Searching Abandoned Temples Bangkok

Hi all, This walk is a bit temple-heavy, as the name suggests, so this may not appeal to everyone. There are over 40000 temples in Thailand, and about 20% of those are no longer in use. What happens to those temples? Why were they abandoned? Can you still visit them and what happens if you do? Can a temple be torn down and why or why not? What do you need if you want to 'reopen' a temple? Can anyone use these unused temples? All these questions and more will be answered during this walk. There are many temples to be found, if you know where to look, but we visit several on the Thonburi side, plus a few other interesting places. This walk is an approximately 5.6km. Our walk will take us around 3 hours and we'll be walking through small sois, with some temples, mosque and local neighborhoods. We're meeting MRT sanamchai take exit 5 to Rajinee pier. Then we will take express boat to tewet pier. We will finish near Pinkloa pier. So you can take the express boat back to sapan taksin. For the late-comers, we usually wait for 5minutes after the starting time, but then we have to leave unfortunately. We'd really enjoy it if as many people as possible can join, coz we've always had a good crowd of group members with interesting and fun stories to share and questions to ask. We expect nothing less from you this time!! :) We will end the walk near Pin kloa pier where you can take the boat back to Sathorn. As usual, kindly prepare 300 THB to join the tour. It pays for your great guide, and it allows us to keep surveying and bring more tours in the future. Enjoy the walk! :)
