8 Things to do in Wat Arun That You Shouldn't Miss

May 22, 2021 Agatha Simes

Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

Wang Derm Palace

Reviewed By 298manits - Bangkok, Thailand

Phra Racha Wang Derm or Thon Buri Palace has always been my destination in the past few years after restoration completion in 2002, however, it's not open regularly, for those who would like to visit has to group and request for a group visit to The Phra Racha Wang Dern restoration foundation. To celebrate the auspicious ceremony of King Rama the 10th accession to the throne, the Royal Thai Navy open Wang Derm Palace for free and no need to make appointment between Dec 14th -28th , 2019. In September 2004, the Phra Racha Wang Derm was awarded the award of merit in the 2004 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award for Culture Heritage Conservation Programme. King Taksin the great founded Thonburi in 1767 after the destruction of Ayuthya, this palace is the only palace built by King Taksin the great in 1768. It was built on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River near the old Wichayen Fort which was later renamed Wichaiprasit Fort. The palace was called Phra Racha Wang Derm (the original palace) after King Rama the first came into power in 1782. Because of its strategic location, the King placed important royal family members in Phra Racha Wang Derm. This practice continued until King Rama V. I drove to the palace on Sunday at 9 o'clock, it was easy for me to get parking space. There have been a number of visitors mostly Thai about 60 persons then, we were welcomed by the Navy brought us to Green house to watch a video in an air conditioned room to understand the perimeter of site. This took about 10 minutes, after that we were free to walk around. I could take some pictures showing the building and surrounding. It was not allowed to take pictures inside the building which had a large display of artifacts during 18th century period. Overall, it's quite refreshing and enjoyment for this visit. Hurry up, you still have time to pay a free of charge visit until Dec 28th, 2019
