    Chanced upon this temple while making making my way to the Three Kings Monument. There was a Friday Flea market on the temple grounds. Stalls sell mostly handicrafts and handmade products at pocket friendly prices. Handmade soaps go for 100 baht for 3 pcs, wooden coffee spoons 4 for 100 baht, beaded bracelet and hair clips at 20 baht  and 10 baht each respectively. There is a stall which sells beautifully crafted indigo linens and cushion covers. Quality and variety of products seem to be better than the famous walking street markets on weekend. Skip the walking street weekend markets and visit this flea market if you prefer a stress free, hassle free shopping experience.

    Nice temple in the middle of Ratchadamoen street. Sunday evening the night market brings a lot of food vendors inside the temple area

    The Temple was constructed in 1501 AD. It's set in a spacious area with tables/seats and a few food/drink stalls, so a good place to take a break. The mainly hall is really lovely with is finely decorated ceiling and pillars. The pillars are unusual design, not round like most temples. Big Gong outside you can hit with mallet provided and make a donation.

    A very nice and ancient little temple. Despite it's very well located at the city center it's not crowded with tourists. Or were we lucky enough to be there virtually alone? :)

    Underrated temple. I am referring to the main temple, gorgeous, carefully and wonderfully decorated from floor to ceiling. With an interesting big Buddha centerpiece that is unlike at other temples

    This temple is covered with gold, which makes it super shine under the sun. I donate to paste some gold sheet to the Buddha.

    It is located near the east gate. The vihara is splendid. Pillars are well decorated. Statues are stunning. The ambience is clean.

    Impressive golden stupa that was built recently following the temple being hit by an earthquake (or flood... can't remember). It was quiet when we visited and worth a quick walk around.

    Beautiful and peaceful temple. Sunday evenings are very crowded due to food stalls inside the temple. Get your future read by a fortune teller

    Nice temple where I did some meditation and listened to chanting around 7:30 pm on a Sunday. The whole temple grounds was converted to a food and trinkets market on Sunday night.

    Beautiful and glory place. Can see the history of Buddha on the wall painting inside the temple.

    Large fully accessible temple with impressive gold - looking exteriors and roof. Some snack, decorations and clothing on the grounds surrounding it. Bargain hard. After seconds, the price of a t-shirt dropped from 280 baht to 200.

    Located in the centre of the city, this is a small beautiful temple with golden Buddha statue and stupa. Few cafes are there operating in the same are. It's a photogenic place. Recommend for a quick visit.

    It is an ancient and amazing temple. Inside there is a golden Buddha and a beautiful golden stupa. Amazing temple. Worth a visit. Takes few min for complete visit. On Saturdays and Sundays, there is a walking street market. Travelers can find delicious food to eat in the temple, which has many local food shop.
