Wat Phra Chetuphon

One of the oldest and largest temples in Bangkok features the famous Reclining Buddha, which is the largest in Thailand measuring more than 150 feet in length.

Reviewed By LaNyonsaise - West Midlands, United Kingdom

Most of the tour groups are taken directly to the Reclining Buddha and, yes, it is impressive and well worth seeing. However, the temple complex is extensive with lots of stupas, huge statues, little rockeries and tinkling fountains and by exploring more widely you will find shady corners for peace and contemplation. My favourite out of the 3 main places to visit in that part of Bangkok.

2. The Sanctuary Of Truth

Ancient capital of Thailand, an hour and half north of Bangkok,five- six centuries old monuments and temples spread across a three square km Historic City, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site..one would feel he/she boarded a time machine and stepped into a bygone era..it is beautiful, it is aesthetic, it is history and it is a story of sweat and, often, blood !!

Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong)

Reviewed By Wonga2Wonga

Great place to visit, did so twice. Photographer's paradise. Visited late afternoon, yes there were people, it is an active temple - but never crowded. Guess could be so at peak tourist-coaches hours. Sat evening a night market / food stalls were being set up in the grounds just as the sun was setting. Practically all Buddhist temples visited (and those we just drove past) would be worth a visit if they existed in isolation, due to the elaborate sculptural art that they are so rich in, plus they can look a little samey, but "Wat Chalong" stands out, so if you only visit one on Phuket island, make sure this is it.

5. Wat Rong Khun

The White Temple looks amazing the detail on the Temple buildings is incredible and there is a lot of modern themes in the paintings and sculptures in the complex the ablution building is an art piece on its own it’s painted gold as a contrast to the white.The White Temple is definitely one of a kind and if you have the chance to get there you’ll be rewarded with something that you have never seen before

Khao Phra Tamnak (Khao Phra Bat)

Reviewed By kiinok - Samut Prakan, Thailand

Some days this gets swamped with tourists and other days peaceful. It is a nice temple on top of the mountain overlooking Pattaya. I live Khao Phratamnak and have the fortune to listed to the Monks chanting on all the Buddhist holidays. I think there are some good photographic opportunities here. At minimum, a view of the city and surrounding area. Depends on what attracts you are what you like.

Namtok Ton Nga Chang

Reviewed By JDI-SGP - Singapore, Singapore

A trip here is surely a feast for the senses where you will be mesmerized by the alluring waterfalls! Majestic in size, the stones are tall and the water gushes down mercilessly from above. It runs into a stream below where fishes flourish in overwhelming quantity. A picturesque mother nature creation, you'll find yourself busy with photo taking in the most Instagram fitting scenery. There's a 200 baht entrance fee for foreigner and you need a car to get to this park.

Reviewed By seeingtheworldslkc81 - Sydney, Australia

We made the time to stop here and it was great. Easy to get to from Chewang on scooters and simple to park at the top. Stairs are pretty easy to walk up and once at the top the views are amazing. As other have said go easy before the tours or go Late once everyone has finished for the day. Highly recommended.
