Bangkok plays host to numerous attractions including modern shopping destinations and entertainment hubs. However, there is a selection of sacred sites which are visited by locals for prosperity and good luck. The most popular site among these is the Temple of Dawn or Wat Arun. This charming temple was completed back in 1842 and is truly worth a visit. The Thai-Chinese monastery called Wat Kanlayanamit is yet another sacred site in the city whilst Wat Pho, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phrakeo) and the City Pillar Shrine can also be recommended for a visit. Travellers in search of three star hotels in Bangkok will be delighted to find Vic3 Bangkok which is a desirable hotel near Siam Paragon Bangkok.
