Many of the tourists come to Thailand because they want to see temples. And if you are one of those, then do not miss Wat Phra Kaew, since it is one of the most beautiful temples in Thailand. Now I am not going to tell you about the history of Wat Phra Kaew. Because it is really really long and someone else has already written it on Wikipedia. There are many ways to get to Wat Phra Kaew. The fastest and easiest way is to take a taxi XD But if you have a private car, then I think that you are not the first time in Thailand and know how to get there, but if you are the first time here and have a private car, then you should follow the Rajdamnern avenue heading to Sanum Luang. You will see the tempel next to Sanum Luang. You probably don't know what Sanum Luang is, have fun finding it XD Na it’s not that hard to find if you are used to the traffic in Bangkok. The last option is to take the bus. There are so many buses passing the Temple. 1, 3, 9, 15, 25, 30, 32, 33, 39, 43, 44, 47, 53, 64, 80, 82, 91, 201, 203, 501, 503,508, 512 take any of the bus-lines listed here and you will get there, though it may take a little bit long cause of the terrible traffic and the bus stops all the time. You won’t miss the Temple because it is really big and most are getting off here, unless you are sleeping really deep XD If you finally get there, you will see many shops selling souvenir outside the temple along the street. Ah and there are long pants for rent too. You may think, what? Pants for rent ? Yeah, you read it right. Because it is forbidden to wear short skirts or short pants in the temple, that’s why the service. If you are wearing a short skirt and don’t want to change, then you will have to wait outside, the guard is very strict here. And that would be really a waste because you have come this far and have to wait outside. So I suggest wear long pants from home or hotel or wherever you are staying at or just rent the Pant there. Once you pass the door, you will see what makes Wat Phra Kaew so famous and why so many people are going there. It’s so beautiful the architecture the Buddha the whole things XD You should take your time enjoying the charm of this temple. Shoot some photos, recording videos then showing them to your friends or family, who didn’t come along. I’m pretty sure that they will definitely envy you. Most of thai people about 90% or something like this are Buddhist. Wat Phra Kaew is regarded as one of the most sacred temple in Thailand, so many of thai people come here praying for their wish to come true. Maybe you should do that too. There is nothing bad about it. It is not that your belief in what you are believing now will decrease or anything. And if you are lucky, your wish will be granted. Now that you are finished sightseeing the temple, don’t forget to return the pant you rent XD by http://tourist-thailandinfo.blogspot.com/
