Golden Mount

posted by proadman on 28 January 2011 at 10:45

I don't really like skyscrapers but I do like views so this is perfect, this hill used to offer the best views in the city until the monstrosities arrived, and today it's free to go there! Definitely try to go when you go to Bangkok.

where, when, how, web
Look out for the gold spike of Wat Saket and climb as high as you can! It's very centrally located!

Wat Pho

The Temple of the Reclining Buddha was simply gorgeous. The colours were amazing, the details so pretty and then came the huge gold buddha, majestic. There are lots of temples vying for your attention here but this was my pick of the bunch!

where, when, how, web
Phra Borom Maha, really near the Grand Palace

Wat Arun

I was totally blown away by all the architecture in Thailand, so different to that in the UK or even anywhere in Europe, so delicate, intricate and yet striking. I loved this temple the best, the spire is just so intriguing with all its glass and porclain. Try to visit it once in the night time too when it looks beautiful all lit up.

where, when, how, web
On the west side of the river, by the Wat Arun ferry river crossing

Sri Maha Sakthi Mohambigai Amman Temple

Absolutely stunning temple, in the most crazy of locations, right next to a humongous mall! I loved all the flower stalls which gave the air a heady smell, and the huge Bhodi tree with Buddha. The inside is even more amazing if that's possible.

where, when, how, web
Mid-Valley, train station of the same name, you'll probably see the mall first!!

Man Mo Temple

I went here on a conference in Hong Kong as i'd been told it would help with my PhD. Well....I did pray to the God of Literature, and I did pass my PhD so maybe it's directly related! In any case, it's a beautiful place to visit, I love the distinctive yellow but if you're allergic to incense then this is deinitely not for you!!

where, when, how, web
124 Hollywood Road, in the western district, sheung wan metro
