Pretty temple, free entrance, women have to cover shoulders and knees. When I was there it wasn't too busy, the atmosphere was very pleasant to walk around.
There are three levels with temples and the statue on the top. Beautiful views and quiet atmosphere, unless you're unlucky enough to experience the flood of coaches with tourists...
Outside - nothing spectacular but inside of the temple is really nice. The walls are colorful and Buddha statue is golden. It's totally different from other temples I've seen.
Nice buildings around, close to town. There was a monk stalking us asking for donations every few minutes which kinda destroyed the visit for us.. Very first time such thing happened though.
This one is really reachly decorated, gold everywhere! Place is crowded but worth to see Buddha. Outside, there are many stalls with cheap souvenirs and food.
Wat Phra Kaew is in the area of the Palace, you can visit all at once. Very pretty building and the surrounding gardens make the place chilled and natural.
Ruins of quite huge temple, it's the main one in the complex and is the most crowded. It's famous for Buddha head grown into the tree roots, which everyone heard about. Remarkable!
Inside of this temple there's a huge gilded Buddha statue which is actually one of the largest in the country. Place is crowded, as many other temples of Ayutthaya.
I think it's the most beautiful temple round Chiang Mai. Nicely located in National Park and on the hill. There are many paintings and carvings. If you want to know some details about this place hire a guide who will tell you the story of Buddha and what the paintings represent.
Great views from the top, it's also a very popular place to visit in Ko Samui, tourists arrive in waves. You can encounter monks and be blessed by them. The Buddha statue is massive indeed.
One of the most popular places to visit in Ko Samui. All the tours stop there, there are always many many people. It's quite pretty, of course it's a must see of the island. The statue is interesting. Go early to avoid masses...
The red hall in this temple is outstanding, like nothing I've seen in Ko Samui. Very nice place, there are many possibilities of taking great pictures.
