When you explore the land of 31,000 temples (Bangkok), make sure you schedule a stop at the Wat Ratchanaddaram, which is home to the famous Loha Prasat, a magnificent metal structure that houses an intricate labyrinth. The city is also home to a stellar array of 5 star hotels in Bangkok that evoke the grandeur of Thailand’s past. Graced by warm Thai hospitality, you will feel utterly pampered at Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa which presents a fine option of a Bangkok resort to host your travels in Thailand. Built in 1846, the Loha Prasat is a stunning example of Buddhist-themed architecture and is only the third of its kind in the world, with matching monuments in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka and India. It boasts multiple tiers that is 36 metres high, and contains 37 elegant spires to symbolise the 37 virtues one must cultivate to secure enlightenment, according to Buddhist lore. The structure employs the elaborate stylings of Burmese style of architecture and visitors will be transported to another realm of experiences as they traverse the maze-like hallways of the building. Atop the roof, one is treated to a stunning view of the entire temple complex, as well as a majestic visual of the Golden Mount located close by.
