The Ancient Poem by the Chao Phraya River

Upon first seeing the Dragon Boat Temple, I was immediately captivated by its serene presence along the Chao Phraya River. The resplendent main hall glistens under the sunlight, resembling a magnificent dragon boat that carries the memories of time and the power of faith. The temple's eaves curve like a phoenix spreading its wings, and the intricate wood carvings and colorful porcelain tiles reflect the delicate beauty of traditional Thai architecture. As I stepped inside the temple, the air was filled with the subtle fragrance of sandalwood. Devotees sat quietly before the Buddha statue, whispering their prayers, and everything around seemed to be immersed in a peaceful atmosphere. I gently walked into the rear hall and carefully observed the murals on the walls that depict Buddhist stories. The vivid colors and fluid lines narrate ancient legends from a thousand years ago, evoking a sense of reverence. Leaving the temple, the evening Chao Phraya River sparkled, reflecting the Dragon Boat Temple, as if the earth and sky were composing a tranquil poem together. Here, history and nature coexist harmoniously, making it a place where one lingers, with a heart as clear as the serene surroundings.

Wat Yannawa

Wat Yannawa Address - Bangkok Thailand, Charoen Krung Rd Ambiance/Facilities - Buddhist temple Highlights - Unique boat shape temple Most probably the most unique temple structure in Thailand, with a boat shape. Since traffic is always bad in Bangkok, the best way to access the temple is to take a train to Saphan Taksin BTS station followed by a 5 to 8 minutes walk to the temple. Similar to other temples in Thailand, visitor are expected to dress appropriately One of the fun parts of visiting the temple is to feed the fish in the river next to the temple. There are many many big fishes in the river and bread can be purchased within the premise
