[2024 Bangkok Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Ratcha Orasaram Ratchaworawihan (Chom Thong) (Updated Sep)

The First Temple of Rattanakosin in the Era of Art and Science Revival

Wat Ratcha Orasaram Ratchaworawihan is located in the Chom Thong district and has distinctive features. 🌟 Built after the country was at peace from war and began to prosper. The Thai king was keen on building temples, and there were many temples to renovate. Using traditional methods would have been too slow, so Chinese techniques were employed, resulting in the architectural style favored by King Rama III. 🌟 The temple was constructed according to Chinese feng shui principles, with the ordination hall facing the water, a large mountain (the Reclining Buddha Hall) at the back, and hills on either side (the Sitting Buddha Hall and the sermon hall). 🌟 It is considered the most beautiful temple in Bangkok by foreigners. 🌟 The principal Buddha image is named Phra Phuttha Anantakun Adulyan Bophit.
