As Thailand is a Buddhist country, there are a great number of wats (temples) in the country, most of which are interesting for foreigners to visit. Listed below are some large and important temples in Bangkok that are recommended to be included in your itinerary.

However, when visiting a temple, please pay heed to the following: Disrespect towards Buddha images, temples or monks is an offence. Shorts or sleeveless shirts are considered improper dress for both men and women. Ladies must not on any account touch a Buddhist monk, give things direct to him or receive things direct from him. And take off your shoes before entering the main temple.
