Wat Pathumwanaram

Those who have strolled around Siam Paragon or CentralWorld may not realize that there's a tranquil temple hidden among the high-rise buildings and luxury malls. Wat Pathum Wanaram Ratchaworawihan is one of Bangkok's "oasis of peace," perfect for a respite from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

The moment you step inside, the atmosphere immediately changes. From the noisy streets of traffic and people, you'll find a tranquil atmosphere surrounded by tall trees and a cool breeze. Inside, the temple boasts a white pagoda, a simple yet elegant chapel, and a principal Buddha image, creating a sense of calm.

What I particularly love is the natural setting here. Despite being in the middle of the city, you can still see the pond, lotus trees, and birds flying around. The temple grounds are well-organized, not too large to be tiring to walk around, but large enough to allow for a moment of meditation or worship.

Another impressive aspect is the people who come here, who dress respectfully and respectfully, creating a more peaceful and inviting atmosphere than I expected. Even with the occasional visit from foreign tourists, the tranquility doesn't detract from the atmosphere.
