Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan

Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan, Bangkok
This temple was built in the late reign of King Nangklao to honor his granddaughter, Princess Sommanas Wattanawadi.
Inside the temple is the Loha Prasat, which is the only Loha Prasat in Thailand and the only one in the world. It is a 7-storey building with 37 spires, representing the 37 factors of enlightenment in Buddhism. The 7th spire houses the Buddha's relics. In the middle of the castle is a hollow space with a 67-step spiral staircase that allows you to walk up to see the view from above.
The ordination hall has a gable, raka leaves, and a pediment covered in gold lacquer and decorated with beautiful glass. Inside is the principal Buddha image named "Phra Setthammuni".

📍 Bowon Niwet Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok
