Bangkok has hundreds of Temples including some of the most famous tourist attractions. They are called "Wats" and several of the most famous of them are "must-see" sights for any visitor to Bangkok. Also, some light reading a little ahead of time will improve the experience. For example, when visiting Wat Pho it is always recommended to stop in at the famous traditional Thai massage school afterwards.

Tourists should always plan, at a minimum, to see Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Arun and Wat Pho. If you don't see these you haven't seen the character and soul of Bangkok. Read more about these unique and fascinating cultural treasures below.
