Perhaps the first place that will be on any itinerary is the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew complex. The ‘Temple of the Emerald Buddha’ is the number one tourist attraction in Bangkok, and with good reason – it is absolutely stunning.
Wat Pho
Not too far from the Grand Palace, and usually visited on the same trip, is the impressive Wat Pho. This is the largest ‘wat’ (Buddhist temple) complex in Bangkok and it will take you a fair amount of time to cover the entire grounds and marvel at every ornately decorated spire and each majestic, elegant temple monument. It is most famous for its enormous reclining Buddha.
Wat Arun
Another beautiful temple, Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) is one of Bangkok’s most famous temples. This imposing, eye-catching Chedi complex is one of the tallest in Bangkok and is intricately and ornately decorated. It is also one of the oldest, having been built before the city was properly established as the capital city.
