4. Must-visit photo spots

4. The Big Buddha in the alley: Navigate to 60 Phetkasem 15 Alley, Lane 9, Watthaphra, Bangkokyai, Bangkok 10160. You can take a close-up photo with the Big Buddha here, which is very photogenic. However, the wires may affect the picture a bit.

5. Big Buddha by the water: Navigate to 796 Soi Thoet Thai 26. The view is superb. You can also choose to take a boat ride to take photos with the Big Buddha. The boat ride costs about 200 baht per person. Ask the boatman to take you to the temple for a visit or to the BTS station for the return trip.

6. Coffee shop terrace: At Talat Phlu coffee shop, the second and third floor terraces offer a view of the Big Buddha. The view is absolutely beautiful at sunset. You can order a drink and go up to the third floor to take photos.

7. At the foot of the Giant Buddha in the temple: Walk into the temple, look up at the Giant Buddha, and feel the shock. At the same time, it is very interesting to take close-up photos of people with the Giant Buddha as the background.

8. White Pagoda: The White Pagoda in the temple is also worth a visit. There is a green glazed tower on the top floor, which is very unique for taking photos. Remember to take off your shoes before entering.
5. Tips for taking photos

9. After 3:30 p.m.: The light is better for photographing the Buddha from the front, as it is backlit in the morning.

10. Use the foreground: such as flowers on the roadside, door frames of temples, etc. to increase the sense of depth in photos
