After visiting the Grand Palace, you can walk along the outer wall for 10 minutes. The tickets are only 100B, and there are no tour groups full of people. They are relatively free to travel and foreign visitors. They are quiet and can be observed quietly. The biggest feature of the monastery is the super-large statue of the Buddha lying in bed. It needs to take off shoes when entering. There are shoe bags at the entrance, which can be carried around. Compared with the great palace, the monastery is located at the entrance. It is relatively safe to hear that expensive shoes have been taken away by guides. Of course, there are all kinds of beautiful pagodas. We happened to meet the Canal Tourism Festival held in the temple that afternoon. Many cameras recorded the festival. It seems that many officials attended the festival. There were performances and free drinks and delicious food. If you don't want to see too much noise and Buddhist temples, here is a good choice. There is a couple cart selling fried chicken legs at the door. It's super delicious. As long as it's 20B, I regret not buying one more.

    Tourist spot but the temple continue to serve its religious purposes. Awesome and clean place. DO NOTE: WEAR PROPER ATTIRE (long pants) Bunch of tuk tuk will be outside waiting for you. No worries about not getting any transport.

    It is really a beautiful temple with a remarkable inspiring reclining Buddha that draws your spirit away from your daily routine. It is a must visit attraction in Bangkok.

    A complex of beautiful Buddhist temples with Buddha’s of various sizes including the reclining Buddha. it also has a few small museums/ information centres that give further information on the birth and techniques of Thai massage and the school for Thai massage therapists is also within this complex. But more interesting than the Buddha’s are the much smaller statues in the surrounding greenery and they are in massage poses. there’s a small shop selling much needed drinks and ice creams and the usual trinkets. and of course a fortune teller. if you’re lucky you see beautifully dressed local Thai ladies of all ages in their ‘Sunday best’. This temple/school complex is well worth the 200 Bhat entrance fees. They provide skirts and shawls for free for those entering in sleeveless tops and above knee outfits.

    Lofo City is a magnificent and great Buddha in the center of Bangkok, Thailand. A tens of meters long body dug out the golden recumbent Buddha. It is one of the important gods to bless Thailand. You must see it when you go to Bangkok.
