It is a beautiful Buddhist Temple on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in front of the Grand Palace. It has a central tower and 4 small towers. The temple has enough national value that you will find its picture on Thai currency. From the top of the central tower, you can admire the impressive panoramic view of the city so you can make stunning photographs with your camera during the dawn and dusk. The stairs of the temple are sheer, so be cautious. It opens daily for tourists and locals, and costs only 50-Thai baht.
Visiting the flower market of Bangkok will be an awesome experience for you. The tourists visiting the Bangkok for the first time must visit this flower market which is full of colors and natural fragrances.
