 Vimanmek,
The Teak Palace
Vimanmek, a royal residence made entirely
from golden teakwood, was constructed at the
end of the 19th century and is now a sumptuous
museum, open to the public. The palace has
regained its original splendour having been
restored in 1982 under the impetus of Queen
Sirikit.

 Sao
Ching Cha,
the Giant Swing
Sao Ching Cha is the imposing red swing in
front of Wat Suthat, commissioned in 1784
by King Rama I. A symbol of the God Shiva,
the Giant Swing hasn't actually been used
since the beginning of the 20th century -
and for a very good reason!

 Impressive
Wat Phra Kaew
If you spend a few days or if you reside for
some time in Bangkok, the visit you can’t
miss on no account is the one of the historical
grouping Grand Palace-Wat Phra Kaew.
|
 Wat
Suthat,
the largest wihan
Yet another exceptional temple. Wat Suthat
is among the most beautiful temples in the
capital. In addition to the bronze image of
Buddha that dates back to the Sukhothai era
(XIV c.), the temple boasts the largest 'wihan'
in Bangkok.
|
 Wat
Arun,
the Temple of Dawn
This royal Buddhist temple is one of a kind
in Thailand. Wat Arun (or Wat Arunatchawararam)
is a symbolic feature of the Kingdom. The
multicoloured ceramic cladding gives the temple
its very distinctive appearance.
