The Thai Dragon Temple that I've been wanting to visit for years, I finally saw it this time ✌️

Ever since I saw this Dragon Temple on Instagram a few years ago, it has been constantly on my mind. I've been to Bangkok several times but always missed it. This time, with the visa-free city walk in Thailand, my wish finally came true! 📍Wat Sam Phran, also known as the Thai Dragon Temple, is located in Sam Phran District, on the western outskirts of Bangkok. Address: 92 Sam Phran, Sam Phran District, Nakhon Pathom. 🚗Transportation: Grab. We took a taxi from Khao San Road and it cost about 500 Thai baht, taking about 40 minutes. 👔Dress code: Try not to dress too revealingly. Shoes need to be removed before entering the temple. 💰Entrance fee: There is no entrance fee, but at the wish-making area, you will be asked to make a donation and write your wish. There are also several other donation points inside, so it's recommended to have some change with you. Apart from the wish-making area and the donation at the top, I didn't donate anywhere else (because I didn't have any change left 😂). 🌟The Dragon Temple is actually a nunnery with pink walls and a dragon winding its way up. It looks very unique and spectacular from afar. You can climb up along the dragon's body (a total of 11 floors) to reach the roof for prayers. Surprisingly, there are also many giant statues guarding the temple. 🌟Tips: 1. Shoes need to be removed before entering. The interior of the dragon's body is quite simple, with bare concrete floors and fans for ventilation on each floor. It's not too stuffy walking up. Once you reach the roof, you can also make a donation to receive gold foil to stick on the Buddha statue. 2. Remember to have some change with you. We didn't have any and ended up donating a lot 😂. 3. There are many giant statues next to the Dragon Temple. You can take photos with them if you like. 4. Apart from the giant architecture, there are also giant lizards. One suddenly appeared behind me when I was taking photos, which scared me a bit. 5. It's quite difficult to get a taxi back. We waited for 30 minutes before we could get one. Remember to allow enough time for your return journey.
