Boat Temple

#celebratewithtrip The Wat Yannawa that is also known as “the boat temple” iMost distinctive feature of the large complex is the viharn built in the shape of a Chinese junk vessel, a 19th century sailing ship. The Wat Yannawa is one of the older temples in Bangkok; it was built during the time of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, before the founding of the Rattanakosin Kingdom and the city of Bangkok. The boat temple is located in the Sathorn district of Bangkok on Charoen Krung road. It is found just around the corner (South) from BTS Sky Train station Saphan Taksin. I would recommend a visit to this temple as it have so much history in it

got off the ferry from icon siam to sapan taksin stop and decided to take a stroll along the street and chance upon traditional thai buddhist temples and it was worth a visit. alot of individual owned shops with no frills display but is a charm to visit and to take nice photos. along the street, there are many types of shops and fruits and food for you to try and to experience. did not know that just across from the icon siam that you will chance upon a rare hidden gems and is not explored by tourist and mainly alot of locals going about their daily chores. stop for a cup of tea or a delicious thai coffee and enjoy some local snacks to wrap up a sunny day.#mustvisit

Thailand Travel | Lesser-Known Temples in Bangkok Witness the Glorious History of Chinese Migration to Southeast Asia

Bangkok Dragon Boat Temple Wat Yannawa Phra Aram Luang During the Ming Dynasty of China, there was frequent maritime communication with various countries in Southeast Asia, primarily relying on a type of large sailing ship. The ships were painted red and had dragons leaping on both sides of the bow, commonly known as 'Red Head Ships'. Due to the contributions of the Chinese to the construction of Siam, in the early 19th century, during the reign of King Rama III (1824-1851), an order was given to rebuild a sampan and a stupa, constructing a temple in imitation of the Red Head Ships using steel and concrete. Two stupas were built to represent the masts, and the temple was granted the new name 'Dragon Boat Temple' for the public to admire. In 1987, the temple constructed a Thai-style multipurpose building, three stories high, adorned with five Thai-style roofs, used as a pavilion and hall for preaching, practicing, and meditating, as well as a library. Additionally, the Teochew temple within the grounds was restored, housing Chinese deities. Mae Thorani Temple One hundred meters further, there is another Chinese temple: Mae Thorani Temple, colloquially known as 'Kukai Mae'. The main deity is Mae Thorani, with Guan Yu and the God of Wealth as accompanying deities. Address: 40 Charoen Krung Rd, Yan Nawa, Sathon, Bangkok 10120 Thailand
