#Wat Traimit Wittayaram Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The Largest Gold Statue in the World🇹🇭
#timetotravel
This is amongst all the top temple tourist attractions while being in Bangkok! The Buddha which is made in pure solid gold and weigh 5500 kilograms is all worth it and actually very impressive. According to the information we have read there that the Buddha itself was made way back 18th century. Definitely a place that I can recommend to those who are exploring temples in Bangkok.
Entrance Fee: 200 Bhat but double check.
Address: 661 Chaoren Krung Road Talad Noi, Samphanthawong.

Amazing Temple in Bangkok Wat Traimit! Dont Miss It!
The full name of Wat Traimit is Wat Traimit Withayaram Worawihan. It is also known as The Temple of the Golden Buddha because it houses the world's largest solid gold Buddha statue. Wat Traimit is a royal and sacred temple in Bangkok's Chinatown area.
I visited Wat Traimit as part of my Bangkok sightseeing tour and I was amazed by the beauty and history of the Golden Buddha statue. The statue is truly impressive and shines brightly in the temple. I learned that the statue was hidden under plaster for centuries and was only discovered by accident in 1955. The museum in the temple also offers interesting information about the Thai-Chinese heritage and the origin of the statue. I recommend Wat Traimit to anyone who wants to see a unique and valuable piece of Buddhist art.
Wat Traimit is open every day from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You can visit the temple to see the Golden Buddha statue, as well as the museum that displays its history and the Thai-Chinese heritage. You need to pay a small fee to enter the temple and the museum.
There is a dress code for visiting Wat Traimit, as well as other temples in Bangkok. You should wear modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. You can also use a scarf or a wrap to cover yourself if needed. Sandals are acceptable, but you may have to leave them by the door when entering the temple. You can also buy cheap clothing from the shops near the temple if you don't have anything appropriate. Please respect the dress code and the religious customs of the temple.🙏

The colossal pure gold Buddha statue on the streets of Bangkok
A new landmark in Bangkok, Thailand, a 66-meter-tall pure gold Buddha statue, is even more of a photo check-in spot for independent travelers than the Grand Palace, which is a favorite among tour groups. Half a day is just the right amount of time to visit~
Good camera positions can be found all around the Buddha, and the best spot to view the Buddha's front face is right in this alley. Here, you can see the Buddha's front face and take photos with it.
Travel to Thailand and Buddhist Culture
Thailand, a country permeated with Buddhist culture, has over 90% of its population as Buddhists. Therefore, when traveling to Thailand, besides the beautiful scenery and cuisine, experiencing its rich Buddhist cultural atmosphere has also become an essential part of the itinerary.
Thailand's Buddhist culture is quite different from the Chinese Han Buddhism, as it belongs to Theravada Buddhism. I still remember a highly respected monk once detailed the differences to me.
During my time in Thailand, I visited many temples. In Bangkok, the glittering Grand Palace, the dazzling Wat Phra Kaew, the solemn Wat Pho, the legendary Wat Traimit, the majestic Wat Arun, and in Chiang Mai, the Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phra Singh, Wat Suan Dok, as well as many places in Ayutthaya and Sukhothai. Each temple is unique, yet they all share the same solemnity and sanctity.
Walking through the streets and alleys, what fills the eyes are towering stupas and distinctive fish-fin styled temple roofs, enveloped in the unique Southeast Asian ambiance. Every morning, the city is filled with the fragrance of incense, the distant sound of bells and gongs, and the continuous chanting of scriptures. Monks and nuns silently make their alms rounds in the streets, a cultural scene of this nation.
Wat Traimit Witthayaram Worawihan
Wat Traimit Witthayaram Worawihan, originally known as "Wat Sam Chin" or "Temple of the Three Chinese", was founded by three Chinese individuals who jointly built this temple as a place for making merit. Today, the temple is over 140 years old.
A highlight of the temple is the Phra Maha Mondop Vihara Luang, which is almost entirely constructed from marble, and it houses the Phra Buddha Maha Suwannapatimakorn, or "Luang Por Thongkham" - the world's largest solid gold Buddha image, recorded by the Guinness Book. Inside the temple's ordination hall, there is also the Phra Buddha Tras Phorn Yan, commonly known as "Luang Por To Wat Sam Chin".
The Temple of the Golden Buddha - Bangkok
Getting There - The Wat Traimit is located on Thanon Mittaphap Thai-China, just East of Thanon Yaowarat in Chinatown.
Attractions - The Temple of the Golden Buddha is famous for its solid gold Buddha statue, weighing about 5.5 tons and nearly 3 meters high. Many people often confuse Temple of the Golden Buddha in Bangkok as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha near the Royal Palace of Thailand, because all the tile roofs and walls are yellow.
According to the story, in the 50s of the last century, while moving the statue, the crane hanging rope broke, causing the statue to fall into the mud pit but no one picked it up. Until a monk of the temple was informed in a dream by the Buddha, so he searched and pulled the statue up, found a yellow light flashing due to the broken concrete mortar and the Golden Buddha was discovered from that time.
Since the discovery of this statue, Golden Buddha Temple Wai Traimit has become a place to visit, travel, visit by a large number of tourists from all over the world as well as Buddhists who come to pray for peace, luck, health and money. talent. There are many Buddhists who still make offerings, worship many things from gold and silver to offer to the Buddha wishing to have many things as they wish in their lives.
There are also tourists who come to ring the bell to pray for the predestined relationship, to make offerings to Nhu Y tree, depending on the amount of money the ceremony can be more or less.

Wat Traimit Wittayaram Thailand
A very impressive temple that features the famous Golden Buddha. Purchase a ticket in the stall found just to the left of the temple, then climb the stairs to the top. You’ll be asked to remove your shoes before entering. The interior is ornate and it really is impressive. Photos are allowed but they ask you to refrain from taking any videos. The view over Chinatown is also impressive. After visiting this temple, you can wander the alleyways of Chinatown for hours. Great destination!
Travel together.
Thailand has always been the first choice for many people's first overseas trip. It is a civilized ancient country with a history of Buddhism for more than two thousand years. On the beautiful and rich land, there are more than 30,000 ancient temples full of myth and legend and magnificent palaces. There is always not enough time to explore Thailand, as there are too many scenic spots. The must-visit attractions in Thailand include the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, Vimanmek Mansion, Wat Pho, the Chao Phraya River, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Safari World, Dream World, Koh Larn, Khao Kheow Open Zoo, Koh Samui, Ayutthaya, Wat Arun, Krabi, Phang Nga Bay, and Phi Phi Island.
The Grand Palace, is not only the place where the Thai royal family lives and works, but also has beautiful architecture and has become one of the must-see attractions that no one can ignore. The pointed roofs here are also inlaid with gold leaves, forming a lasting yellow color over time, especially shining under every sunshine in Bangkok.
The Golden Buddha Temple is one of the most famous temples in Thailand. It is one of the three national treasures of Thai treasure-class temples. It is said that this temple was built by three Chinese people, so it is also known as Sanhua Temple or Sanyou Temple. It is dedicated to one of the world's largest Buddha statues, weighing 5.5 tons and nearly 4 meters high. Many people come here to walk around the periphery and take off their shoes when they enter the temple.
Many temples in Thailand were originally small in size. Due to the prestigious name of the temple and the support and selfless donation from the surrounding people, the temple has been continuously renovated and expanded to form today. Such a grand scale
