5 fun destinations in Bangkok! Worth checking out during the National Day
🔺Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Visiting the floating market is a must when you come to Thailand. There are many vendors on the river paddling their boats and docking on the shore. You can have fun and eat, and it's quite enjoyable to stroll around.
-
🔺Wat Pho
A well-known temple with a strong incense, the most famous of which is the majestic reclining Buddha. You can see monks chanting scriptures in front of the temple, helping devout believers to cleanse, very artistic.
-
🔺Wat Arun
Known as the Eiffel Tower of Thailand, you can see the highest spire of Wat Arun from a distance on the Chao Phraya River. The entire temple is well-arranged and inlaid with many colorful patterns, and the photos taken are magnificent.
-
🔺Wat Benchamabophit
A niche temple near Khao San Road, where the temple on the 5 baht coin is located. Compared with the bustling Grand Palace, it is much quieter here and you can stroll around slowly. Although the area is small, the overall is very gorgeous and exquisite.
-
🔺Ancient Siam
A miniature of the ancient capital of Thailand, the largest open-air museum in the world, very photogenic!

#wheretogo
Tired of the usual touristy temple like Wat Arun, Wat Pho or Grand Palace?
Try Wat Benchamabophit, the Marble Temple. The Architecture design is quite exquisite, lines with the Aesthetic of the grand palace.
When we went there, not much people is around so you can take good quality pics with the temple as your background. Nice and serene, you can sit by the water feature and just chill for a moment~
Entrance is free if it’s only outside/garden area. Going inside the temple proper will have a fee (around 50baht i think?)

Wat Benchamabopit
Thailand is known for its temples, but I wasn’t expecting each one to be so different.
Bangkok is home to some of the more famous landmarks, Wat Benchamabopit is one of those quieter less explored temples but completely worth a visit.
Also known as The Marble Temple, we visited around 11am and it was pretty quiet still. Plenty of opportunity to take in the stunning sights of these white temple buildings.
Entrance fee is 50baht with no time limit, enjoy the decor of the indoor temple and Buddha located in the centre of the area.

The Marble Temple in Bangkok🇹🇭
#timetotravel
What a magnificent temple with a serene atmosphere. There are not a lot of tourists as well so you can really take great pictures of these wonderful grounds and temples. The locals call this temple as "Marble Temple" because its pillars, courtyard, and lion statue guardians are all made entirely of Italian Carrara marble and this easily became on of the most sttractive temples in Bangkok. Please, dress appropriately. No sleeveless and shorts.
Entrance fee: 100
Address: 69 Nakornpathom Rd Dusit, Bangkok

Marble Temple in Bangkok: Wat Benchamabophit
#bangkok Wat Benchamabophit, also known as The Marble Temple is the fusion of elegant Thai art & marble originating from Italy. This temple is such an architectural gaze, a piece of art in Bangkok, though not as popular as other temples in the city. I went in the afternoon, surprisingly spotting barely five visitors around! It was very calm & peaceful 🕊️ The garden around is also nice and you can sip a drink including coffee ☕️ from the little ‘café’ at the back of the temple with a small sitting space.
The temple opens at 5 am and apparently before 8 am, you won’t have to pay for the entrance ticket 🎟️. Otherwise, it’s a 50 baht fee for foreigners. 👚Dress respectfully with shoulders & knees covered.
➡️How to go? I went by taxi 🚕 ordered via Grab app from the city center.

The marble temple in Bangkok Thailand was absolutely amazing it was the first temple I had seen in Asia and I was stunned… first impression was the beautifully manicured garden outside, inside the marble temple I felt tiny, the statues were so pretty and painted gold, the window in the temple was beautiful stained glass. The temple is one of bangkoks most famous temples

Thailand is one of the countries I love the most. I’m
never tired of coming back and visit the same temples. There is something so beautiful about this country, the food, it’s friendly people, nice beaches, beautiful temples and the list continues.
For me it is one of the countries in Asia where they are very well used to tourism, so as a traveler you can have a good experience when a destination knows how to treat you. I didn’t have a lot of bad experiences at all but I think Thailand always makes me feel so comfortable and welcoming. Except the tourist visa application, that’s always a nightmare 😂 but that’s something I’m willing to deal for some tom yum soup!

An Enchanting Visit to Wat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaram
Visiting the Wat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaram in Bangkok, Thailand was an astonishing spiritual and architectural experience. As soon as I arrived, I was amazed by the temple's splendor with its white marble facade and traditional Thai architectural design. I strolled around the temple's plaza, enjoying the beautiful gardens and majestic statues. I entered the main hall where she meditated on a golden Buddha statue, surrounded by an atmosphere of tranquility and peace. I appreciated the intricate details of the decorations and patterns adorning the walls and pillars. This visit was a unique experience that combined artistic beauty with spirituality, leaving a profound impression of calmness and meditation on me.

Wat Benchamabophit
Visiting the Wat Benchamabophit Temple was a peaceful and enjoyable experience. What I loved about the temple was its unique architectural style, different from other temples I had visited in Thailand.
I was drawn to the main hall of the temple, which was built with sparkling white marble. The temple was clean and quiet, aiding in meditation and reflection.
I walked around the gardens surrounding the temple, enjoying the greenery and the landscape. I also visited a small museum with a collection of Buddhist antiques.
One of my favorite things was watching the temple from outside at sunset. The place was filled with beautiful orange lights. These lights helped create a calm and unique atmosphere.

What an amazing temple 🛕, so peaceful! It's not too crowded, which means you can get some fantastic shots of the beautiful surroundings and temples. The locals lovingly refer to it as the "Marble Temple" due to its stunning Italian Carrara marble pillars, courtyard, and lion statues. It's truly one of the most attractive temples in Bangkok. Remember to dress appropriately – no sleeveless tops or shorts allowed.

The most worthwhile temple to visit in Bangkok--Wat Benchamabophit
Wat Benchamabophit is located on the famous Ayutthaya Road in Bangkok, comparable to the Grand Palace, and is one of the oldest temples in Thailand. The temple is constructed of marble, and although it is not large in scale, it offers a spacious and serene scenery.
The temple has a small river, with two small bridges connecting the inner and outer courtyards. In the center of the garden is an ancient bell tower, where one can listen to the bell and chanting in the evening. At sunset, the warm sunlight and evening breeze add color to the temple, while flocks of magpies soar above, telling the stories of the day, waiting for the new sunrise.
Compared to other temples in Bangkok, Wat Benchamabophit has an open space, is tolerant and inclusive, giving a sense of hope and peace, symbolizing the experience Thailand offers to tourists. Wat Benchamabophit has witnessed the glory of six centuries of dynasties, with the temple and monk dormitory buildings preserving the original Thai style, dazzling to behold.
If you are going to Bangkok, Wat Benchamabophit is a sight worth visiting. The garden, ancient bell tower, and small bridges within the temple are very picturesque, especially at sunset. The air is fresh here, where one can listen to chanting and bell sounds, feeling the ancient cultural heritage of Bangkok.
Wat Benchamabophit is open from 9 am to 4 pm, and the entrance fee for foreign tourists is 50 Thai Baht. The temple address is: 69 Ayutthaya Road, Dusit District, Bangkok, Thailand.
The scenery of Wat Benchamabophit in Bangkok is pleasant and the air is quiet, making it an excellent place to experience traditional Bangkok culture. If you want to avoid the crowds, go in the early morning or evening to see the sunrise and sunset, listen to the chanting, and feel the charm of this ancient temple.
