19 Best Things to Do in Bangkok

"Sitting on the quieter Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River, Wat Prayoon is a crowd-free, surprise-filled temple compound with plenty of moments for peaceful solitude. Visitors can spend an afternoon here exploring the towering white chedi—it's rare to find one in Bangkok you can actually enter—or watching the turtles and monitor lizards in the Khao Mo garden. It's an excellent spot for families with young kids and temple-lovers looking for something besides a giant gold Buddha (although it's got one of those too)." - Diana Hubbell, Katie Lockhart

If you’re looking to explore beyond The Grand Palace and Wat Arun, definitely make a stop here. It’s a beautiful temple with almost no tourists. Entrance is free, and you can visit both the main temple and the white tower, where you can climb up for a lovely view of the city. Near the entrance, there’s a charming garden area where you can even feed the turtles 🙂🐢

I really loved going to this beautiful temple. Words can't define the feeling especially when you go near a turtle pond to feed them. Everything in this temple was so beautiful and calm. I will visit on my next trip too.

A must visit Wat. If you want to explore alone, like quiet, peaceful atmosphere, the weekday is better. A museum at the entrance and can also enter inside of the Suthep (upstairs). Near by the Khao More Wat, feed turtles and fish there ( only 20 Baht for turtles food)

Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan (shortened to Wat Prayun) in Bangkok was completed in 1855 and is unique in Thailand as being the largest Buddhist chedi (also called a stupa or pagoda) with a hollowed and accessible interior, walls covered in tiny pieces of gold leaf, and gold Buddha statues representing every day of the week. An easy 15 minute walk from Sanam Chai MRT and across Memorial Bridge, the temple complex hosts a small museum, large walking garden, and water turtle feeding area.

This temple is not for foreign tourist. Theres not english sign or banner so we get confused and lost. So many local pray as well, so we cant get too loud.

One of the most enchanting and tranquil temples I visited in Bangkok. The stupa, pond, trees, turtles, kind monks and peaceful grounds made this surprise visit on my morning visit to the « place I passed with beautiful trees » even more magical. A true hidden Gem Completed construction in 1855. Its stupa was destroyed by thunderbolt later and eventually got fully repaired. Little museum you walk through to see all the amazing relics they unearthed while fixing the temple is cool.

Fantastic temple with a bonus Chinese rock garden. Undoubtedly one of Bangkok’s under-appreciated gems. The ordination hall is gorgeous, with fascinating murals. Don’t miss Khao Mo, a deceptively peaceful spot for meditating or just feeding its many enormous (and voracious) turtles.

Impressive Chedi, all white, near the Chao Praya River. The Wat nearby is very beautiful too. The structure is simple but the murals behind the statue of Buddha are ancient and very nice. So is the Golden Buddha. Unlike in Wat Po or Wat Phra Kheo, you will no see so many farangs here. Enjoy the peaceful and zen garden. And learn a bit about trees and plants... There are some boards with names during your walk...
