Bangkok is a city with a lot of exciting things to do.
But besides a lot of excitement, there are also many spiritual and peaceful places you should not miss during your journey.
In this blog post, we discover five amazing temples in Bangkok where you can soak in the spiritual vibes.
And the best thing is: they are all for free!
1. Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
Right by the river, Wat Arun’s tall spires are hard to miss.
While some parts might ask for a small fee, you can stroll around the main areas for free.
When the sun sets, the temple lights up, making it a must-see.
The most convenient way to go there is by boat, which is also the most memorable way to go around in Bangkok.
2. Wat Saket (Golden Mount)
Craving a bird’s-eye view of Bangkok?
Head to Wat Saket’s Golden Mount, a temple with a golden touch!
Climbing it is often free, and the journey is an adventure in itself.
Wonderful greenery and charming shrines along the way make this experience a great escape from the bustling city.
3. Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha)
Get ready for a jaw-dropping encounter with a gigantic reclining Buddha at Wat Pho.
While there might be a fee for this must-see statue, the rest of the temple is usually open for exploration at no cost.
But I would really recommend visiting this big buddha statue while you are there cause it is absolutely breathtaking!
4. Wat Benchamabophit (Marble Temple
If you’re a fan of elegant marble architecture, Wat Benchamabophit, also known as the Marble Temple, is a gem.
While certain sections may require a ticket, the general temple grounds are free.
The reflection of the buildings in the surrounding pools adds a touch of magic to the experience.
5. Wat Mahathat
In the historical part of Bangkok you can check out Wat Mahathat with its ancient ruins and its Buddha statues.
You can roam around freely through the central areas without an entry fee.
When you are here, it feels like stepping back in time and discovering the roots of this vibrant city.
So this temple is an absolute must!
