As there are so many temples in Thailand this seemed to me as another temple. Still nice but there are nicer ones around.

As much as I was a little disappointed by the emerald buddha - I still believe this is a Must Do! I could not believe how small it was based on how much it was discussed.

500 Bhat per person entry. Minimum half sleeve shirt, ankle covered bottom and covered shoes. Closes at 3:30pm. Best to do this first then go to wat arun and then wat po
This was amazing. Three Buddhas in a row like green stone .the Buddhas have coats on with the seasons, like summer winter autumn and spring
