Must-see in Bangkok and this really is a spectacle. Would recommend going early as it gets hot as the day goes on!

It is a beautiful temple with lots to see and so peaceful, there was no rush to see anything and we went everywhere in the complex, I'd recommend everyone who comes to Bangkok to visit

This temple is nice and awesome. One of the downside is expensive, you are going to pay around 500 baht for an entrance. For me, it is still rewarding. Do get a guide to bring you around and explain the history of this temple!

The best way would be to hire a local cab to get there. Read up before hand about the temple and you won't require a guide. Spend about 2 hrs. here. Entry fee is 100 bhat.
