Wat Suthat, Bangkok

This is a temple I never intended to visit but I Googled places to visit and Giant Swing caught my interest. When I arrived I saw this huge temple and couldn't resist. Thai lady at the ticket office was lovely and allowed me to practice my Thai with her. She was very accommodating. 100 baht to enter. Map provided. Scorching day, I tried to stick to the shade where possible. I was very impressed by the size of the 2 temples inside. Gardens were kept really well presented with many statues on show.

The South End of this Temple Site is all Monks Accommodation but interesting to walk through. The North End has two beautiful Temple Buildings, both well worth visiting. One is aligned North-South and the other East-West. I was really impressed with the murals which cover every inch of the wall space inside the Temples, real works of art. The grounds are paved with no natural shade or seating areas, some construction work going on there currently but not on the two main buildings.
