Wat Ratchabophit

Temples are communal places where lots of things happen. In the tourist top ten temples of Bangkok, it's mostly cameras. As soon as you have to pay an entrance fee, you know that it may be beautiful, but it's no longer a communal place like it should be. In this temple, which is really beautiful in its own right, we saw a group of musicians practising (and letting our children try the instruments) and a table tennis tournament with rocks instead of nets on the tables.Go see some of the top attractions, and then go see a quiet temple like this one. Then decide what you like best.

If you love the temples in Bangkok but not the crowds then seek out Wat Ratchabophit in the heart of the Old Town of Bangkok. Stunningly beautiful. We were there in late afternoon and were the only visitors watching the temple light up in the setting sun. So serene and so lovely. Not as spectacular as Wat Pho or Wat Arun, at Wat Ratchabophit you'll feel like you're in a much loved neighborhood place of worship. A very beautiful and special place.

Находится недалеко от Королевского дворца, но очень тихое и красивое место. Храм великолепен, как снаружи, так и внутри. Так получилось, что мы зашли не с главного входа, а с улицыThanon Fuang Nakhon, и оказались во внутренней части храмового комплекса, потом уже вышли непосредственно к храму. Мы вели себя тихо, и нас не выгнали очень красиво: особенно обратите внимание на перламутровую отделку на стенах.
