#GetDiscountNotDependingOnLuck Wat Suthat Thepwararam [Su-tat-thep-pa-wa-ra-ram], or popularly known as Wat Suthat, is a first-class royal temple of the Ratchaworamahawihan type, which exists in only a few places in Thailand. It is considered the temple of the reign of King Ananda Mahidol, the Eighth King. It is a temple located in the inner city area and has a prominent structure, the Giant Swing, in front of the temple. In the early Rattanakosin period, King Rama I[1] ordered the construction of a temple in the inner city area in 1807. Originally named "Wat Maha Sutthawat", the area was located in Dong Sakae, a low-lying area, so he ordered the land to be filled and a temple built. He also ordered the construction of a viharn (wihan) first to enshrine the Phra Sri Sakyamuni (Phra To), which was invited from the royal viharn of Wat Mahathat, Sukhothai Province. However, before the temple was established as a sangkharam, it was later called Wat Phra To, Wat Phra Yai, or Wat Sao Chingcha. It was not until the reign of King Rama II that the temple was extended and he carved the doors of the viharn himself. However, his reign ended before the temple was completed. The temple was completed in the reign of King Rama III in 1847, and it was named "Wat Suthat Thepwararam." It is recorded in historical records as "Wat Suthat Theptharam." During the reign of King Rama IV, the principal Buddha images in the viharn, the ubosot, and the sermon hall were given the same names: "Phra Sri Sakyamuni," "Phra Phuttha Trilok Chet," and "Phra Phuttha Setthamuni."
