Rating 6110

Large and beautiful temple complex. I think that this temple complex is ideal for a detailed acquaintance with the religion, traditions, culture and history of the country. There is a stupa with the ashes of Buda, and many temples for various purposes, and the old residence of the royal family, and the royal palace, and several different museums (museum of weapons, the history of the Kingdom, etc. ). It is here that the famous emerald Buda is located (in fact, it is made of jade). In a word, do not go over, look, do not revise. The territory is very large, hiking and sightseeing can take several hours. I have been here twice, so I advise you to: - visit the temple with a tour, where there will be a guide with interesting explanations or buy an audio guide at the entrance if you know English quite well. You can come on your own and hire a guide at the entrance to the temple complex, but it will cost you a pretty penny.
- it is best to visit the temple as part of an excursion, for example, from Pattaya to Bangkok or around Bangkok: quickly, meaningfully and see something else besides the temple. - Bring sunscreen and a hat. - Wear clothes with CLOSED SHOULDERS AND KNEES, otherwise you will NOT be allowed in for sure. You have to buy from a local merchant at exorbitant prices.
