Wat Suthat
One of the oldest temples of Bangkok, Wat Suthat greets you with its serene aura. The main highlight is an eight-meter-high bronze statue of Phra Si Sakyamuni, which dates back to the Sukhothai period and is the largest surviving bronze cast of Thailand belonging to the 14th century. In front of Wat Suthat is a striking Giant Swing towering at the height of 21.15 meters, making for a remarkable sight even from a distance.
Contained at the base of the image are the ashes of King Rama VIII. The giant swing, which marks your entry to the temple, is a marvel to behold. Featuring impressive architecture, Wat Suthat is adorned with some fascinating paintings and intricate murals. Wat Suthat also holds the highest royal temple rank, adding to its significance. Temple is also a venue for important ceremonies, such as the Royal Ploughing Ceremony held in May, thus playing a significant role in national religion. Although this place is not quite popular with tourists, one can enjoy an environment of tranquillity and peace. Overflowing with peace and tranquillity, Wat Suthat Thepphawararam is an excellent example of architecture and craftsmanship. Its construction began in 1782, under the reign of King Rama I, and it was completed in the 1820s, under the reign of King Rama III.

Wat Traimit
Wat Traimit, nestled at the end of Chinatown's Yaowarat Road near Hualampong Railway Station, is one of the best royal temples in Bangkok. It is famous for housing a pure gold statue of Lord Buddha, almost 5 meters tall and 5.5 tonnes heavy. Wat Traimit is also known as The Temple of the Golden Buddha.
This 13th-century temple houses the iconic Golden Buddha statue of Wat Traimit crafted in elegant Sukhothai style which was found about 40 years ago by sheer luck or accident. Hidden inside stucco/plaster exterior, the figure was dropped off in disposal. However, the origin of the idol is yet the subject of research assuming it belonged to either the Sukhothai or Ayutthaya period when the Burmese attacked the city.
