Bangkok / Wat Suthat (Giant Swing)

Giant Swing
















This temple on Bamrung Muang Road took 27 years to build. It is famous for the excellent murals in the Bot, built in the reign of King Rama III (1824-1851). The Vihara should be seen for its collection of gilded Buddha images. The temple complex is open daily 9:00-17:00.

In front of the temple is the famous Giant Swing. Many shops surrounding Wat Suthat sell a complete range of Buddhist ecclesiastic supplies.
