Cruise passengers take in a view of Bangkok from a different perspective
The route took the passengers to some of Bangkok’s top attractions, including the Shangri-La and Millennium Hilton Bangkok hotels, as well as Wat Prayun, Wat Kalayanamitr, and Wat Arun. Other landmarks the route passed by are Phra Sumane Fort, the Grand Palace, Rama VII Bridge, Santa Cruz Church, and ICONSIAM.
This amalgamation of tradition and modernity makes Thailand and it’s the capital city a major tourist destination. This is convenient for backpackers as famous sites are near urban centers and could be easily visited using regular public transport.
Wat Prayun, or Wat Prayurawongsawat Worawihan, is a 19th-century Buddhist temple complex located near the Memorial Bridge in Thonburi. The temple was built during the reign of King Rama III, who was the king of Siam from 1824-i1851.
Meanwhile, Wat Kalayanamitr, also known as Wat Kanlayanamit Woramahawihan, is also found in Thonburi. It was donated by Chaophraya Nikonbodin to Rama III near the start of his reign.
Wat Arun, whose complete name is Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, got its name from the Hindu god Aruna, the charioteer of Surya, the sun god. The temple is in Bangkok Yai district in Thonburi and is considered one of Thailand’s most famous attractions.
Santa Cruz Church is a Catholic church that stands out among Buddhist temples in Thonburi. Built-in the late 1770s, a new structure was constructed at the same site in the early 1900s.
Phra Sumane Fort is one of about a dozen forts that used to defend and guard the city during Rama I’s reign. Built-in the 1780s, it stands as one of the few reminders of Bangkok’s military prowess in that period.
The Grand Palace is where the Thai monarchy currently resides. Rama VII Bridge is a modern roadway that was built in 1990 and connects Bangkok and Nonthaburi.
Finally, ICONSIAM is a commercial complex that opened in 2018. The main building and its annex are considered one of the largest shopping malls on the continent.
