Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen: A New Landmark for Check-in in Bangkok

🛶 Take a long-tail boat to see the Great Buddha of Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, and view Bangkok, the 'City of Angels', from a different perspective. The skyscrapers, temples, and water houses on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, along with the locals paddling boats and selling goods on the water, seem to represent the city's most authentic way of life. When the 69-meter-tall Great Buddha of Wat Paknam appears before your eyes, an awe-inspiring atmosphere immediately envelops you. The Buddha statue, as tall as a 20-story building and made of bronze and gold leaf, sits in a lotus position. Its golden body looks extremely solemn and sacred, and it is spectacular from any angle. Behind the Great Buddha is a five-story white pagoda, each level filled with many unique Buddhist artifacts, and many parts are still under renovation today. At the top, there is a green glazed pagoda, crystal clear and full of sacred spirituality. From here, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of Bangkok and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of tranquility and solemnity.
