Golden Buddha at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, Bangkok: A Towering Symbol of Thai Faith

#thailandtrip 📍 Location: Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, 300 Ratchada Phisek Rd., Phasi Charoen District, Bangkok, Thailand (Located in the Thonburi area on the western side of the Chao Phraya River) The Golden Buddha at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen is one of the tallest Buddha statues in Thailand, standing at an impressive 69 meters. Completed in recent years, the brilliant golden figure shines above the Bangkok skyline, symbolizing peace and enlightenment. The temple complex also houses a modern stupa with a glass meditation hall, beautiful murals, and a calm, spiritual atmosphere away from the city’s tourist crowds. ✨ Tips: • Visit in the early morning for softer light and peaceful surroundings. • Entry is free, but donations are welcome. • Dress respectfully—shoulders and knees covered. • Climb up to the glass stupa for stunning views and colorful interior artwork resembling a cosmic mandala. • Accessible via Bang Phai BTS Station, followed by a short walk or tuk-tuk ride. • Great for a more local temple experience compared to central Bangkok landmarks. Best time to visit: November to February for dry, cooler weather. #watpaknam #goldenbuddhabangkok #hiddenbangkok #thaispirituality #buddhisttemples #phasicharoen #bangkokculture #peacefulthailand #offthebeatenpathbangkok #templewithaview#trip #historicallandmarks #familytrip #历史古迹
