Wat Pak Nam

Bangkok| The Great Buddha at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen is a popular photo spot for visitors. 🚌BTS to: Bang Phai Station (Basically, you can see the Great Buddha from the elevated train) Start from Exit 1 and it's about a ten-minute walk to get there Location of Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen: Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen The photo spot by the river is as follows Google map location: Soi Thoet Thai 26 The surrounding area is mostly residential buildings, it's recommended for women to travel in groups and not to go too late. There are many dogs and cats around, and be aware that there might be snakes, lizards, crocodiles by the riverbank, but don't be scared, they generally won't attack unless provoked! Just avoid them. The dogs are usually very lazy and friendly! The location I've pinpointed can be reached by boat, which are private and smaller, making them better for photography. Taking the official boats can be crowded and not as conducive to getting good photos.

After opening, I headed straight to Thailand and discovered a new landmark in Bangkok—the Great Buddha of Wat Hua Lamphong, a staggering 66 meters tall pure gold Buddha! 📍Location: Southwest of Bangkok, about 7 kilometers from the city center. 🎫Price: Currently free to visit 🌈Tour Tips: Because the Buddha statue is huge, you can take photos of the Great Buddha from different angles even a kilometer away. Just navigate to 833 Thanon Thoet Thai, Talat Phlu, Thon Buri, Bangkok 1060, to check in and take pictures. This is also where the boat tours are located, just a little further inside. If you can't find it, the locals in the alley will kindly guide you. The boat tour costs 200 Thai Baht per person for half an hour. You can rent a boat with two or three people and try to bargain the price 🤣. Seeing the Great Buddha, you can freely check in around the one-kilometer vicinity of the Buddha. I didn't specifically look for some popular photo spots; I just took pictures wherever I went, and also got to experience the local life. After walking around the perimeter of the Great Buddha, I entered the temple of the Great Buddha. Those with a fear of huge objects should be cautious; the Great Buddha is incredibly large and overwhelming, giving a very strong sense of oppression. Inside, the Relic Stupa is also worth a visit. I recommend going directly to the 5th floor, where you can see the magnificent roof, with many locals praying. Exiting the stupa, you can also see the full view of the back of the Great Buddha. A strong sensory experience!

Thailand is now visa-free, so you can just go on a whim✈️ Many people don't know what to do on their first visit to Bangkok?? Here are 9 places worth checking in Save this before you go❗️Itinerary included at the end of the article‼️ 1️⃣ Wat Arun Also known as the 'Temple of Dawn,' one of Bangkok's landmarks, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. If you don't have time to go inside, you can book a scenic restaurant across the river or go to a free platform to watch the sunset, which is absolutely beautiful🌅 (ps. Restaurant view seats need to be booked in advance) 2️⃣ Wat Traimit's Giant Buddha A new landmark in Bangkok, a 6-meter-tall pure copper Buddha that seems to be meditating🧘 The classic photo spot is in the alley and by the water 3️⃣ Bangkok Skywalk (Location: Bangkok Art and Culture Centre) The graffiti skywalk in Bangkok that went viral on the internet is right next to Siam Square, with many shopping malls nearby. After checking in, it's perfect for shopping. The biggest Big C is also nearby, search on the map🔍 'Big C Supercenter Ratchadamri' 4️⃣ Bubble In The Forest A super🔥 cafe in Bangkok that's like a mini Maldives, the environment is really🉑, and the photos turn out amazing📷. Drinks start at over 100🐷, with no minimum charge. If you don't book in advance, you may have to wait, and if you want fewer people in your photos, it's recommended to arrive right when they open in the morning 5️⃣ After The Rain A tropical rainforest cafe, only a 10-minute drive from the mini Maldives. There's a super long coconut palm canal where you can row for free, full of vacation vibes! The prices are very affordable, we had food + drinks, and it was only 150🐷 per person 6️⃣ Chinatown The filming location of 'Detective Chinatown'🎬 One of the busiest commercial areas in downtown Bangkok, with lots of delicious food at friendly prices. At night, the neon signs light up, and it feels great to take long-exposure photos 7️⃣ Sky Bar When in Bangkok, you must visit the Pixel Building for the night view🌃. There are many rooftop bars where you can overlook the whole city, enjoy the evening breeze, and have a cocktail, with a great atmosphere～ It's recommended to arrive before sunset, the twilight is super beautiful🌅 8️⃣ Wat Pho The oldest temple in Bangkok, with the world's largest reclining Buddha. There are fewer people here than at the Grand Palace, and it's easier to take photos. It's recommended to go right when they open 9️⃣ The Grand Palace + Temple of the Emerald Buddha Symbols of the Thai dynasty. A must-visit for first-timers in Bangkok. The main building is not open to the public, guarded by sentries · 🚩Itinerary: 🔸 Day1: Wat Pho → Temple of the Emerald Buddha → The Grand Palace → Sunset at Wat Arun → Chinatown Night Market 🔸 Day2: Wat Traimit's Giant Buddha → Bangkok Art and Culture Centre → Siam Square - Sky Bar Night View 🔸 Day3: Cafe Relaxation: Bubble In The Forest → After The Rain, both are a ten-minute drive apart ㊗️Wishing everyone a happy trip～

✈️Transportation: Hong Kong to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Suvarnabhumi to Hong Kong 🚌From Shenzhen Bay Port, take the B3X bus to Hongqiao Station, then A36 directly to Hong Kong Airport Terminal 🏨Accommodation: Ibis Styles Bangkok Sukhumvit Phra Khanong (Not close to Siam shopping district, but there are several popular stores nearby, with a 711, BTS, and affordable room rates. The cleaning lady is also very diligent, highly recommended!) 🤠Itinerary: Day1 Watergate Temple—Chulalongkorn Night Market Street Day2 Grand Palace-iconsam-Siam Shopping District Day3 Siam Shopping District-Massage-Chulalongkorn Food Street 🚖Getting around Bangkok: We mostly took taxis, then boats or BTS or MRT to various places. The top recommended taxi app is bolt (cheaper), and if you can't get a taxi, consider grab. 🍽️Food: 1️⃣here hai: If you don't want to queue, just order takeaway on grab. Recommended garlic shrimp and crab spring rolls! But the crab fried rice is so-so 2️⃣Mae Varee: Also available for takeaway, the tri-color mango sticky rice is delicious, but it can get a bit cloying if you eat too much 3️⃣Chuan Fu: If you don't want to queue for Michelin mama noodles at Chulalongkorn, you can come here. Just walk a few dozen meters to the right of Milk Boy, it seems that many students come here to eat. The mama noodles and tossed rice are good, and their coconut pudding is super rich and delicious!!! 4️⃣Milk Boy: Only bought the original flavor milk, a bit like Wangzai milk?? 5️⃣iconsam basement water market: Too many choices, buy whatever you want to eat, but the prawns are not fresh, the spotted cake is also average, not recommended. The papaya salad with raw shrimp and the spicy squid salad are very tasty 6️⃣after you: The mango smoothie and toast are okay, but too sweet and cloying after a while, anyway not as good as Miss Xiao Zhuang in Quanzhou (missing it~) 7️⃣Hand-labeled Thai milk tea: Tastes the same as in Shenzhen, but half the price, so drink more~ 8️⃣Rua Thong Noodle: The best are the beef boat noodles, Tom Yum mixed noodles, dumplings, and coconut cake. Don't order the curry noodles at all!!! 9️⃣karun Thai milk tea: Average taste, expensive, too much ice, not recommended. Isn't hand-labeled Thai milk tea fragrant? 🔟aey seafood: Strongly recommend the curry crab and vermicelli pot!!! Amazing from the first bite, also a place where many locals eat. If you don't want to queue at somsom in Chulalongkorn, this place is recommended~ 🙊711 Good Stuff Recommendations: In P16, except for Meiji pure milk, everything else is worth a try. In P17, only the circled items are recommended. Comp tea and sleep candy❌, but clean nose's acne essence and sunscreen are really useful, and the Snake Brand spray and concealer samples are also highly recommended 🙊bigc Shopping Experience: Apart from the dried mangosteen and strawberry-flavored Glico, everything else is OK~

#cherryblossom2024 🌸 🕍 The full name of the Buddha statue is Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, located in the Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen temple. However, since the Buddha statue is 64 meters tall, if you want to have a panoramic view from afar, we recommend these two places: 📷Figures 1 and 3: At Talatphlu amanwa, a small refreshing cafe with some creative coffee and pastries. You can buy a cup of coffee and go up to the rooftop to see the Buddha 📷 Figure 2: A very difficult to find alleyway leading to the riverbank, hidden within a residential area, as shown in the last map "My Location" ‼️ I sat at BTS Talat Phlu station and walked over, but the distance was still quite far. It would take about 20 minutes to walk to Cafe #falltrip #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

🌈 As a rising landmark and hot spot in Bangkok, Wat Traimit is most famous online for its photo spot strategies. The Great Buddha must be quite content watching us hopping around it all day, considering that all the Buddha statues in Thailand have smiling faces. 📍 I didn't make a special effort to look for the spot. Exiting the MRT at 'Tha Phra' station (BL01), I walked into the alley across the street. Turning left at the T-junction next to the temple, I followed the alley straight to the end. In just a few steps, I could see the famous photo spot and the Great Buddha, ready for a photo shoot. Further ahead is a local residence, which has now turned into a simple coffee shop 😂. They just set up a few tables, and if you're thick-skinned enough, you can pass through without buying anything to take photos by the river. Occasionally, boats pass by, which is quite interesting. The drinks are quite basic (seems like they're all priced at 50B), and honestly, there's nothing commendable about the taste. The Thai milk tea tasted cheap and overly sweet, I suspect it's made from a powder mix. I also ordered a lemon ice or something, and it wasn't as good as the slushies from 7-11, but sitting by the river is still very relaxing.

🌟 A new landmark has emerged in Bangkok, Thailand—a 66-meter-tall golden Buddha statue that has become the most popular tourist attraction, surpassing the Grand Palace in local tourism popularity and becoming a must-visit landmark in Bangkok. - 🌟 Wat Traimit has been newly renovated, featuring a five-story pagoda and a 66-meter-tall golden Buddha. The pagoda, inspired by the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, stands 80 meters tall with five levels. The underground first to third levels display a vast collection of bronze, gilded, and jade Buddha statues, while the fourth level houses the most precious green jade pagoda. - 🌟 The best viewing spot is located right in this alley, where you can see the golden Buddha's face and take a photo with the Great Buddha. 📍 Location: 215/33 Petchkasem Rd

The Big Buddha is the tallest statue in Thailand and the second tallest statue in Southeast Asia. Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen is a royal wat located in Phasi Charoen district, Bangkok, at the Chao Phraya River and this statue stands 300 ft high. This place is easily accessible by grab and cost about 600 baht or you can get there by taking the BTS to Saphan Taksin station's exit 1 and walk to Sathorn Pier.

On this vacation to Bangkok, the main task of citywalk for a few days is to shoot the new landmark Wat Suthat Big Buddha. Here are some classic spots that you can easily shoot with your phone! Picture 1⃣️2⃣️📍Shipyard Cafe The best check-in spot in my mind, close to the Buddha, with a scenic table, can shoot the holiday atmosphere. The only downside is that you have to pay 20 baht for the 🎫 whether you consume or not. Picture 3⃣️📍Soi Phet Kasem 15 It's actually the small road leading to the outside of the Shipyard Cafe, there is a long narrow alley, outside the alley you can shoot the Big Buddha. Picture 4⃣️📍Bangkok Yai District Office Navigate to this location, the overpass next to it is the spot. You can shoot the river, the Big Buddha and the boat, very postcard-like. The downside is that there are wires blocking part of the view (need to be removed in post-production) Also because the guardrail is high, you need to climb the guardrail to shoot! So be careful where you step. A five-fold telephoto lens on your phone can capture the view in the picture. Picture 5⃣️📍At Talat Phlu Another coffee shop, you can shoot the side of the Buddha from the rooftop on the third floor. Picture 6⃣️7⃣️📍Wat Suthat Big Buddha Just navigate to Wat Suthat Big Buddha, the picture on the back was taken on the rooftop of the museum behind the Big Buddha. Picture 8⃣️📍Wat Pradu Chimphli The spot seen on the way from the Big Buddha to Soi Phet Kasem 15 on foot, you can shoot the picture of Guanyin and Buddha in the same frame. 👉🏻TIPS ⭕Asked the staff, the Big Buddha can fly drones. But I checked that flying drones in Bangkok also requires registration, so if you want to take aerial shots, you should be aware of the risks. ⭕Some spots on the internet require a telephoto lens (like that classic spot with the car flow and the Buddha in the sunset, which requires more than 300mm) It's not necessary for non-professionals to go. ⭕The Big Buddha will light up after dark, so going to shoot before dusk is an excellent choice.

#thailandtrip The most successful time I followed the trend in Bangkok... The innocence of 0 Iaa Q. 37 ° C cannot walk a little!! You can directly navigate or take a taxi to "796 SoiThoet Thai 26". The next time you take a taxi, you can see it. Follow the signs in the alley until you reach the check-in point where you can see p1. You can also take photos with a chartered boat to feel the local culture on both sides of the river. After multiple attacks, navigate to "WAT PAKNAM BHASICHAROEN BANGKOK" which is inside the Shuimen Temple. You can really experience it and then be truly shocked! It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the first point to Shuimen Temple. Along the road, you will also encounter some other temples and local alleys, which I personally think are quite interesting~

#thailandtrip Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen The Thai capital Bangkok Palam Temple is 69 meters high and 20 floors high, located in the central area of Bangkok City!
