The 5 Best Sights & Landmarks in Wat Kanlaya, Thailand

December 20, 2021 Marlin Saiz

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.

Wat Kalayanamit Varamahavihara

Bangkok was also a feast for the eyes. Did you know it has over 9 million inhabitants? An extremely religious city, we travelled around visiting ancient temples and palaces, and made sure we went to Wat Kalayanamit (Thailand’s largest indoor sitting Buddha at 15 metres/49 feet high). I really enjoyed learning about their culture. Buddhism is the main religion in Thailand and you’ll see plenty of colourful, ornately-designed temples. Even if you aren’t Buddhist, you’re free to enter and receive blessings from the monks. Definitely a must!

Wat Prayurawongsawat Worawihan

Reviewed By Oldguy8

Yes, the temple itself is quite nice. And yes, the little museum you walk through to see all the amazing relics they unearthed while fixing the temple is very cool. And yes, the architecture of this place is pretty impressive. However, the real reason you HAVE to go here is to go to the little pond next door and feed the turtles. Honestly, that was SO much fun! I'm sure the little pond area has another name (or is part of some other temple), but it's right next door and so worth the $1 to get some cut up fruit to feed the turtles. Don't miss this!
