based on 609 reviewsWat Phra That Phraya is an important Buddhist temple in Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand. It was built by King Rama III in 1846 and dedicated to his beloved granddaughter Princess Somana, hence the name "Wat Phra That Phraya". The overall layout of the temple follows the design principles of traditional Thai Buddhist temples, but incorporates more royal elements. The main hall adopts the typical Thai temple style, with gorgeous decorations, elegantly upturned roof lines, and exquisite stained glass and golden mosaics. This unique visual effect makes Wat Phra That Phraya stand out among the many magnificent temples in Bangkok. As an active Buddhist temple, Wat Phra That Phraya still performs important religious functions. There are often monks chanting and practicing in the temple, and sporadic tourists and believers come here to worship Buddha. For tourists, visiting Wat Phra That Phraya can not only appreciate the unique architectural aesthetics, but also gain an in-depth understanding of Thai Buddhist culture and history. Whether it is a religious believer or a history enthusiast, Wat Phra That Phraya is a destination that cannot be missed when exploring Bangkok culture.

Show More ReviewsWat Ratchabatdaram Woravihara (Loha Prasat) is one of the to-go temples in Bangkok. Loha Prasat means "Iron Temple" and there are 37 towers, where all of it are built from iron. It is a very magnificent view of the architecture and is also well maintained. It gives a very relaxed and modern vibes with a good view of the area after climbing 7 floors of the spiral staircase. Inspiring quotes are also printed on the walls as you walked along the temple. Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting Bangkok! There is no admission fee to it. 😉Address: 2 Maha Chai Rd, Wat Bowon Niwet, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand
