Wat Benchamabophit, also known as The Marble Temple, is one of the most beautiful and well-known temples in Bangkok, Thailand. If you're planning a trip to Bangkok, you should definitely make time to visit this temple. Here's how you can get there:

  • Take the BTS Skytrain to Phaya Thai station and transfer to the Sukhumvit line heading to Bearing. Get off at Asok station and transfer to the MRT subway heading to Hua Lamphong. Get off at Sam Yan station and take exit 1. From there, it's a short walk to the temple.
  • You can also take a taxi or tuk-tuk directly to the temple. Make sure to negotiate the price beforehand.
