What are the famous temples in Thailand? How to worship Buddha on all sides?

There are many Buddha statues in Thailand. If you travel to Thailand, you can visit the local area. However, it should be noted that temples in different countries may have some different ceremonies. Make sure that the following temples are common in Thailand before you go.

Grand palace

Basic information

Monday to Sunday 08:30 to 15:30.

Admission: 500 baht (including Grand Palace, Jade Buddha Temple and Damiao Mountain). A ticket can visit three places, but if you only visit one place, you can't buy a ticket separately. Jade Buddha Temple/KLOC-closed at 0/8: 00.

Take the BTS light rail (get on at CEN station of Xilong Line, or get on at S 1 station to S6SaphanTaksin station).

Subway fare: 44 baht

Beware of scams: Beware of people who take the initiative to speak Chinese in the Grand Palace. It is mainly aimed at free travellers, because the opening hours of the Grand Palace are limited and sometimes it is closed. If you meet a chat-up person, find various reasons to tell you that you can't go today, and then recommend other scenic spots, he will call a tuk-tuk car to pay you a huge toll, or be taken to a black shop for consumption. Anyone who speaks Chinese and comes up voluntarily is basically a liar. Ignore him and don't believe anything you say.

Suggestion:

Decline politely! If someone says it's closed today, I suggest you go and see for yourself!

People who feed pigeons near the Grand Palace always stuff corn kernels when they see people in China. If you don't pick them up, they will ask you for money. Whether you feed them or not, it costs at least a few hundred baht.

Dress code:

Sleeveless, transparent, suspenders and bare tops are not allowed. Boys' trousers are not allowed to be shorter than their knees, and girls' skirts and trousers are not allowed to be shorter than their knees. The calf position is excellent.

You can't wear tight pants. There is a deposit of 200 baht for renting clothes at the entrance of the Grand Palace, and apron pants are sold outside 100 baht.

Try not to wear a black coat (occasionally on holidays, the staff will not let people wearing black clothes in).

Jade Buddha Temple

According to the Jade Buddha Temple, Thai people dig green jade buddhas here for worship. The Longbi Gallery inside is very interesting. It's basically about the origin of Thai Buddhism, which is quite interesting. There is no food or drink in the Jade Buddha Temple, but there is a free water receiving place. You can buy a bottle of water at the door 10 baht.

Taxi drivers near the Grand Palace may cheat people. In order to make more money, they will recommend you to go somewhere else, because the temples and palaces are closed. Don't be cheated. Be careful when you meet a taxi driver who kindly shows you the way.

When entering the temple, some people can't drink, they have to take off their hats, and some people have to take off their shoes. Cross your legs when sitting at your temples.

The corridor from the Jade Buddha Temple leads directly to the Grand Palace, which is an irreversible corridor. You can't go back to the Jade Buddha Temple when you go to the Grand Palace. This must be noted.

Lying Buddha Temple (Bordet Base)

The reclining Buddha Temple is the oldest temple in Bangkok and the largest temple in Thailand. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the Grand Palace. The reclining Buddha Temple also belongs to a famous punching point in Bangkok. The highlight is the invincible reclining Buddha in the temple.

This is the entrance to a Buddhist temple. It's really too low-key and inconspicuous. After repeated confirmation, I realized that this is the largest Buddhist temple in Thailand. In such a solemn and important temple, there is actually a Thai classical massage school, which recruits domestic and foreign students and trains Thai classical massage techniques. So don't be surprised when you wander in front of the stupa and occasionally a friendly Thai asks if you need a massage.

Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 08:00- 18:30.

Admission: 200 baht per person, with a bottle of mineral water.

Four-faced Buddha

I often hear many of you ask about the four-faced buddhas in Thailand, but I want to tell you that there are many four-faced buddhas in Thailand, so I usually talk about the four-faced buddhas that people often mention. Because it is effective, it has always attracted good believers from all over the world to worship. Whatever you ask for is successful. ) Going to Bangkok, according to some people, not worshiping the Four Faces Buddha is like not coming to Bangkok or even Thailand. The four-faced Buddha is not a scenic spot, so you should sincerely worship it. )

Transportation:

BTSChitLom light rail station, about 10 minutes walk to the west; Or walk from Siam Square 10 minutes.

A place with a light green roof and people

Four-faced Buddha, Brahma, one of the three great Hindu gods, has four faces, four hands and one foot.

Representatives of the Quartet: peace (holding pearls), career (scepter), marriage (shell) and wealth (golden brick). The foot side of the Buddha statue is the front, holding beads.

It is said that the best memorial time is every Thursday night. The later the commemoration, the better the effect. Girls can't worship when they come to menstruation. Try not to wear too many clothes when you worship Buddha.

The first step: buy incense.

Tributes can be bought inside. It is recommended not to buy it outside, it will be very expensive. In addition, try not to bargain in front of the Buddha or buy in it.

3 sticks of incense per side (you don't need to light incense, just plug it in), 1 candle per side, 1 flower string (so1* *12 sticks of incense, 4 candles and 4 flower strings).

Step 2: Worship Buddha.

1. Worship from the front, be sure to worship clockwise, put your hands together and put the incense in your palm. Worship clockwise on all sides, and worship again on the first side.

Four-faced Buddha can't just worship one side. It is said that the four-faced Buddha will be jealous and bring bad luck. Others say that you just need to buy a candle and light it in front of the Buddha you promised before.

The front door is facing the first side, praying for fame, praying for family, praying for wealth and praying for health. Only worship flowers and fruits, not burn paper money! Because the four-faced Buddha likes flowers, it is clear when and how to make a wish.

1. When you worship, put your hands together (don't close your palms, feel them between your hands), put your thumb against your forehead, and say in your heart your name, birthday, where you come from, what your wish is, how long it will take, and how to achieve it after it is realized. Finally, say thank you to the four-faced Buddha and repeat this process on each side.

2. Tell your name, birthday, where you come from, what your wish is, how long it will take to realize your wish, and how to realize it after it is realized. Finally, say thank you to the four-faced Buddha. This process should be repeated on every side so that every Buddha can hear the same words.

3. When making a wish, tell the four-faced Buddha how to make a wish. The rarer the way to make a wish, the easier it is for your wish to come true.

Step 3: Purify holy water.

Finally, go to the water purification place on the left, fill the tin bowl with clean water, clean the water tank, scoop up the water, pat your forehead, face and arms, and pray for the blessing of the Buddha around you!

Hanging Temple in Wulong Area

As for the geographical location of this temple, it originated from a Papugong temple, located in the deep forest of Wulongfu, surrounded by a vast forest. It was built by believers who know the importance of protecting forests and water sources.

Significance of building this temple: The concept of forest and biodiversity protection advocated by the King of Thailand has been implemented and passed on to future generations.
