A one-day tour of the iconic ancient temple museum Royal Plaza Park on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand, suitable for taking photos📸

#Bangkok Itinerary Bangkok, Thailand is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come to Bangkok for sightseeing and vacation. The Chao Phraya River is the mother river of Bangkok and even the whole of Thailand. There are many attractions gathered along the Chao Phraya River. This time I will introduce a one-day tour of the iconic attractions in the old town of the Chao Phraya River. All the attractions in the itinerary are free to visit and take photos 📸, and no tickets are required. You need to take off your shoes when entering the main building of the temple. Itinerary introduction: First take public transportation or a taxi to Opposite Tha Phra Chan ตรงข้ามท่าพระจันทร์ station. After getting off the bus, we walked to the first attraction: Wat Mahathat วัดมหาธาตุมิฟาชาังสฤษฟิ์รังสฤษฟ. The temple was built in the Ayutthaya era in the early Siamese dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. It is a veritable historical monument temple. It is also the first royal temple in Bangkok. The temple building is tall and majestic, and the exterior decorative structure is full of Siamese cultural and artistic style design. It is exquisite and photogenic. After visiting this attraction, you can come to the museum attraction next to it: King Rama V Memorial Library หอ สมุดปิยมหาราชรฦก. The beautiful architecture combines traditional Thai elements with Gothic influences. The building was built as a royal retreat for Crown Prince Maha Vajirunhis, the eldest son of King Rama V, and was later converted into a library. Today, it serves as a museum showcasing King Rama V's life and royal duties. Entry is free from 9.30am to 4pm Wednesday to Sunday. The air conditioning was adequate and cool. After visiting the museum, we came to the park attraction across the road: Sanam Luang สนามหลวง. The vast area in front of this palace complex is covered partly with artificial turf and partly with natural grass. Used for leisure and entertainment of Bangkok residents and guests and for hosting various grand events. There are many big trees planted beside the big lawn, which is green and beautiful. Very suitable for taking photos and producing films. After visiting the square park, we came to the last attraction: the National Pillar Temple ศาลหลักเมืองกรุงเทพมหานคร. This is one of the most famous ancient temples in Bangkok. This temple was built when Bangkok was founded, and it has hundreds of years of history. It is a veritable historical temple. It is also a third-level royal temple. Prayers at the temple are very effective, and residents from all over Bangkok come here to pray. The temple building is tall and majestic, and the exterior decorative structure is full of Siamese cultural and artistic style design. It is exquisite and photogenic.
