Bangkok traveller.

Dear, all travellers.

This is my first time to write blog about travelling by yourself in Thailand. And I hope my informations will helpful for all visitors. Ok let's start with the first trip. Today I will take you to go to " Loha Prasat Metal Castle " or  Wat Ratcha Natdaram Worawihan one of the impressive temple in Bangkok.

If you stay nearby Khao Sarn Rd. It's pretty easy to walk to this place. Keep walking on Ratchadamnoen Klang Rd. and walk pass Democracy monument about 200 metres, you will see the the temple is located on the right hand side.
In front of the metal castle.



The entrance of the castle you will see the statue of King Rama III ,who was founder the temple.

First step to the temple you will feel calm and peaceful, It was my first time at this place so I hurriedly walked straight to closely see the metal castle.

Inside the temple.




The 3rd metal castle of the world.



When I reached the entrance of the castle, I saw a box that you have to put the fee in 20 baht.


Do not forget to take your shoes off before get inside. There is spiral staircase to the top of the castle. I can not wait anymore and imediately walked up to the building, because they close about 5 pm. There are 3 stories to the top with 67 steps of staircase. Finally, I made it. It was so amazing when I walked through the door and felt cool wind in the air with 360 degree view of Bangkok city behind the metal castle roof.

And you also can see The Golden Mountain from this castle. In the middle of the castle there is a Bhudda's relics resided to pay respect.
