A beautiful marble temple located in the heart of Bangkok! Said to be built even before King Rama V but mainly developed during his reign. The iconic and must-never-miss view is the front temple view, which is also used in 5-baht-coin. There is an area inside the temple that use marble to make floor. So it is beautiful with white and clean feeling. It is easy to get here by bus, taxi or even drive here. There are around 20 parking lots free of charge.

This is an incredibly magnificent and beautiful temple. Definitely a place to go. A Buddhist temple that entered the list of the 10 most beautiful temples in the world. The entrance is very cheap compared to other temples. Only 50 baht. If you go early, there will be fewer people to take pictures and you will not be overwhelmed in the hot weather. You will see green buildings as you move on the opposite side of the small bridge inside. It is an area inhabited by monks. It has a very different atmosphere. you should see.

If you happen to be in Bangkok then visiting this temple is must. It's not about religion but about place to cherish for life. We were there on a sunny day and the view was just mind-blowing. I would definitely recommend it to be part of your city tour. Place has a different charm and you feel calm with the entire surrounding. Enjoy your visit....

This is one of the main attractions of Bangkok. This temple's construction began in 1899 and was designed by the prince of that time. It's made of marble, imported from Italy, hence the nickname the Marble Temple. Nowadays its a major tourist attraction, but surprisingly not a very busy one. For foreigners there is a small entrance fee.

A good place, probably like any other temple in the city. On a weekday, there were almost no people here. The entrance ticket cost 100 baht. On the territory of the temple, you can take a short walk and take a drink of coffee or a fruit smoothie. Most of all, I would like the decoration of the roof of the temple, as well as the hall with Buddha statues in different styles - from different countries and different eras.
