Neighbourhood: Silom
Despite the lack of any major tourist attractions, this lively neighborhood is a favorite of many. Whether it's the (somewhat naughty) nightlife of Soi Patpong, the various handicraft night markets or the plethora of dining options that tickle your fancy, a night out in Silom is a must on every itinerary. It's worth a stop during daytime, too: join office workers on a quest to tasty street food during lunch and shop at Silom Complex for a great mix of Thai and international stores. After a day of strolling around the congested sidewalks, a visit to Silom's Lumphini Park, Bangkok's answer to NYC's Central Park, is a welcome change of scenery.

    Beautiful architecture
    During my vacation in Bangkok, I was staying in Silom area and I had visited this beautiful temple complex dedicated to Lord Buddha. At the entrance there are vendors selling flowers and incense sticks. One has to climb up marble steps to reach the main temple which has a beautiful golden color Buddha in sitting posture with beautiful decor using chandeliers and the colorful paintings on the walls depicting stories from the life of Lord Buddha are absolutely mesmerizing. Also liked the beautiful architecture of the temple showcasing intricate art work in golden color. Entrance ticket of 40 baht is there for foreign national.

    Came to pay homage to Wat Hua Lamphong for the first time.
    I have come to visit and pay homage to Buddha images in Hua Lamphong and make merit for the coffin for the first time. Anyone who comes to Bangkok and wants to pay homage to Buddha images, I recommend Hua Lamphong Temple. It has everything.

    Blessing to the needy.
    Didnt really visit Wat Hua Lumphong, but the small temple beside it. Went there for coffin donation. Each share is 500baht. The uncle in the temple is very friendly to guide us the whole procedures of prayers.

Glorious special experience
Mar 2023 • Couples
Beautiful and humbling. A real treat to find such an active local temple, with no other western tourists visible. The coffin donations were very busy (we visited on a Sunday) but the other offerings more simple to understand. Food to bless to donate, robes to donate for monks, candles, etc. Really special.

NB it is opposite a shopping complex which is poorly signed but a treat to escape the heat for a drink/food, especially Japanese food. You can enter via the subway through the train station.

Wat Hua Lumphong/coffin temple
Feb 2023
A true Thai temple took friends to visit the Emerald Buddha temple of dawn, and Grand Palace then brought them to Wat Hua Lumphong. A must-see and experience and donation to coffin for the poor.

Visit Thai temple
Feb 2020 • Family
It’s quite comfortable and easy to visit with family and it is beautiful place that you can visit for free. There are many
things you can do for doing merit with children’s and older people.

Go to this temple to make a donation on coffin. It is also a blessing to give than receive. :) Easy access just make a turn from BTS exit and you can see the temple easily.

Busy temple but still peaceful
Dec 2019 • Couples
Nice temple that is still using incense ! It also has the Chinese Temple attached next door for the coffin donation which is so lovely.
This temple is the one where the pink cows used to be- they were here when we last visited last year but this year they have been moved to the countryside - there are posters showing hem arriving with the monks blessing them.
One side of the temple is used for funerals and there can be some beautiful flower arrangements.

Coffin Donation
Nov 2019
Visited this temple to do coffin donation for the orphans. The process of donating is written clearly for foreigners. The people are friendly enough to guide you if you seem lost.

Please remember to wear clothes that cover at least below your knee.

Thank you.
