Carrying a camera to visit Phu Khao Thong

#SingleTravelPlaces On this trip, we brought a Fujifilm camera with us. We went to “Wat Saket Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan” or as most people call it “Wat Phu Khao Thong” It is an ancient temple of Bangkok. It is located in the heart of the city, Pom Prap Sattru Phai District. It has beautiful architecture and is a sacred place. People like to worship, especially for stability in life. We started at Wat Phu Khao Thong. Check the dress code before going up. The way up is about 344 steps. You will be out of breath and need to rest periodically. I do not recommend it for those with weak legs and shins. Once you are strong enough to walk up to the top, you can see a full view of Bangkok. It is worth the climb. Then we went to pay homage to - The Buddha’s relics - The navel pin of the city - The four guardian deities of the four directions Then we went up to the top of the prang. We walked around the prang 3 times. It is believed to enhance stability in life. *Recommended that if you climb to the top of the prang When the sun is very hot, be careful of swollen feet. Because we have to take off our shoes To be safe, wear socks. How to get there: You can take a bus, MRT, get off at Sam Yot Station Exit 1 and walk for another 10 minutes, or if you come by car There is a parking lot. Opening-Closing time: Every day from 7.00-19.00 hrs.
