say wat? - run the temples
There are hundreds of temples (or wats) in Bangkok - old ones, new ones, big ones, small ones, and they're not all Buddhist either. This run will take you through the heart of old Bangkok where most of the more well known temples are found. We'll start at Wat Pho, then cross the river to the great Wat Arun, the Temple of the Dawn, just in time to catch it light up at sunrise. Next, we'll run north, then cross back over the river to Wat Maharat, the Temple of the Great Relic. From there, we'll wend our way through Phra Nakhon, via the Democracy Monument, and finish with a climb up the man-made hill of Wat Saket, the Golden Mount.
