Wat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaran is often referred to by Bangkok locals as 'Wat Ben', but overseas visitors may know it better as the Marble Temple. One of Thailand's most famous temples, Wat Benchamabophit features on the back of Thailand's 5-Baht coin. Wat Benchamabophit might not be as grand as Wat Pho or Wat Phra Kaeo, but it is an attractive cluster of buildings with beautiful design features including stained glass windows. And with Wat Ben attracting fewer tourists than the previously mentioned temples, it's well worth a look if you are in the Dusit area. The most famous spot for photography is the arch door at the other side of the entrance., which provides a great frame for the marble temple in the background. Stain glasses, italian marble, golden statue, and European decorations make all a great setup for nice pictures too. The only way to get there is by taxi or moto taxi, so I suggest you make it a stop on the way to Old Town. It's not far from Phaya Thai or Victory Monument, where you can find many cafes and restaurants, like into the woods, secret wonderland or Ahh kard D.

Wat Saket in Bangkok Old Town is an Ayutthaya-era shrine with a gleaming gold chedi in Bangkok. Also called the Golden Mount, ti occupies an 80-metre-tall man made hill that was built during the reign of King Rama Il. The temple welcomes worshippers year-round, though it's busiest during its annual temple fair in November, during Loy Krathong. The temple grounds have mature trees and typical Buddhist structures such as a main prayer hall, ordination hall and library. Getting to the top requires a climb up some 300 steps that encircle the chedi like a loosely coiled snake. The well-paved path is relatively easy to tackle, especially if you visit early in View from Loha Prasat the day or during mild climate in Bangkok. Wat Saket was the capital's crematorium and the dumping ground for some 60,000 plaque victims in the late-18th century. At the base of the Golden Mount, you'll find an unusual cemetery covered in vines and overgrown trees. It emits a rather spooky out-of-era vibe. Once you arrive at the top of Wat Saket, you'll be surrounded by a wall of bells and panoramas of Bangkok Old Town. Not far from here, you can relax on the rooftop of the Swing bar, for a nice view of the Giant Swing during sunset (Rooftop Chinq Cha Hostel).

Loha Prasat Temple in Bangkok Old Town is just next to the well-known Wat Saket (the Golden Mount), but it's not often talked about. Bangkok has no shortage of majestic temples, all more elegant and impressive than the next, but some really stand out with their unique architectural identity, as does the superb Loha Prasat. Also called the 'Metal Castle, Loha Prasat is located in the grounds of Wat Ratchanaddaram. It was even submitted to UNESCO in 2005 for a World Heritage Site listing, highlighting the historical importance of the temple. Don't miss the large white temples of Wat Ratchanaddaram surrounding Loha Prasat itself, as well as the golden seated Buddha and beautiful murals and door carvings. Go to the top floor for some great views around old Town. Not far is Khao san road, the Bangkok backpacker central, full of cheap bars and restaurants.
