You may take tuk tuk or taxi here, is a nice temple to visit, no entrace fees needed. You may spent less than 1 hour here for photo taking and praying
I really like this temple, it was sparsely attended to when I was there, which was nice as it is a real oasis of tranquility and peace.
Take the time to explore the back courtyard of the temple and take it the remarkable architecture, it is truly stunning. Also there are many Buddhas and places for reflection under cover, plus...

The day I visited I vitally had the place to myself. The architecture was truly beautiful, both inside and out. The topiary was also very beautiful and someone obviously spends a out of time doing it. Inside I had time to reflect and the whole time I spent there was a very spiritual experience.
Marble from Italy was used for the first time during making of this temple. The complex itself is huge with lots of Buddha statues in various poses. Most of the Wat or temples in Bangkok are similiar in nature but however they posses some unique features like this marble temple. Also there are almost 8 different types of Pagodas which...

Wat Benchamabophit/The Marble Temple is a must visit for all - especially in the early hours when the monks are offered food, which seems to be a ritual. One could also join the prayers in the morning- doesn't matter where you are from, it is a very spiritual experience to be had in your trip to Bangkok.
The Marble temple is an eye catching temple that is very photogenic. It is best visited prior to noon as it seems to get busy later in the day. Plenty of opportunities for shaded rest although the inside of the Temple does not have anything special to offer. Nice areas in the gardens with carp filled water pools.
A lovely temple purely made out of italian marble. The grounds were looked after very well and the collection of buddha that the king had made was un believable. Fantastic.
A bit of a contrast to the glitz of the ther temples but still well orth a visit for its relative qute, at least when we went when there were very few other visitors.
