As much as I was a little disappointed by the emerald buddha - I still believe this is a Must Do! I could not believe how small it was based on how much it was discussed. But the history of the Buddha alone between Thailand and Laos makes it something worth seeing as well as how important it is to... More

Beautiful Wat, but very crowded. Fantastic sights, but not typical of a Thai temple, so please do not make this your only visit to a temple. Find an ordinary wat, and feel the Thai experience, but the ornateness of this temple is amazing
