The best thing is plenty of table fans in building. After the walk from Kheha station, it was a relief to dry sweat. I like to walk or take public transport like buses, bts totally avoiding bike taxis. though after sunset, the building steps leading to meditation hall are very windy. I also liked the chandeliers in meditation hall, very beautiful indeed.

To think that this wat is located not far from where I live, and had never visited all this time, it was certainly a temple worth the trip! I went into both the stupa (the bell shaped structure) as well as the actual temple across the street, and both were VERY grand and amazing that this wonder exists away from the much more well known temples in Bangkok! I think the most iconic feature in the stupa, is the giant happy Buddha! You can also go up a total of 6 stories all the way to the top and where eventually, the way up becomes a continuous spiral walkway.

We have just returned from a visit to Chulachomklao fort after first reading about it on Richard Barrow's website. Our accommodation is on the Khlong San side of Taksin bridge and we arranged a 'grab hire' where we had the use of car and driver within greater Bangkok for 4 hours at a cost of 1200 Baht. It took 45 mins to get there and 1hr 15 mins to get back so we had two hours at the fort. An hour of this was spent exploring the Mae Khlong ship - access all areas and it was fascinating, then there are the gun placements, Rama V statue, military hardware exhibition and Mangrove walkway compete with monkeys, which we skilfully avoided. On top of all this you can see out to the Gulf of Thailand and watch shipping entering the Chao Phraya river. There was a large seafront restaurant which was reasonably busy considering it was a weekday, we only had time to buy drinks and ice creams though. You may disagree, but this is my idea of a great day trip from Bangkok and the Grab option just gave us peace of mind that our transport was sorted so we didn't have to worry how we were going to get back to the city. Entrance to the fort with all its attractions is free. We took passports with us as entry is through a checkpoint but we were not asked for them, perhaps as we arrived with a Thai national who was driving the car. I did spot one other western visitor who was wearing some kind of pass so perhaps if you arrive by tuk tuk or taxi, you may need to provide ID. Overall, well worth a visit and thanks to Richard Barrow for the recommendation.
