What To Expect

Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple)

TEMPLE OF MARBLE
Wat Benchamabopit Dusitwanaram (Wat Ben), or Marble Temple, built with Carrara marble, is located near the Government Palace and the equestrian statue of King Rama IV. It is an ancient temple during the Ayutthaya period, originally called Wat Laem or Wat Saithong. During the reign of King Rama IV, the temple was restored by five princes and renamed Wat Bejamabopit (five princes). In 1899, King Rama V had the temple completely rebuilt and gave him the name of Wat Benjamabopit Dusitwanaram, which means the Temple of the Fifth King. He placed Prince Narissaranuwatti, a leader in design and construction.

Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)

The Bangkok flower market (Pak Klong Talad) is the largest wholesale and retail fresh flower market in Bangkok. The market has all sorts of popular flowers and flora related objects, including roses, orchids, lilies and more. Most of them are sold in packs of 50 or 100 flowers each, and the prices are incredibly cheap. Part of the Old City, Bangkok's flower market is located on Chak Phet Road near Saphan Phut or Memorial Bridge. Stores and vendors are housed in two- or three-story shops on either side of the main road. The market is located just south of Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) and has access to a pier on the river, so it represents a great day trip combined with other historical attractions of the Old City.
