【Golden Buddha Tower Descends into a Residential Area】Wat Lat Phrao, a Hidden Gem Temple in Bangkok, Is Five Times Flashier Than You Imagine

Suddenly appearing in a residential area in northern Bangkok, a huge golden and colorful Buddha tower... that's Wat Lat Phrao! Despite its location with zero touristy feel, its impact surpasses that of typical tourist spots. It's a rare place where you can see the "real scene of faith" blending into the daily lives of Thai people.

Of course, it's free 🆓

👑 Highlights:
Extremely golden! Gold! The temple and Buddha statues are so magnificent that you’ll wonder, "Is this really free!?" It's so shiny and so typically Thai that it’s a constant photo opportunity. It’s quite local, so there are almost no tourists.

🕯️ Recommended stay time:
About 30 to 45 minutes. It’s hot, so early morning or evening is recommended!

🚕 Access:
About 15 minutes by Grab from central Bangkok.

🚻 Toilet info:
Available on site (a bit local-style).

🛍️ Souvenirs:
None. Enjoy it purely as a "temple to see." There are no convenience stores or cafes nearby.
*Strictly speaking, if you go out to the main road, there is a convenience store.
