The \u201cWats\u201d or temples are a sacred place in Buddhism and majority of Thais are Buddhist. They usually go to a temple every day and sometimes go to 7 to 9 temples in a day especially on special occasions such as New Year (1st January), Thai New Year (13th April), and their birthdays.

You just need to plan and prepare for a long day of visiting a temple to another. Some people organize a trip by themselves, while some people buy a tour. Most of the trips are to visit 9 temples in the provinces nearby Bangkok.
