Three must-visit temples in Bangkok!

✅ In Bangkok, this beautiful land, you will experience the unique charm of culture, immerse yourself in the tranquility of ancient temples, kneel before Buddha statues, and feel the peace of mind and body. : The Temple of the Emerald Buddha—"The most sacred temple in Thailand" ✨ There are thousands of temples in Thailand, but you must visit the Temple of the Emerald Buddha first. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is the most sacred temple in Thailand, and the Emerald Buddha it houses is one of the three great national treasures of Thailand. ✳️ The Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Grand Palace are connected, and the usual order of visit is to tour the Temple of the Emerald Buddha first. Those beautiful murals of love stories, that incredibly beautiful era of Siam seem to come alive before your eyes. 🎫 Ticket: 500 baht ⏰ Opening hours: 08:30-15:30 : Wat Pho—The oldest temple in all of Bangkok 🌟 Wat Pho is the largest temple in Thailand, and many Chinese elements can be seen in the temple, such as lions and door gods, said to be the products of past maritime trade. Of course, everyone goes for the big Buddha, a 46-meter-long Buddha lying on the altar, occupying almost the entire space of the main hall. ✨ In addition to the main hall, there are many other Buddhas, large and small, throughout the temple. There are 99 stupas of various sizes, hence it is also known as the forest of stupas, each inscribed with different epitaphs. ❗️ Therefore, when visiting Wat Pho, you must calm down and take your time. A quick glance will hardly allow you to appreciate that kind of awe. 🎫 Ticket: 200 baht ⏰ Opening hours: 09:00-18:30 : Wat Arun—The Eiffel Tower of Southeast Asia ✨ Once you arrive at Wat Arun, you will understand why there are so many temples in Thailand, and yet each one has its own worth visiting points. Unlike other glittering temples, Wat Arun has a unique freshness. 🥰 It was built in 1842 and is a Mahayana relic stupa style. The spire is decorated with intricate carvings, inlaid with various colored ceramic pieces, glass, and seashells, both fresh and sacred. ✨✨✨ A flower represents a world, a leaf represents enlightenment. From the overall architecture to a flower, from a flower to its roots and branches, from the roots to the leaves, and then to the details inside, all the details are telling different stories, as if they are also telling the same story. 🎫 Ticket: 30 baht ⏰ Opening hours: 08:30-17:30 ⚠️⚠️tips: When visiting Thai temples, the following customs and taboos should be noted ❣️1. Do not wear sleeveless tops, vests, tank tops, or overly revealing clothes. ❣️2. Do not wear shorts or skirts that are above the knee. ❣️3. Be sure to take off your shoes before entering the main hall, do not step on the threshold, just step over it. ❣️4. Do not touch the Buddha statues ❣️5. Remember to fulfill your vows after making a wish to Buddha
