: The map is on the last image. 🚢 About the route: The boat circles the water twice, taking about 28-30 minutes, passing by the Buddha, a reclining Buddha, and another shorter Buddha. There are also large lizards in the water, which is really cool! The sunset and breeze make it a moment to fall in love with Bangkok. 💰 About the price: The old man charges 300 baht per person, but you should bargain. We paid 500 baht for three people, and others said they managed to pay 100 baht per person... #BangkokTravel #BangkokFamilyTrip #ThailandTravelTips

Don't miss this place when you're traveling to Bangkok! You can experience the breathtaking scenes without an entrance fee It feels like the giant Buddha's golden light is shining over the city ☀️ - I read a lot of guides before going 📖 but still took many detours 😭 So I've organized this super detailed check-in spot guide for everyone Make sure to save it before you go! You can just copy it into Google Maps once you're there - 1️⃣【Big Buddha in the Alley】 Navigate to 📍 The Boatyard Cafe (It's recommended to take a taxi 🚗) Passersby and motorcycles weave through the alley, and the giant Buddha, as tall as a 24-story building, seems to be right in front of you, creating a visually impactful scene! 2️⃣【Big Buddha Skywalk Photo Spot】 Navigate to 📍 𝙎𝙤𝙞 𝙇𝙖𝙩 𝙔𝙖 𝟖 (Take a taxi after visiting) The giant Buddha behind the skywalk and the bustling traffic below coexist It's not AI, it's like something out of a movie scene 🎬 (If you don't have a telephoto lens, it's not recommended to go out of your way, as you can't see such an exaggerated effect with the naked eye) 3️⃣ 【Riverside Photo Spot】 Navigate to 📍 𝙋𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝘽𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙝𝙖 𝙖𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙖𝙢 𝙏𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 (𝙋𝙝𝙧𝙖 𝘽𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙝𝙖 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙖 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙥 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙡) This is the entrance to an uncle's house, through a very narrow alley. People sitting by the river with the Buddha in the background make for a beautiful photo, and you can also pay to take a boat for photos. If there's a long queue for photos, I think the corridor on the left side also offers a nice shot, with the atmosphere of a local fishing village 4️⃣【Looking Up at the Big Buddha at Wat Paknam】 Navigate to 📍 𝙒𝙖𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙖𝙢 𝙋𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙚𝙣 Standing under the Buddha and looking up, you can truly feel the enormity of the statue. The natural frame created by the eaves of buildings along the alley allows for a photo with the Buddha - 🚶‍♂️【Tour Route】 Big Buddha in the Alley - The Boatyard Cafe - In front of Wat Paknam Buddha - Side alley photo spot - Riverside photo spot - Skywalk photo spot - 📷【Check-in Suggestions】 ❶ It takes about 3 hours to visit all the spots. First, take a taxi to The Boatyard Cafe, which will drop you off at the entrance of the alley. The other places require walking, and after the visit, take a taxi to the skywalk ❷ Personally, I think the view from The Boatyard Cafe is quite ordinary. If you're not there for the coffee, you might skip it. The riverside check-in spot mentioned later offers a better photo opportunity. The uncle is also very enthusiastic about teaching passersby how to take good photos, and you can buy his juice; he'll help you take the picture

The Big Buddha is the tallest statue in Thailand and the second tallest statue in Southeast Asia. Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen is a royal wat located in Phasi Charoen district, Bangkok, at the Chao Phraya River and this statue stands 300 ft high. This place is easily accessible by grab and cost about 600 baht or you can get there by taking the BTS to Saphan Taksin station's exit 1 and walk to Sathorn Pier.

Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen temple was actually around since 1610, during the Ayutthaya period, but it was a smaller version of its current form. This royal temple is located in the Phasi Charoen district, on the banks of several Bangkok canals. The temple became well known thanks to the meditation master Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro, who was its abbot during the first half of the 20th century. Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen has become more popular with tourists since the construction in 2012 of a big stupa named Maharatchamongkhon with a superb vault on the top floor (don’t miss the glass pagoda which is on the 5th floor here!!) as well as the construction of a large 64-meter tall Buddha in front of the stupa which was completed in 2021 and is the tallest Buddha in Bangkok!! #amazingthailand #amazingnewchapters #watpaknam #goldensittingbuddha #bangkok #livelifelah

Recommended garlic shrimp and crab spring rolls! But the crab fried rice is so-so 2️⃣Mae Varee: Also available for takeaway, the tri-color mango sticky rice is delicious, but it can get a bit cloying if you eat too much 3️⃣Chuan Fu: If you don't want to queue for Michelin mama noodles at Chulalongkorn, you can come here. Just walk a few dozen meters to the right of Milk Boy, it seems that many students come here to eat. The mama noodles and tossed rice are good, and their coconut pudding is super rich and delicious!!! 4️⃣Milk Boy: Only bought the original flavor milk, a bit like Wangzai milk?? 5️⃣iconsam basement water market: Too many choices, buy whatever you want to eat, but the prawns are not fresh, the spotted cake is also average, not recommended. The papaya salad with raw shrimp and the spicy squid salad are very tasty 6️⃣after you: The mango smoothie and toast are okay, but too sweet and cloying after a while, anyway not as good as Miss Xiao Zhuang in Quanzhou (missing it~) 7️⃣Hand-labeled Thai milk tea: Tastes the same as in Shenzhen, but half the price, so drink more~ 8️⃣Rua Thong Noodle: The best are the beef boat noodles, Tom Yum mixed noodles, dumplings, and coconut cake. Don't order the curry noodles at all!!! 9️⃣karun Thai milk tea: Average taste, expensive, too much ice, not recommended. Isn't hand-labeled Thai milk tea fragrant? 🔟aey seafood: Strongly recommend the curry crab and vermicelli pot!!! Amazing from the first bite, also a place where many locals eat. If you don't want to queue at somsom in Chulalongkorn, this place is recommended~ 🙊711 Good Stuff Recommendations: In P16, except for Meiji pure milk, everything else is worth a try. In P17, only the circled items are recommended. Comp tea and sleep candy❌, but clean nose's acne essence and sunscreen are really useful, and the Snake Brand spray and concealer samples are also highly recommended 🙊bigc Shopping Experience: Apart from the dried mangosteen and strawberry-flavored Glico, everything else is OK~

🌟 A new landmark has emerged in Bangkok, Thailand—a 66-meter-tall golden Buddha statue that has become the most popular tourist attraction, surpassing the Grand Palace in local tourism popularity and becoming a must-visit landmark in Bangkok. - 🌟 Wat Traimit has been newly renovated, featuring a five-story pagoda and a 66-meter-tall golden Buddha. The pagoda, inspired by the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, stands 80 meters tall with five levels. The underground first to third levels display a vast collection of bronze, gilded, and jade Buddha statues, while the fourth level houses the most precious green jade pagoda. - 🌟 The best viewing spot is located right in this alley, where you can see the golden Buddha's face and take a photo with the Great Buddha. 📍 Location: 215/33 Petchkasem Rd

🌈 As a rising landmark and hot spot in Bangkok, Wat Traimit is most famous online for its photo spot strategies. The Great Buddha must be quite content watching us hopping around it all day, considering that all the Buddha statues in Thailand have smiling faces. 📍 I didn't make a special effort to look for the spot. Exiting the MRT at 'Tha Phra' station (BL01), I walked into the alley across the street. Turning left at the T-junction next to the temple, I followed the alley straight to the end. In just a few steps, I could see the famous photo spot and the Great Buddha, ready for a photo shoot. Further ahead is a local residence, which has now turned into a simple coffee shop 😂. They just set up a few tables, and if you're thick-skinned enough, you can pass through without buying anything to take photos by the river. Occasionally, boats pass by, which is quite interesting. The drinks are quite basic (seems like they're all priced at 50B), and honestly, there's nothing commendable about the taste. The Thai milk tea tasted cheap and overly sweet, I suspect it's made from a powder mix. I also ordered a lemon ice or something, and it wasn't as good as the slushies from 7-11, but sitting by the river is still very relaxing.

After opening, I headed straight to Thailand and discovered a new landmark in Bangkok—the Great Buddha of Wat Hua Lamphong, a staggering 66 meters tall pure gold Buddha! 📍Location: Southwest of Bangkok, about 7 kilometers from the city center. 🎫Price: Currently free to visit 🌈Tour Tips: Because the Buddha statue is huge, you can take photos of the Great Buddha from different angles even a kilometer away. Just navigate to 833 Thanon Thoet Thai, Talat Phlu, Thon Buri, Bangkok 1060, to check in and take pictures. This is also where the boat tours are located, just a little further inside. If you can't find it, the locals in the alley will kindly guide you. The boat tour costs 200 Thai Baht per person for half an hour. You can rent a boat with two or three people and try to bargain the price 🤣. Seeing the Great Buddha, you can freely check in around the one-kilometer vicinity of the Buddha. I didn't specifically look for some popular photo spots; I just took pictures wherever I went, and also got to experience the local life. After walking around the perimeter of the Great Buddha, I entered the temple of the Great Buddha. Those with a fear of huge objects should be cautious; the Great Buddha is incredibly large and overwhelming, giving a very strong sense of oppression. Inside, the Relic Stupa is also worth a visit. I recommend going directly to the 5th floor, where you can see the magnificent roof, with many locals praying. Exiting the stupa, you can also see the full view of the back of the Great Buddha. A strong sensory experience!

Bangkok| The Great Buddha at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen is a popular photo spot for visitors. 🚌BTS to: Bang Phai Station (Basically, you can see the Great Buddha from the elevated train) Start from Exit 1 and it's about a ten-minute walk to get there Location of Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen: Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen The photo spot by the river is as follows Google map location: Soi Thoet Thai 26 The surrounding area is mostly residential buildings, it's recommended for women to travel in groups and not to go too late. There are many dogs and cats around, and be aware that there might be snakes, lizards, crocodiles by the riverbank, but don't be scared, they generally won't attack unless provoked! Just avoid them. The dogs are usually very lazy and friendly! The location I've pinpointed can be reached by boat, which are private and smaller, making them better for photography. Taking the official boats can be crowded and not as conducive to getting good photos.

Having been to Bangkok many times, I recommend a route of off-the-beaten-path and free attractions. One can travel around the city by bus and subway alone. Accommodation is recommended on Khao San Road, which is a paradise for backpackers around the world. The accommodation is cheap and there are many hostels. It is the place with the highest cost performance in Bangkok. Standard rooms start at 100 yuan. Transportation is convenient, buses can transfer to the subway, reaching various urban attractions in Bangkok. Wat Suthat, you can depart from Khao San Road in the morning, go to Tha Tian Pier, take a one-yuan ferry to the opposite Zheng Wang Temple Station, and take the blue subway line directly to Wat Suthat. Wat Suthat is a newly popular attraction in Bangkok, with a 66-meter-high golden Buddha standing in the 400-year-old Wat Suthat. Admission is free. From Wat Suthat, take the BTS subway to the city center, where you can visit Bangkok's Chinatown, Erawan Shrine, Icon Siam and other downtown attractions. Chinatown is a gathering place for Chinese people, with many Chinese-style buildings, temples, and traditional foods from Fujian and Guangdong. ICON Siam is Bangkok's youngest and most fashionable creative mall. From Saphan Taksin subway station, you can take a ferry to get there. In the evening, take a free ferry from Saphan Taksin subway station to the Ferris Wheel Lakeside Night Market, where you can enjoy the sunset on the Mekong River on the ferry. From the Ferris Wheel Night Market, you can take a bus directly back to Khao San Road and stroll around the Khao San Road Night Market at night. If you have time the next day, it is recommended to take a bus to Talin Chan Floating Market, which is the nearest large floating market to Bangkok city. Here you can experience the traditional Thai floating market, sit on a boat to tour the market, and also experience boat noodles and other Thai delicacies.
