Catch Flights to Bangkok, The Land of Devout Temples

Bangkok is the city of sheer intoxicating dynamism. The contrast of this city is startling - soaring skyscrapers dazzle with bright lights and wild nightlife, while every corner is alive with devout temples or Wats. There is no better place than pious Buddhist temples of Bangkok to get a true insight into the culture, tradition and people of Thailand. Every single temple boasts awe-inspiring architectural designs, glittering decorations, radiant pottery, adorned with intricate idols of Lord Buddha gilded in shimmering gold and depicting devout spirituality of the people of the country.

It is not startling to know that cheap airfares on flights to Bangkok are highly popular as millions await their chance to get acquainted with the mesmerizing temples of the region. Visit to this marvellous soil of holiness would not be complete without seeing these five temples at heart of Thailand.

Wat Arun

On the banks of Chao Phraya River, across Wat Pho, is this rocket-shaped temple Wat Arun. Popular as Wat Chaeng amongst locals, travellers revere it as the Temple of Dawn which typifies breathtaking architecture, fine craftsmanship, kaleidoscopic patterns, and multi hued ceramic tiles. 70 meters lofty spire decked out with tiny pieces of coloured glass and intricately placed Chinese porcelain has always attracted travellers who flock this temple in droves. Best time to visit the temple is between October and May when the temple hosts a nightly light and sound show. This is also a good time to grab tickets on cheap flights to Bangkok.

Wat Pho

Wat Pho shines just behind the spectacular Emerald Buddha. This remarkable ancient temple is a part of the itinerary of most tourists taking flights to Bangkok. It is the largest temple in Bangkok and features a 46 metres long impeccable reclining Buddha statue covered in gold leaf. The sprawling stupa-studded ground of reclining Buddha and the massive collection of Buddha images are simply breathtaking. One can wander amid the peaceful rock gardens, serene chapels and magnificent stupas here.

Wat Phra Kaew

Wat Phra Kaew, also known as Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram is the integral Buddhist temple in Thailand. The immaculate Wat Phra Kaew sits on the grounds of Grand Palace and enshrines the highly revered Buddha statue known as Emerald Buddha or Phra Kaew Morakot. The fascinating emerald statue shows Buddha in the meditating position and is meticulously carved from a single jade. The temple is incredibly awe-inspiring and has a great sense of peace in its environs. One of the highly revered temples in Thailand, Wat Phra Kaew is also one of the biggest attention grabbers tempting cultural enthusiasts to hunt for airlines offering cheap flights to Bangkok.

Wat Saket

Wat Saket is the temple of Golden Mount and holds a notable place in Bangkok. The temple houses Buddha relics within its 58-metre-high ‘chedi' surmounted by a golden cupola. Wat Saket is famous for golden mount or Phu Khao Thong, a grubby yellow hill crowned with gleaming gold chedi. A flight of 318 steps with breathtaking panoramic views of Bangkok takes one to the top of golden mount rising from within the compounds of Wat Saket. It hosts the annual temple fair, Loy Kratong festival in the first week of November and those keen on experiencing the extraordinary splendour of the illuminated mount and a massive fun fair must book well in advance to net cheap flights.

Wat Sutat

Wat Sutat is one of the oldest temples in Bangkok renowned for its beautiful roofline, huge golden Buddha, magnificent frescoes and giant swing out front. The temple was the site of original giant swing ceremony of giving thanks for a rich rice harvest. The temple's sprawling hall, the lush gardens, the Buddha images, wall paintings and cloisters, all vie for attention.
