The city of Angels has a fascinating tradition of temples dedicated to Buddha. If you are looking for peace then these are the places to be in. The temple of the reclining Buddha (Wat Pho) is the largest in the whole of Bangkok. It has a huge 46 feet Buddha exquisitely decorated with a gold leaf.

Bangkok reviews in most travel magazines will tell you that Chinatown is a place to watch out for and that it's very crowded and dirty.
