- Spot Introduction -
Pink Ganesha "Wat Saman Rattanaram"
The giant pink Ganesha enshrined in a temple in Chachoengsao province next to
Bangkok is imposing and makes a big impact!
Not only are there fewer crowds in the morning, it's also the perfect time to
easily take photos of the photogenic power spots with your smartphone.
It is said that your wishes will come true quickly, and it is very popular
among tourists and locals alike. In Thai Buddhist culture, the day of your
birth is important, so be sure to check your own day of the week in advance.Impressive ceiling painting at Wat Paknam
This sacred, historic royal temple was built during the Ayutthaya Dynasty
(Muromachi period in Japan) and is full of attractions that offer a glimpse
into Thai Buddhist culture.
Recently, it has been featured on social media and in guidebooks, and is
extremely popular as one of the temples that must be visited when in Bangkok.
The highlight is the emerald glass pagoda, with its mysterious and beautiful
ceiling painting that draws you in. There is a meditation space in the temple,
where many people come to practice.
Recharge your energy and revitalize your mind and body with meditation beneath
the fantastical ceiling painting.
In addition to the stupa, the main hall with its solemn atmosphere and the
recently completed gigantic golden Buddha statue are also spectacular and not
to be missed.
