Has become a tourist rip off
Mar 2023
While the temple is one of the most important - maybe the important - temples in Bangkok, the monks have discovered tourist rip off. since my last visit 4 years ago, the entrance fee has doubled to 200 THB per persons. For Bangkok temples, this is extra ordinary high. Besides, the souvenir and massage businesses on tourist quality level are striving. A pity.

Golden Buddha tour followed by massage
Mar 2023
Amazing temple with so much to see. You can get a bus here for around 20 bhat, but you need the avoid the rush hour! We took a 48 bus.
Entrance is 200bhat - cash only, there are several entrances and we didn’t see a queue at any of them. Make sure you are dressed appropriately- you need to cover your knees and shoulders so no shorts or vest tops.
We would recommend taking a private temple guide, ours cost 500bhat for 30 mins and was well worth it. Plan to spend at least 2 hours here and then have an hour traditional Thai massage from the massage school in the grounds before you leave.
An excellent day out and we returned to hotel relaxed from our massage..

Temple

A beautiful temple. Even though a lot of tourist came here but it was still solemn. You should wear long paints. One of the most famous temples in Bangkok

It's an extensive complex with amazing architecture and statues
Nov 2022
On a steamy February morning, I wandered the property while friends received a massage at the Traditional Thai Medical School. Don't miss the 150-foot-tall reclining Buddha. It's a huge compound with incredible monuments and architecture.

Affordable and worth it
Feb 2023
It is great to see the reclining Buddha with your own eyes. The compound consist of several other attractions that you can view and it will take some time for you to properly touring all the attractions inside. Please plan ahead. The price is affordable for the number of attractions you can view. There is a souvenir shops inside, toilet, free drinking water station. I would visit again in the future

Amazing and peaceful
Feb 2023
This was my favorite temple in Bangkok. Really neat seeing such a large statue. Thankfully, less crowded and the grounds were well kept. There’s actually a section about Thai massage too.
