The more historically and culturally significant buildings and temples of Bangkok, are in the area down near the old part of town, and the river, not far from the Khaosan Road area. That is one part of the city that is actually quite nice. For many on the tourist track the highlight of the area is the Grand Palace, the most culturally important of all of Thailand's 40,000 plus Buddhist temples. The Grand Palace would have to be the most visited attraction in the country. The dress code for entry is strictly enforced. You shouldn't wear anything to skimpy! Shoulders and arms must be covered , but don’t despair if you fall short on the dress code, you can buy a sarong or pants at the many shops opposite the main entrance also a parasol for the heat may be a good idea. Over behind the Grand Palace is Wat Po, It doesn't nearly attract the same number of visitors as the Grand Palace, and there is the huge reclining Buddha to see, the largest reclining Buddha in the world. The other major temple in this area is Wat Arun, most probably the most photographed temple, in all of Bangkok. Wat Arun is a fascinating temple just over the chao phraya river from the Grand Palace and Wat Po. You can take a cross river ferry to reach it. The three most popular temples for visitors to visit are the Grand Palace Wat Pra Kaew, Wat Po and Wat Arun. There is something very enchanting about Wat Arun, you are mesmerized and attracted to it. It’s a fascinating temple complex to wander around and explore.
