#Bangkok Itinerary Bangkok, Thailand is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come to Bangkok for sightseeing and vacation. The Chao Phraya River is the mother river of Bangkok and even the whole of Thailand. There are many royal monuments and temples along the Chao Phraya River. This time we will introduce a one-day tour to the old city along the Chao Phraya River. All attractions in the itinerary are free to visit, take photos and pray. No tickets are required. Shoes need to be taken off when entering the temple hall. Itinerary introduction: First take public transportation or taxi to Opposite Phra Nakhon District Office ตรงข้ามสำนักงานเขตพระนคร. After getting off the bus, we walked more than a few hundred meters to the first attraction: Wat Sangwet Witsayaram วัดสังเวชวิศยาราม. This is a 3-level royal temple, an ancient temple built before the Rattanakosin period, originally named "Wat Sam Chin" and supposedly built by 3 Chinese. It also has another name called “Bang Lamphu Temple” as it is located in Bang Lamphu subdistrict. During the reign of King Rama I, Krom Phra Rajawang Bowon Maha Surasehanat he built and renovated various buildings into different categories. Later, during the reign of King Rama III, additional renovations were made to the glass walls around the temple, in the halls and in the temple halls. Praying in the temple is very effective, and many local residents come here to pray. The temple architecture is full of Siamese cultural and artistic style design, which is exquisite and very photogenic. After visiting this temple attraction, walk forward for more than a few hundred meters to the second attraction: Wat Sam Phraya (Bang Khun Prom) วัดสามพระยาวรวิหาร (วัดบางขุนพรหม). The temple was built during the Ayutthaya period in the early Siamese dynasty and has hundreds of years of history. It is a veritable historical monument temple. Entering the temple, what comes into view is a royal-style ordination hall built in the style of King Rama III, without the crow's tail and crow's leaves. The gables have stucco patterns and are decorated with Chinese porcelain. The green Chinese-style tiles face north and there are parapets in eight directions inside the arch. The main Buddha statue is Kasong Buddha in the Malavichai posture. There is a standing Buddha statue with his relatives on both sides. There are patterns of Chinese porcelain on the wall between the doors and windows. There are two white pagodas on the left side of the temple. The pagoda is in the shape of a lantern on a square base. The Monta is located on an octagonal base. Next is a temple in the same style as Ubosot. But the roof is covered with red tiles. There is a Prang in front. On the side there is a stupa with twelve wooden grooves. Next to the closed venue is the Reclining Buddha Vihara, a four-story building. A bouquet of crow and swan tail leaves. There is a reclining Buddha and a sitting Buddha inside. The overall temple is very exquisite and beautiful, and it is definitely a great place to take photos. After visiting this temple attraction, walk a few hundred meters to the right to the last temple attraction: Wat Mai Armataros วัดใหม่อมตรส. The temple was built during the Thonburi period, around 1778. The creator's name is unknown. In 1778 he was awarded the Royal Wisungkhamsi Order. Initially, the temple was named as Waramataram Temple but later it was changed to Ammatyaros Temple or Amrityaros Temple in 1917. In 1868-1870, Somdet Phra Buddhacarya began building a new temple. During the reign of King Rama V, a road was built through the middle of the temple and the name Wat Mai Amataros was used in 1917. Praying in the temple is very effective, and residents from the surrounding areas will come to this temple to pray. The temple building is tall and majestic, with exquisite exterior decoration, and it is very photogenic. There are not many tourists in the temple, it is quiet and peaceful, very suitable for meditation alone.
