Top Monuments in Thailand

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! The path up to the Big Buddha can be a bit of a trek, and you'll want to enjoy the views without sore feet.

I suggest going early, like around 8 AM, to beat the crowds and the heat. It was so much more peaceful then!

I recommend taking the public bus if you're on a budget. It takes a bit longer than a taxi, but it's way cheaper and gives you a chance to see more of the area.

When you get to the top, take your time to sit and soak in the views. I rushed it and missed some great photo ops!

My advice is to combine your trip to the monument with nearby attractions like the Big Buddha... It saves time and you can make the most of your day without backtracking

I suggest visiting the Golden Dragon Monument in the early morning around 8 AM. It gets really crowded later, and you'll get better photos without the huge groups in the background
