Description: |
|
Despite dominating the western bank of the Chao Phraya River
with its giant temple structure, Wat Kalayanamit is often
overlooked by tourists, city guides, and even locals. The nearby
Wat Arun is much more famous and acts as a magnet, drawing the
crowds away from some of the other nearby Thonburi attractions
and temples. If you want a more tranquil, less touristy
alternative, head to Wat Kalayanamit, a temple particularly
famous for its enormous seated golden Buddha inside the main
building.
Getting to
Wat Kalayanamit in Thonburi is easy: in fact, it even has its
own pier. Take a ferry there from the opposite side at Ratchinee
Pier or hop on one of the many the Chao Phraya express boats
that make their way up and down the river every day (and ask for
‘Wat Kalayanamit’.)
Opening Hours: Daily 06:00-21:00
Location: At Kalayanamit Pier
