I had one of the best experiences in their souvenir shop. All items are affordable and blessed by the monks for good fortune. If you can walk the stairs (many) take the elevator on the left corner.
When you arrive, go straight to the ticket booth, at the right of the Wat.

Temple with the largest massive golden sitting Buddha in the world. Buddha is 5 meters high and his weight is five and a half tons. 40 bahts per person for entry. If you are in Bangkok, don't miss it! It is really beautiful place.

Certainly worth a visit for tourists wanting to experience a thai temple. Beautiful in the way it has been built and crafted. Lovely architecture. It has a golden statue inside too. It was very crowded when we were there though and they did charge to get inside

Nice temple at the very beginning of the Chinatown.
Golden Buddha inside!
Entrance fee is 50 baht.
*On special days, there is no entrance fee. They even set up tables, providing everyone with free food.
**Pictures taken at the Chinese New Years. You won’t find dragons or special decorations on regular days.

Beautiful architecture and design of the temple. Also the statue is said to be made of gold which was only discovered about 60 years or so back and had been covered in stucco or plaster for about 200 years. It was first found lying in the beach is what I was told by the local guide after which it was picked up and placed in a small temple. They discovered that it was good only when they were shifting it for renovations of the same temple.
The local tourist shops have reasonable pricing and have some really beautiful things to pick and choose from and of course the shop keepers are extremely polite, so that's a plus as well.
It's located almost in the busy part of the city. And I recommend this place to see the beauty and the view from the top of the temple.

There is a Yaowarat Chinatown heritage center. It is interesting in here. You can make merit in here.

Beautiful temple where the golden Buddha lies. It says that the statue was the real person inside it, correct me if I'm wrong. The temple is always crowded so we have to be patient for entering it and leave the shoes outside. Visitors who are not come for praying will walk on the path that intended to by the authority so people who are praying are secure. There also big bell outside the temple A place of worth visit and good for photography too.

It is said that Wat Traimit houses the world's largest massive gold seated Buddha measuring nearly five metres in height and weighing five and a half tons. Worth a visit but since it is quite a small place I believe half an hour is enough. This place is near China town and you may have a walk around. There is an exhibition about china town in the second and third floor and if you want to have a look you need buy additional ticket for 100BT. Otherwise the ticket to the top is 40BT. Toilet is free here and also there is lift to the top floor.

Majestic 2nd visit to the Temple of the Golden Buddha. 5.5 tons of solid gold. We hired a guide and he provided the story behind the Temple and the Golden Buddha. I highly recommend a visit during a visit to Bangkok.

We visited Wat Traimit during Chinese New Year in 2016 and 2018. The temple is beautiful during the and wonderful at night. The views at the top are excellent. The Golden Buddha is wonderful. The ceilings are nice.
