Follow a focused walk through Bangkok’s Chao Phraya riverside communities and temples, beginning with Wat Arun and continuing through major places of worship, a palace park, and a canal. Pause at each stop to see how temples and waterways shape the route. The walk ends at Wat Prayurawongsawas, bringing the theme back to a riverside place of worship. It is a rewarding way to connect Bangkok’s religious landmarks with the waterways around them.
