The temple is very beautiful with fantastic ornaments, if you climb to the top, you will get a best view of Cao Phraya River. Take a picture around them and you will have memorable time especially during sunset.

From a distance it does not have the bright color like so many other places in Bangkok. But when you get close and look at the detail it is nice. At night it is illuminated and looks spectacular.
