After recharging our energy in the morning, we continued our walk to Wat Ratchabophit Sathitmahasimaram, or Wat Ratchabophit for short. This temple was built during the reign of King Rama V and was the home temple of King Rama V and King Rama VII. When we entered this temple, we felt that it was unlike any other temple in Bangkok. What we particularly liked was the large pagoda that was the main structure, or the Phra Maha Chedi, decorated with Benjarong tiles all over the body, which was very beautiful and grand. 🕒: Every day from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 🚗: You can park your car at the J Park parking lot at the Giant Swing (30 baht per hour). 📍: 2 Fueang Nakhon Rd., Wat Ratchabophit Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok 10200 #Places to visit for spiritual people #Temples #Beautiful temples #Thai temples

Wat Ratchabophit Sathit Maha Simaram .. is a first-class royal temple of the type Ratchaworawihan, which King Chulalongkorn ordered to be built as the temple of his reign in 1869. The foundation stone laying ceremony took place on January 22, 1869. .. 'Ratchabophit' means a temple built by the king. The word 'Bophit' comes from the Pali language 'Pavitha,' which means to build. 'Sathit Maha Simaram' means a temple with a vast boundary, surrounded by a great boundary of the temple.

Stepping into Wat Ratchabophit in Bangkok feels like opening a door to the splendid world of Thai royal art. This temple is renowned for its unique structure and dazzling tile decorations, resembling a brilliant gem embedded in the city's hustle and bustle. The main hall is surrounded by exquisite glazed decorations, with golden spires gleaming in the sunlight, reaching towards the sky. Inside the temple, the layout of the Buddha hall is simple yet solemn, with each Buddha statue vividly lifelike, radiating a gentle aura of compassion. The gilded walls and sparkling chandeliers inside the hall create a mesmerizing scene, making it hard to leave. The cloister of Wat Ratchabophit is even more astonishing, with intricate patterns formed by colorful tiles, resembling a delicate painting. Every step you take, the changing light and shadows add a layer of dynamic beauty. The small garden in the temple courtyard is meticulously maintained, lush and green, creating a unique harmony with the temple's splendor. In this space where tranquility and magnificence intertwine, I felt not only the grandeur of the architecture but also a spiritual cleansing and elevation.

#CafeReview A cafe that I intended to visit because the popular corner with the backdrop is Wat Ratchabophit. The sky was kind, ordering heavy rain to make us sit at a table that is the hardest to book. The view of the temple behind may not be clear from the heavy rain, but it gives a mood to sit at a cafe with a different feel of Phra Nakhon than before. It has a sense of magic, vintage, and classic in a perfect way. IM En Ville, a cafe in the old city area that revived An old printing house into a very hip cafe. There are both upper and lower floors for sitting and eating food and drinking. It is suitable for sitting and chilling while absorbing the atmosphere of the inner city. Cafe lovers must come here. It is very beautiful. Highlight Red sofa table, a million-dollar view that everyone must get a picture from this angle. I recommend coming in the morning when the shop just opens. I guarantee that you will get a great, great, and magnificent picture for sure.

Today, I planned to explore the inner Phra Nakhon district. One of the must-visit places, despite the heavy rain, is Wat Ratchabophit Sathit Maha Simaram Ratcha Wora Viharn, commonly known as Wat Ratchabophit. Located in Phra Nakhon, Bangkok, this temple is renowned for its unique blend of Thai and Western architectural styles. Key architectural highlights: Main Chapel and Viharn: Adorned with colorful mosaic tiles imported from abroad and intricately carved gold patterns. Great Chedi: A bell-shaped chedi in the Sri Lankan style, situated in the center of the temple, serving as a prominent and beautiful symbol. Surrounding Pavilions: The pavilions encircling the main chapel are decorated with exquisite and intricate Thai art patterns. After witnessing the beauty of Wat Ratchabophit, as a Thai, I feel deeply moved and proud of this national heritage and religious site.

It appears to be a royal temple established by King Rama V in 1869. The pagoda is characterized by its decoration with five-colored mosaic porcelain. While the main hall is built in Thai architectural style, upon entering, one can also notice Gothic-style decorations, giving it a somewhat European feel.

Wat Ratchabophit, near the grand palace, worth a visit, its unusual shape and decorations are really beautiful, and it’s only a short walk from the palace. Not a touristy place, I was the only one there. It’s a royal wat, and there are some royal funeral monuments outside as well.

The Royal temple located on Ausaang road near royal palace. Somdej prasangkaraj be at this temple. Here you can see the beautiful architecture. Clean and beautiful temple which I recommend the tourist to visit.
