Wat Benchamabophit (Marble Temple)

White marble shines under candlelight at Wat Benchamabophit, and the colonnades frame the walk with symmetry. Arrive before sunset to photograph the gables as the sky turns deep blue, then put the camera away and join the laps around the ubosot. Temple staff often hand out candle sets near the front gate for a small donation. Respect the inner lines for monks and elders, and take the outer lane if you plan to step out for a photo. The temple sits a short ride from Victory Monument or Phaya Thai. A taxi saves time, as buses crawl past the nearby ministries in the evening.
