What to do and see in Kudi Chin, Thailand: The Best Things to do

May 22, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

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

Reviewed By tamjan2021 - Port Elizabeth, South Africa

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!

Baan Kudichin Museum

Reviewed By laura_kss - Kuching, Malaysia

I enjoyed my afternoon spent in this charming little museum housed in a 100-year-old house. The museum was very personal, showcasing not only a section on early Portugese settlers in Bangkok, but the late owners personal belongings, stories and photos. The late owner appeared to be a kindred spirit; he kept everything (ticket stubs, NHS health records, air tickets, old architecture textbooks,) from his time studying in the UK, and I enjoyed poking through all the exhibits. The museum is privately owned and does not charge entrance fees. I highly recommend you have a bite to eat in the little cafe on the ground floor and buy some of their beautiful postcards. Going there is part of the whole adventure. Take BTS to Saphan Thaksin, then express boat line in direction Nonthaburi until station 7 and finally cross the river by ferry. The museum is located in a rabbit warren of narrow paths but there's clear signage. Other attractions in the area are 100-year-old bakeries that serve only one type of Portugese pastry, Santa Cruz church, a mosque and Hokkien Chinese temple, and a couple of Buddhist temples that were not your usual Thai temples. Kudichin is absolutely off the usual tourist path, an oasis of calm.
