    You can see Wat's everywhere in Bangkok, specially when you take the tour of the well known Chao Phraya River. There you can see the real life of most of the Bangkokians living in the side of this river. You can even discover some heart warming experience.

    This temple is quite interesting as it has a huge outdoor standing Buddha. It is nice walk north of Khao San Rd on Sam Sen Rd. It can be a little tricky getting to it as it is hidden amongst some small alley ways but just walk around in the area you will eventually find it. Look for the tall Buddha!! Ask locals when you get close!

    One my my favorite things about entering Thailand-is the descent to either Bangkok or other cities. On descent, most places look the same-but Thailand is different. You will see glimpses of chedis, wat tops. The glitter and gold. Really beautiful. The wats are beautiful and quite interesting, but i know after a few days you can be temple-ed out. That's one nice thing about Bangkok , is there are so many other fine distractions in this city. Just take your time, admire these grand temples.

    This old temple was built before the Ayutthaya peroid.It was know as Wat Samorai until King Rama IV changed it .The King also resided here while he was in the monkhood,before his succession to the throne. The temple is situated at the end of Samsen Soi 9 on the Chao Phraya river ,so there is a nice view .You can easily get there from Bunglumpoo by bus number 3,33.60 . Inside the temple grounds you can see some nice simple Thai style monk quarters and an unusual stone bell tower.Climb to the top and check out the bell and view over the temple..In the main temple you can see a Thai Fresco mural painted by an Italian artist name Mr Regoli .If you want a little tour of this temple ask one of the monks who will be more than glad to help.

    We went to a few Wats that aren't in most people's must see lists and this was one of them. There were two shrines inside...one with a chinese buddha and the other with the thai buddha.

    Formerly called Wat Bang Wa Yai, the temple was built in the Autthaya period. It was restored and appointed a Royal temple by King Taksin of Thonburi who also sponsored the revision of the "tripitaka" scriptures at the temple. During the reign of King Rama I a melodious bell was found in the temple compound. The King ordered it to be moved to the Emerald Buddha Temple, and had five new bells sent back. Also located on the grounds of this temple is what was once the home of Rama I before he became King. The temple is located on the Thonburi side of the river. Take a ferry from the Grand Palace to get there.

    Hidden away on Samsen Road is Wat Intharawihan.The temple is famous for its huge bowl-carrying image facing east, which stands 32 meters tall and 11 meters wide, considered the world's biggest of it's kind.( Luang Pho To). Devotee believe that Luang Pho To can bless people with success,especially if they present the head of a mackerel fish,a boiled egg and a Lei flower. The Temple holds an annual homage festival for the image from March the 1 st to 10 th , a much-awaited temple fair in Bangkok

    This 200 year old temple is right on the riverside opposite Tha Chang Pier.This temple is not one of the touristy temples but it is one of the nine sacred temple in Bangkok. Somdej Phraphuttachan one of Thailand's most revered monk was once an abbot here. Although ,at first glance Wat Rakhang does not look very special it is very popular with the locals who come here to pay homage especially during the New Year.The first thing to hit you is the market in front of the temple with all sorts of captured fish,eels,frogs,crabs, birds etc.The main activity here is setting them "free" in order to "make merit "but at a price.You can also just feed the fish in the river in front of the temple if you want .Just walk through the market and turn right , go into the front temple building ,there is a temple donation box and a table full of bread.

    This is one of the best ways to view Bangkok & Countryside by bike mainly for casual traveler. It allows you to view the local wild life at your pace. The bicycle tour involves taking the local train to get to countryside (50 min.), continue cycling in countryside, the stop to talk to villagers are frequent, along the way we will visit local temple, market, farms, and participate in the classroom with schoolchildren (weekday), and enjoy the organic Thai food at the head of the village's house.
