[2025 Bangkok Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Suan Phlu (Updated Apr)

Wat Suan Phlu is located at Soi Shangri-La Hotel, Charoen Krung Road, Bang Rak Subdistrict, Bang Rak District, Bangkok. No matter where you look at the temple, it seems that every side is surrounded by tall buildings. But there are many interesting points, especially the cleanliness of every square inch. The chapel of Wat Suan Phlu is not very large. From the outside of the chapel, which is stucco work decorated with glass, to the upper part of the chapel, which is decorated with stucco in the form of angels, it looks beautiful and unusual. Even though it is in the middle of the city, it is peaceful and shady. It is very suitable for making merit. #Don't miss it for those who love merit #Peaceful and cool #Beautiful temple #Bangkok

🙏🏻 Wat Suan Phlu is located in Soi Shangri-La Hotel, Bang Rak District, Bangkok. Currently, there is Phra Ratcha Wachiramoli (Soraj Maha Sorajjo) 🙏🏻 The chapel of Wat Suan Phlu is not very large. From the outside of the chapel, which is stucco work decorated with glass, the upper part of the chapel is decorated with stucco in the form of angels and fairies, which looks beautiful and unusual. Behind the pavilion, there is a Thai-style pavilion in the middle of a pond called "Kuan Yin Bodhisattva Shrine", which is highly respected by the people in this area. People come to pay homage regularly. Because in the past, there were many Chinese people living in this area, so it was built to pay homage to the Chinese. Nearby is the reclining Buddha chapel, which has been renovated inside. There is also an important Buddha image in the Pali Lai posture. Another highlight is the group of monks' quarters, which are outstanding with the fretwork of the gingerbread monks' quarters, which received an award for outstanding conservation of architectural heritage in Thailand.

#Bangkok Attractions 🌟Wow Xuanpu Temple🏯🚆 Today’s journey took me to a temple on Silom Road in Bangkok, Wat Phra That Wat! This city has a rich cultural heritage! I took the BTS to Saphan Taksin station, 🙏 Wat Phra That Wat was built in 1797 and was awarded the Royal Wisongkham Order in 1848. This white temple building sparkles in the sun and is really hard to ignore! The temple is surrounded by a large canal called "Khlong Silom", hence the name Khlong Silom. The canal has now become Silom Road, and the name of Wat Suan Phu comes from the local Chinese who make a living by growing betel nuts. The historical background makes me even more fascinated by this temple! 🌿🙌 I found that there were not many tourists here, which gave me more quiet space to appreciate the beauty and sacredness of the temple. Taking photos and checking in here is also a first-class experience, making every angle a perfect picture! 📸🌺 Every exploration of Bangkok makes me feel different charms. This trip is really wonderful and fulfilling! 🌈🙌 #BangkokFreeTravel #BangkokGoodPlaces #BangkokTravel #WaXuanPhuWat 📍58 Charoen Krung 42/1 Alley, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500 Thailand

The Chao Phraya River is the mother river of Bangkok and even the whole of Thailand. There are many scenic spots, historical sites, business districts and shopping malls along the Chao Phraya River. This time I will introduce a one-day tour of the Chao Phraya Riverside historic sites, temples, mosques, churches and shopping malls near the old city's Chinatown. All attractions are free and no tickets are required. The entire journey: first take public transportation or a taxi to Bangkok General Post Office ไปรษณีย์กลาง station. After getting off the bus, walk forward and enter the first attraction: the royal ancient pier temple on the Chao Phraya River: Wat Muang Khae วัดม่วงแค. The temple was built hundreds of years ago during the Ayutthaya period and is a royal temple. The temple attractions are located along the river, and there is also a cruise ship pier. You can enjoy the spectacular view of the Chao Phraya River and the exquisite buildings on the opposite bank from the temple. The temple is a great place to take photos and films. After visiting the temple, walk forward 300 meters and enter the second attraction: the century-old garden mosque: Masjid Haroon มัสยิดฮารูณ บางรัก. The mosque was built during the reign of Rama III and has a history of a hundred years. The biggest feature of the mosque is the four ancient sarcophagi and a miniature garden.

After visiting the mosque, walk another 500 meters forward and you will reach the famous church building attraction on the Chao Phraya River: The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady (อาสนวิหารอัสสัมชัญ). The church was built by the Portuguese more than a hundred years ago. It is one of the important historical architectural attractions on the Chao Phraya River and a landmark attraction. The church building is tall and majestic, and its exterior decoration structure is in European Gothic art style. It is exquisite and elegant, and it is definitely a great place to take pictures. After visiting the church, walk another 300 meters forward and you will find another ancient royal temple attraction: Wat Song Pu (Song Pu Temple).

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #BangkokTourism Wat Suan Phlu 📞Hello Hello, I heard it and answered. Wat Suan Phlu is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok side, in Soi Charoen Krung 42/1, Bang Rak District. The name Suan Phlu is assumed to come from the area where the temple used to have Chinese people who worked as betel plants for sale. This temple has a chapel decorated with beautiful stucco patterns in the style of craftsmen from Phetchaburi. The principal Buddha image is enshrined on a 5-tiered pavilion, looking beautiful and eye-catching.🌟 The Reclining Buddha Vihara, the Buddha's posture is similar to a real person, which is hard to find. The most outstanding thing is the group of gingerbread monks' quarters, painted in brick red, which have been renovated. It is very worth seeing. This temple is also in the Bang Rak area, which has old restaurants with delicious food and Muslim and Indian food for you to try.

#triptravelchina #placestovisitbangkok #watsuanphlu 📞Hello Hello, I heard it and replied. Wat Suanphlu is located in the Bang Rak Market area, but it is hidden from people's eyes. It is in Soi Charoen Krung 42/1, the same alley as Shangri-La Hotel. It was originally called Wat Khlong Lom because it was surrounded by Khlong Silom, which was filled in to become Silom Road. The reason it was called Wat Suanphlu was because the Chinese people living in this area made a living growing betel leaves🍃for sale. This temple received an award for architectural heritage conservation from the Association of Siamese Architects for its central water library and gingerbread monks' quarters🥇🥇🥇 The ordination hall is decorated with stucco sculptures of angels and fairies in the Phetchaburi style, which is more beautiful and unusual than other temples in Bangkok. The principal Buddha image is enshrined on a five-tiered pavilion, which is very beautiful. This temple seems to have closed the ordination hall, but we can lift the door lock to pay homage🙏 and see its beauty up close.

#Bangkok Attractions The architectural appearance of Songji Temple is extremely eye-catching. The temple adopts the typical Thai Buddhist architectural style, with magnificent decoration as the main tone and inlaid with exquisite sculptures and reliefs. What is particularly eye-catching is that the main hall of the temple and the spire above the roof are inlaid with gold foil, shining brightly under the sunlight, which is a feast for the eyes. At the same time, the environment around the temple is also very distinctive, including the lake, courtyards, etc., creating a beautiful and charming natural landscape. In terms of religious culture, Songji Temple is also very distinctive. This temple is one of the most famous Buddhist holy sites in Thailand, mainly dedicated to Buddha Sakyamuni and numerous Buddhist relics. Various devout prayers and rituals are often held inside the temple, attracting a large number of believers to visit. In the quiet and solemn atmosphere, tourists can also feel the strong Buddhist belief culture.

Wat Suan Phlu is located in the alley of the Shangri-La Hotel. The chapel of Wat Suan Phlu is not very large. The outside of the chapel is decorated with stucco work decorated with glass. The upper part of the chapel has stucco moldings of angels and fairies, which looks beautiful and unusual. Behind the pavilion, there is a Thai-style pavilion in the middle of a pond called "San Phra Bodhisattva Kuan Yin", which is highly respected by people in this area. The word "Suan Phlu" comes from the area around the temple. In the past, the Chinese grew betel as a profession because people in the early Rattanakosin period liked to chew betel to make their teeth strong and beautiful. The highlight from the moment you enter the temple is the group of monks' huts, which are two-story wooden houses decorated with fretwork on the entrance balcony and the roof to protect from the sun between the balcony antennas. It also received an award for good architectural conservation from the Association of Siamese Architects in 2002. #Drive and rest when you're tired #mind_madge #secret location #thailand #visitBangkok #WatSuanPlu #Bangrak
