"Bangkok’s Sacred Treasures: 3-Temple City Tour"
Tour Highlights:
- Wat Traimit (Temple of the Golden Buddha): Start your temple tour at Wat Traimit, home to the world’s largest solid gold Buddha statue. Standing at 3 meters tall and weighing over 5 tons, this gleaming statue has a fascinating history. Originally covered in plaster to hide its true value from invaders, its golden core was discovered by accident in the 1950s. Learn about its history, admire the intricate craftsmanship, and enjoy the serene atmosphere of this revered temple.
- Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha): Next, visit the historic Wat Pho, one of Bangkok’s oldest and largest temples. Famous for its enormous Reclining Buddha, which stretches 46 meters long, this temple is a must-see for visitors. The Buddha, covered in gold leaf, symbolizes the moment of Buddha’s entry into Nirvana. Explore the temple grounds, which are also home to over 1,000 Buddha images and the renowned Thai Traditional Massage School. Wat Pho offers both spiritual and cultural insights, making it an essential stop on your Bangkok temple tour.
- Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn): Conclude your tour with a visit to Wat Arun, one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok, located along the Chao Phraya River. Known for its unique architectural design and its iconic central spire (prang), Wat Arun is especially breathtaking at sunset or in the early morning light. Climb the steep stairs of the central tower for panoramic views of the river and the Bangkok skyline. The temple’s intricate porcelain decorations reflect the light beautifully, earning it the nickname "Temple of Dawn."
