Top Descriptions
| This is large and impressive temple complex bang in the heart of Bangkok. The centrepiece, an enormous reclining Buddha, is truly a spectacle and absolutely worth the entrance fee. – Daniel |

Top Tips
| Expect to be given a free bottle of water with every ticket! This can be collected right next to the temple with the reclining buddha itself. |
| If you are on a budget and can only choose one temple between this and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, then the Temple of the Reclining Buddha is generally calmer and much better value for money. |
| Dress conservatively here. Even three-quarter-length trousers are not really allowed (for women especialy) and you may very well be forced to pay to rent a sarong. |
