Wat Pak Nam

Bangkok| The Great Buddha at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen is a popular photo spot for visitors. 🚌BTS to: Bang Phai Station (Basically, you can see the Great Buddha from the elevated train) Start from Exit 1 and it's about a ten-minute walk to get there Location of Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen: Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen The photo spot by the river is as follows Google map location: Soi Thoet Thai 26 The surrounding area is mostly residential buildings, it's recommended for women to travel in groups and not to go too late. There are many dogs and cats around, and be aware that there might be snakes, lizards, crocodiles by the riverbank, but don't be scared, they generally won't attack unless provoked! Just avoid them. The dogs are usually very lazy and friendly! The location I've pinpointed can be reached by boat, which are private and smaller, making them better for photography. Taking the official boats can be crowded and not as conducive to getting good photos.

#cherryblossom2024 🌸 🕍 The full name of the Buddha statue is Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, located in the Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen temple. However, since the Buddha statue is 64 meters tall, if you want to have a panoramic view from afar, we recommend these two places: 📷Figures 1 and 3: At Talatphlu amanwa, a small refreshing cafe with some creative coffee and pastries. You can buy a cup of coffee and go up to the rooftop to see the Buddha 📷 Figure 2: A very difficult to find alleyway leading to the riverbank, hidden within a residential area, as shown in the last map "My Location" ‼️ I sat at BTS Talat Phlu station and walked over, but the distance was still quite far. It would take about 20 minutes to walk to Cafe #falltrip #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

#songkran2024 Immerse yourself in the serenity and spirituality of Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. As a seeker of cultural experiences and spiritual enlightenment, I recently had the privilege of visiting this sacred temple and exploring its rich history and tranquil surroundings. From the moment I stepped foot onto the temple grounds, I was struck by the sense of peace and tranquility that enveloped me. The air was filled with the soothing sounds of chanting monks and the fragrance of incense, creating a serene atmosphere that invited introspection and reflection. Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen is renowned for its breathtaking architecture, with intricate carvings, colorful murals, and ornate decorations adorning every corner of the temple complex. I marveled at the beauty of the main hall, with its towering spires and gilded Buddha statues, and wandered through the tranquil gardens, where lush greenery and blooming flowers provided a peaceful retreat from the bustling city outside. But perhaps the most profound experience of all was participating in a meditation session led by the resident monks. Sitting in quiet contemplation amidst the serene surroundings of the temple, I felt a deep sense of connection to the present moment and a renewed clarity of mind. As I left Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, I carried with me a sense of peace and inner harmony that stayed with me long after I had departed. Whether you're seeking spiritual enlightenment, cultural enrichment, or simply a moment of quiet reflection, Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen offers an unforgettable experience that will nourish the soul and leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. #WatPaknamPhasiCharoen #SpiritualJourney #Tranquility #BuddhistTemple #CulturalHeritage #MeditationRetreat #InnerPeace #TravelThailand #ExploreBangkok #SacredSites #Buddhism #PeacefulOasis #SereneSurroundings #TravelInspiration #Wanderlust #BucketListDestination #Mindfulness #SpiritualAwakening #CulturalExploration #TravelExperiences

After opening, I headed straight to Thailand and discovered a new landmark in Bangkok—the Great Buddha of Wat Hua Lamphong, a staggering 66 meters tall pure gold Buddha! 📍Location: Southwest of Bangkok, about 7 kilometers from the city center. 🎫Price: Currently free to visit 🌈Tour Tips: Because the Buddha statue is huge, you can take photos of the Great Buddha from different angles even a kilometer away. Just navigate to 833 Thanon Thoet Thai, Talat Phlu, Thon Buri, Bangkok 1060, to check in and take pictures. This is also where the boat tours are located, just a little further inside. If you can't find it, the locals in the alley will kindly guide you. The boat tour costs 200 Thai Baht per person for half an hour. You can rent a boat with two or three people and try to bargain the price 🤣. Seeing the Great Buddha, you can freely check in around the one-kilometer vicinity of the Buddha. I didn't specifically look for some popular photo spots; I just took pictures wherever I went, and also got to experience the local life. After walking around the perimeter of the Great Buddha, I entered the temple of the Great Buddha. Those with a fear of huge objects should be cautious; the Great Buddha is incredibly large and overwhelming, giving a very strong sense of oppression. Inside, the Relic Stupa is also worth a visit. I recommend going directly to the 5th floor, where you can see the magnificent roof, with many locals praying. Exiting the stupa, you can also see the full view of the back of the Great Buddha. A strong sensory experience!

On this vacation to Bangkok, the main task of citywalk for a few days is to shoot the new landmark Wat Suthat Big Buddha. Here are some classic spots that you can easily shoot with your phone! Picture 1⃣️2⃣️📍Shipyard Cafe The best check-in spot in my mind, close to the Buddha, with a scenic table, can shoot the holiday atmosphere. The only downside is that you have to pay 20 baht for the 🎫 whether you consume or not. Picture 3⃣️📍Soi Phet Kasem 15 It's actually the small road leading to the outside of the Shipyard Cafe, there is a long narrow alley, outside the alley you can shoot the Big Buddha. Picture 4⃣️📍Bangkok Yai District Office Navigate to this location, the overpass next to it is the spot. You can shoot the river, the Big Buddha and the boat, very postcard-like. The downside is that there are wires blocking part of the view (need to be removed in post-production) Also because the guardrail is high, you need to climb the guardrail to shoot! So be careful where you step. A five-fold telephoto lens on your phone can capture the view in the picture. Picture 5⃣️📍At Talat Phlu Another coffee shop, you can shoot the side of the Buddha from the rooftop on the third floor. Picture 6⃣️7⃣️📍Wat Suthat Big Buddha Just navigate to Wat Suthat Big Buddha, the picture on the back was taken on the rooftop of the museum behind the Big Buddha. Picture 8⃣️📍Wat Pradu Chimphli The spot seen on the way from the Big Buddha to Soi Phet Kasem 15 on foot, you can shoot the picture of Guanyin and Buddha in the same frame. 👉🏻TIPS ⭕Asked the staff, the Big Buddha can fly drones. But I checked that flying drones in Bangkok also requires registration, so if you want to take aerial shots, you should be aware of the risks. ⭕Some spots on the internet require a telephoto lens (like that classic spot with the car flow and the Buddha in the sunset, which requires more than 300mm) It's not necessary for non-professionals to go. ⭕The Big Buddha will light up after dark, so going to shoot before dusk is an excellent choice.

🌟 A new landmark has emerged in Bangkok, Thailand—a 66-meter-tall golden Buddha statue that has become the most popular tourist attraction, surpassing the Grand Palace in local tourism popularity and becoming a must-visit landmark in Bangkok. - 🌟 Wat Traimit has been newly renovated, featuring a five-story pagoda and a 66-meter-tall golden Buddha. The pagoda, inspired by the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, stands 80 meters tall with five levels. The underground first to third levels display a vast collection of bronze, gilded, and jade Buddha statues, while the fourth level houses the most precious green jade pagoda. - 🌟 The best viewing spot is located right in this alley, where you can see the golden Buddha's face and take a photo with the Great Buddha. 📍 Location: 215/33 Petchkasem Rd

🛶 Take a long-tail boat to see the Great Buddha of Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, and view Bangkok, the 'City of Angels', from a different perspective. The skyscrapers, temples, and water houses on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, along with the locals paddling boats and selling goods on the water, seem to represent the city's most authentic way of life. When the 69-meter-tall Great Buddha of Wat Paknam appears before your eyes, an awe-inspiring atmosphere immediately envelops you. The Buddha statue, as tall as a 20-story building and made of bronze and gold leaf, sits in a lotus position. Its golden body looks extremely solemn and sacred, and it is spectacular from any angle. Behind the Great Buddha is a five-story white pagoda, each level filled with many unique Buddhist artifacts, and many parts are still under renovation today. At the top, there is a green glazed pagoda, crystal clear and full of sacred spirituality. From here, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of Bangkok and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of tranquility and solemnity.

To talk about the hottest temple in Bangkok right now, it's neither the Grand Palace nor Wat Arun, but this remote and niche Wat Paknam, especially the golden giant Buddha standing in the residential area. The oppressive feeling of the giant object is very shocking as it is presented in the photos. ⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed address: Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, can be found on Google. If Google is not accessible due to domestic roaming, try Grab or Apple Map. However, if you're taking photos, it's not recommended to go directly to the temple. Instead, it's better to take a taxi to near Petchkasem Road or 796 Soi Thoet Thai, which is a small alley. Go to the end of the alley where there's no more road; this is opposite Wat Paknam. There are some small signs along the way, you can follow them to the riverside photo spot. Hidden corners often capture more enchanting scenery. 🕙Opening hours: I went in the afternoon, and you can see it from outside after dark. 💰Admission fee: None 🌟Highlights: 👉The entire big Buddha is squeezed into a residential area, which is very abrupt. This place is not a tourist spot, but a real religious site, so naturally, it's free. But unintentionally, it has become more magnificent than some tourist attractions. Those who are good at finding beauty can walk around the outer circle of streets to find photo spots, such as the LadYa8 overpass, and the aforementioned alleys are classic locations. You can take a small boat on the river to see the Buddha (locals charge for this), with views from both the front and back, costing 200 to 300 Thai Baht per person. By boat, you can also see another temple across the river under the bridge, and you can walk there as well. More people stand on the shore to take photos with the big Buddha statue for free. There are also many small paths next to the alley, where you can stroll around and discover various angles of the big Buddha looking down. Many locals live here; it's a very lifelike place, just don't disturb the residents. 👉There is a beverage shop called AT talat phlu on the nearby main road. Navigate there and go up to the third floor to capture the side view of the big Buddha and the white pagoda. Of course, you need to spend a little. I noticed that most of the people drinking coffee here are Chinese, which is quite strange. 👉Of course, you can walk from here along the main road to Wat Paknam. Along the way, you'll pass a bridge. On the north side of the bridge is the Wat Paknam big Buddha, and on the south side are two other big Buddhas at Wat Bang Pla Noi, including a reclining Buddha. They are all beautifully crafted and worth admiring. Crossing the bridge into Wat Paknam, of course, you'll see the main attraction, the golden Buddha of Shakyamuni. You can only realize how tall it is when you see it up close - 69 meters. The Buddha was completed in 2021, and as soon as it was finished, it immediately became famous worldwide. You can find different angles to view it inside the temple. 📌Little Tips: It's quite a task to find photo spots in the hot weather, and it's best to plan your walking route in advance, or it can be very tiring. But often, it's these informal, community-based attractions that are full of culture and outshine many heavily invested 5A tourist areas that aim to make money and spoil the original scenery.
