Wat pho to wat arun

From Wat Pho we took a boat for Baht to cross the river. I was a little disappointed as it turned out that the temple was under construction and we couldn’t climb the steep steps of the main building. THB to cross the chao praya river and you are to wat arun.


Wat Pho - The Temple Of The Reclining Buddha This stop is Tha Tien Pier (Also numbered as N8). Wat Arun , the Temple of the Dawn. Remember also dressing code for Grand Palace!

The Wat Pho Entrance fee is 1baht. This is perhaps better known as the Temple of the Dawn, and is one of the best known landmarks and one of the most published images of Bangkok. The temple itself does not charge anything extra. But for a Thai massage for one hour, it costs around 4baht. You can get there by river boat, taxi or tuk tuk.


From Saphan Taksin boat pier you can take a riverboat that stops at Pier 8. There is no Sky Train or MRT Subway station in the area. River boat The best way to get there is by river boat. Get off at Tha Tien Pier (N8) and take a cross river boat to the other side.

Known to locals at Wat Chaeng or Temple of Dawn, it is. Its architectural splendor, so different to most other temples in Thailan makes it one of the most stunning attractions in Bangkok, particularly special when viewed at sunset. A visit to the Wat Pho is very easily combined with two other Bangkok highlights. Adjoining the temple is the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha temple, the Wat Phra Kaew.


Take a boat across Chao Pharaya from Grand Palace and Wat Pho. You will have the opportunity to cross the Chao Phraya River by ferry. One of the highlights of the French cuisine at The Deck is the Duck Confit Leg (4THB). It’s good to combine with a visit to Wat Pho as it’s just across the river. The cross-river ferry leaves from Tha Tian Pier opposite Wat Pho and costs baht.


Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha), or Wat Phra Chetuphon, is right behind the Temple of the Emerald Buddha – it’s a must-see for any first-time visitor to Bangkok. As one of the largest temple complexes in the city, it’s famed for its giant reclining Buddha that is meters long, covered in gold leaf. If I remember correctly its Bhat per station.


A massage here costs more than elsewhere in Bangkok but the massage is amazing. The view of the temple from the ferry was almost as enjoyable as visiting the temple itself. Immerse yourself in the cultural and historical heritage of Bangkok by exploring the Grand palace, the Emerald Buddha Temple and the options for Wat Pho , local markets and Wat arun. Enjoy this trip with an experience local tour guide.


If you are coming from the Grand Palace or Wat Pho , simply walk towards the river and hop on the ferries. The boat fare is only Baht per person.

After you alight from the ferry boat, head out of the pier and walk straight for a couple of minutes. In addition to the large collection of relics found at Wat Pho , the temple complex is considered to be the earliest center for public education in Thailand and is known as the birthplace of the traditional Thai massage. It has its own bar and restaurant along with a rooftop restaurant and bar.


Drive you to one of the stunning temples in Bangkok, Wat Pho or Temple of Reclining Buddha. This temple complex houses the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailan including a meters in length and meters in height Reclining Buddha with beautiful mother of pearl inlay.
