Attraction

A large temple founded in 1610, located in the Thonburi district on an island amid many canals. In 2021 construction was completed on the tallest Buddha statue in Bangkok — 69 meters high. There's also an 80-meter stupa housing a Buddhist museum, and on the top floor an incredible dome with a colorful psychedelic ceiling. The best photo spots for the Big Buddha are not inside the temple but opposite it, for example at the Uruea café — they charge 20 baht for entry, but the ticket can be exchanged for a comparable discount at the café.
