BangkokIt is a fascinating city with rich cultural heritages and modern atmosphere.
Wat Phra Kaew is one of the most famous Buddhist temples and one of the country's three national treasures.

Every year in the cool, hot and rainy season, the King comes to the temple to help Buddha change cloths.
Wat Pho is the oldest and largest temple in Thailand and the origin of traditional Thai massage. This temple has two highlights. One is the largest reclining Buddha in Bangkok. It is difficult to take a panoramic picture. The other is that people can enjoy the most authentic Thai massage here.
