Temples & Traditions
An absolute must! Bangkok's dazzling temples are a unique part of the capital's heart and soul. A visit would not be complete without seeing at least two - the architecture is inspiring and the glittering decoration is quite stunning. Thousands of pieces of coloured glass and pottery adorn fantastic structures gilded in gold. Quite unlike anywhere else.
The best time to visit most temples is early morning. It's cooler, and generally less crowded. The temples (or "Wats") are not just tourist attractions but also play an important part in Buddhist traditions. Monks live in the temple complexes, get up around 4 am, attend to prayers and duties and then collect food and necessities from ordinary people on the streets. If you are up very early in Bangkok you will see monks walking around, dressed in saffron coloured robes. This daily ritual takes place all over Thailand and is part of the Buddhist philosophy of giving and making merit to attain a better life beyond this one.
There are so many temples - all unique - it's daunting, so we've listed those in the "must see" category, according to their beauty, cultural significance and high regard in Buddhism. Most temples are not open after 6 pm.
Dress Code - Thai temples are sacred places and you must dress appropriately. No shorts, or revealing tops, otherwise you simply won't be allowed in. This applies particularly to Wat Phra Kaeo (inside the Grand Palace.)
Wat Phra Kaeo (The Emerald Buddha)
One of Thailand's most revered temples, Wat Pra Kaeo is located inside the grounds of the Grand Palace. This Royal temple contains an exquisite Emerald Buddha which dates back to around the 14th century.
No one is allowed near the Buddha which is raised high on a series of platforms, except H.M. King. A seasonal cloak, changed three times a year to correspond to the summer, winter, and rainy season covers the statue. A very important ritual, the changing of the robes is performed only by the King to bring good fortune to the country during each season. The temple is beautifully decorated and has a great sense of peace about it.
Location: Na Phra Lan Road - Inside the Grand Palace complex.
Open: 8:30-12:00 and 13:00-15:30.
Admission 100 Baht
