Wat Intharawihan Temple
#temples
Very beautiful and scenic temple. Admission is free. Note that there are currently some restorations being done in some areas of the temple so not all spots may be open for visiting. It is recommended that you wear footwear that can be easily removed as usually they do not allow shoes inside the temple and might ask you to remove them and leave your footwear in front of the door. It is recommended that you visit early if you want to take great pictures with no crowd as the place is not as big as other temples and can get crowded very easily.
