This is just your average Thai temple with a lot of Chinese statues in it. There is also a giant red swing at the front that used to be used for religious ceremonies. You can see the actual swing inside the temple compound if you look for it. The roads around this temple are some of the oldest and narrowest... More

This lovely temple gives a more realistic insight into the actual pravctise of buddhists because its primary use is still worship. It is realtively quiet. The wall paintings are very impressive as are the buddhas More

This temple is away from the touristy area of Bangkok, which means it is pleasant and quiet, and still, it is stunning. There is an area with grass so you can relax in the shade (although there can be some homeless people having a nap a times). More

Interesting and picturesque temple with not too many visitors. Small entrance fee (40 baht) but worth it. Can be combined with visits to other nearby temples such as Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Wat Saket (Golden Mount), Wat Ratchannadaram, Grand Palace etc. Situated within walking distance of the Khao San Road area.

The giant swing ( just outside) has no swing, its just a... More

The first thing that you will notice as you are approaching Wat Suthat, is the red Giant Swing just in front of the temple. Wat Suthat is nearby Grand Palace / Wat Pho, just a short cab drive away, about THB60. There is no entrance fee. Not touristy, quiet with some local Thais offering prayers here. The Buddha statue at... More

People around who try to help are guides, who try to say that it's closed for prayers etc now, go after 3-4 hours, meanwhile take tuk tuk for city ride since it's on special rate today Only. We almost got into it but then remembered people's... More
