#timetotravel Stepping through its ancient gates, I found myself transported to a realm of tranquility and spiritual bliss. This magnificent temple, known for its iconic Buddha head entwined in the roots of a Bodhi tree, offers an experience that is both spiritually enriching and visually mesmerizing. I recommend arriving early in the morning, just as the sun's gentle rays illuminate the temple grounds, casting a magical glow upon the intricately designed structures. This allows for a more intimate experience, away from the bustling crowds that tend to gather as the day progresses. The temple opens its doors to visitors from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily. Entrance Fee: 50 Thai Bhat Nearest Subway Station: Sanam Chai MRT Station #mytripvlog #tripblazers #thailand

[Wat Mahathat] Naresuan Rd, The awasukri ⏱ 08:00 - 18:00 💸 Entrance fee 50 thb Tuk-tuk temple tour -🚖💨! The place I went to was "Wat Mahathat" 🙏🏼 - All the Buddha statues here are headless. It is said that when the Burmese army invaded the Ayutthaya Dynasty in the past, they cut off all the Buddha statues' heads to humiliate them... It was so amazing to see the Bodhi tree growing around the severed Buddha statues' heads and the tourists having to lie down or kneel down because they had to have a lower mind and posture than the Buddha statues (!) #Da Nang #Wat Mahathat #Hot Place

Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan 🙏 It is considered another important temple in the capital city of Bangkok.

[Access] About 15 minutes by taxi from BTS Saphan Taksin Station. Search for "Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit" on Google Maps, and when you see the red-walled Thaworawatthu Building, you have arrived. Visiting is from 8:30 to 16:00, and admission is free. [Temple Area] After passing through the gate, you will see the white-walled main hall and a 15-meter-tall white pagoda. The pagoda base has a layered design of laterite wrapped in plaster, and the Buddha statue standing on the south side has a compassionate expression. It is in the center of the temple grounds, so you should first get a full view here. Inside the main hall is a small golden pagoda with a seven-story structure, and the canopy is made of mirror mosaic. Photography is allowed inside the hall, but flash photography is prohibited. Shoes and hats must be removed before entering the hall. [Golden Seated Buddha in the Corridor] More than 100 seated Buddhas are lined up at equal intervals in the corridor surrounding the main hall. The tile floor is an early 20th century import with a beautiful geometric pattern, so it looks even better when you take a low-angle shot of both the floor and the statue. [Thaworawatthu Building] The crimson museum building located on the north side of the temple is a restored repository from the Rama V period. The contrast between the Gothic-style iron-lattice windows and the red plaster is striking, and the colors look best around 9am. Inside the building, panels showing the restoration process of the Buddha statue and old coins are on display, and the air-conditioned room is perfect for a short break. [Tips and etiquette for photography] 📍The white pagoda is backlit around noon, so it is recommended to take photos in the morning with the sun behind you. 📍Tripods and selfie sticks are prohibited inside the main hall. Do not touch the walls or Buddha statues. 📍Knee-length shorts and sleeveless tops are not allowed. Free pareos are available to borrow at the entrance. [Summary] This temple + museum, where you can enjoy the three-color combo of gold, chalk, and crimson all at once, is a calm photo spot that is a little different from the glamorous area around the Grand Palace. It takes about 60 minutes to go around the exhibition hall and the grounds, so be sure to stop by during your free time while walking around the old town. -- #WatMahatha #ThaworawatthuBuilding #BangkokHiddenGem #FreePhotoSpot #ThaiTempleTour #BangkokTrip #BangkokConquest

#Travel to save the world The atmosphere of walking around Tha Phra Chan in the morning and stopping by to sip coffee at "Chang Khua" is just right. This shop is a specialty coffee shop that is very serious about coffee beans. This time, I tried the Honduras beans that the staff recommended. I must say that I was not disappointed. The taste is a little floral, very easy to drink, not too sour, and naturally sweet. It is suitable for those who want to sip good coffee that is not too strong. The shop may not be big, but it pays attention to details in both brewing and selecting beans. If you are a serious coffee lover, don't miss it. If anyone comes to this area, don't forget to stop by to get some quality caffeine and then continue walking in a chill manner, enjoying the breeze by the river! 📍Address: Chang Khua The shop is located opposite the Thammasat University Bookstore, next to Wat Mahathat. #BangkokCafe #NiceCoffeeShop #MustVisitCafe

#tripfreeaccommodation #bangkoktourism #watmahathatyuwaratrangsarit 📞Hello Hello, I heard and answered. Visiting a large temple with many important places may require advice on visiting. Wat Mahathatyuwaratrangsarit is the same. This temple was originally called Wat Salak and has been around since the Ayutthaya period. In 2326, Somdet Phra Borommaratchachonnakorn ordered its restoration and gave the name Wat Niphanaram. In 2331, King Rama I used it as a place to recite the Tripitaka and changed the name to Wat Phra Si Sanphet. When the relics of the Lord Buddha were received, the new name was given to Wat Mahathat. ✨️The largest ordination hall in Thailand ✨️The gallery surrounding the ordination hall, the chapel and the pavilion, enshrines a total of 108 Buddha images. ✨️The Bodhi tree of Sri Lanka is the first Bodhi tree of the Rattanakosin era. ✨️The temple enshrines the original principal Buddha image of Wat Salak ✨️The pavilion enshrines the golden pagoda of Wat Salak, the origin of Wat Mahathat ✨️The royal monument of Somdej Phra Bowonratchachao Maha Sura Singhanat ✨️Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University, a university for monks 🎈https://maps.app.goo.gl/TGTZwTMzmoftHNQk6

#tripfreeaccommodation #Bangkoktourism WatMahathatYuwaratrangsarit 📞Hello Hello, I heard and answered. WatMahathatYuwaratrangsarit is a special first-class royal temple, of which there are only 6. This temple was built by Somdej Phra Bowonratchao Maha Sura Singhanat, built together with the Vihara and the Mondop. This Ubosot has the largest usable area in Rattanakosin, 49.50 meters long, 24 meters wide, and can accommodate up to 1,000 monks. It was used as a meeting place for monks to perform the Kiti Sangayana, which was the final step of the Tripitaka Sangayana in 2331. Later in 2344, there was a fire, so he ordered the Ubosot to be rebuilt, extending the wall to the original sema line, and making the sema line attached to the wall as it is today, which is an important characteristic of the Front Palace craftsmen. The temple is near Sanam Luang, so it is full of important places. 🎈https://maps.app.goo.gl/TGTZwTMzmoftHNQk6

#tripfreeaccommodation #Bangkoktourism #WatMahathatYuwaratrangsarit 📞Hello Hello, I heard and answered. For those interested in the architecture of the Wang Na school, Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit has 3 buildings to see: the Ubosot, the Vihara, and the Phra Mondop. The Phra Vihara Luang enshrines 5 Buddha images. It was built at the same time as the Ubosot and the Phra Mondop when Somdet Phra Bowonratchao Maha Sura Singhanat built it in 1783. The pediment is made of a Naga Lamyong, extending straight from the gable to the tail of the swan. There is no curved part called Naga Sadung. Originally, the Ubosot would be the same length as the Vihara, but when the Ubosot was expanded, the sizes were different. King Rama I ordered the front and back porches to be the same length as the Ubosot, which is 12 rooms. Inside the Vihara, there are also candle-shaped royal swords. It is the royal sword that His Royal Highness Prince Maha Sura Singhanath used throughout his life and offered as a tribute to the Buddha. 🎈https://maps.app.goo.gl/TGTZwTMzmoftHNQk6

#tripfreeaccommodation #bangkoktourism WatMahathatYuwaratrangsarit 📞Hello Hello, I heard and answered. In addition to making merit and admiring the beauty of the architecture, going to the temple also helps you learn about history. Wat MahathatYuwaratrangsarit is a temple built by Somdej Phra Bowonratchao Maha Sura Singhana. He built a pavilion as the main building of the temple in 1783 to enshrine the Buddha's relics, which is the origin of the temple's name. This pavilion originally had a castle-like roof, but a fire broke out in 1801, so it was rebuilt in the current Roman style and a pavilion was built to enshrine a golden pagoda instead. The temple is near the Grand Palace and many other tourist attractions. 🎈https://maps.app.goo.gl/TGTZwTMzmoftHNQk6

#tripfreeaccommodation #bangkoktourism #watmahathatyuwaratrangsarit 📞Hello Hello, I heard it and answered. Many people may not know about Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit because the temple is surrounded by walls. In front is a permanent building, a long dark red building, and there are many parked cars. Therefore, you cannot see the temple's chapel. This temple is also the largest educational institution for monks and novices in Thailand. The temple organizes a worship of 5 sacred objects at the Bodhi Lanka area: Phra Sri Maha Bodhi, Luang Pho Nak, Somdet Charawanrat (Heng Khemchari), Luang Pho Pleum Uttara, and Krom Phra Ratchawang Bowon Sathan Mongkol. This temple is located near Tha Phra Chan, the largest amulet rental center in Thailand, and Thammasat University. 🎈https://maps.app.goo.gl/TGTZwTMzmoftHNQk6

#Bangkok Itinerary Day 1: Ancient temples and the whisper of time Early in the morning, we drove to Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya. The ruins of this temple witnessed the prosperity and rise and fall of the Siamese Kingdom. When you step into the temple, you will see ruins everywhere. The pagodas and temples built of red bricks tell hundreds of years of history. The most shocking thing is the head of the Buddha statue wrapped in tree roots, standing there quietly, as if traveling through time and space, gazing at every visitor. We returned to Bangkok in the afternoon and visited the Grand Palace. Every detail of the magnificent building exudes royal majesty and cultural depth, which is dazzling. Day 2: The Interweaving of Buddhism and Life The second day's itinerary was mainly leisurely. We went to the Reclining Buddha Temple, which is famous for its 46-meter-long golden reclining Buddha. Walking in the quiet temple courtyard, you can see believers worshipping Buddha devoutly, and the gentle sound of bells ringing in your ears makes you feel peaceful. Then we came to the Chao Phraya River, took a long-tail boat, shuttled between the canals, and experienced the simple life of the people living on the water. As night falls, the lights on the riverside add a layer of romance to Bangkok's history and modernity.
