“A serene and majestic temple in old Bangkok, housing one of the largest bronze Buddha statues in Thailand.”
Wat Suthat Thepwararam Ratchaworamahawihan is a first-class royal temple and a true architectural gem located in the historic heart of Bangkok.
Commissioned by King Rama I and completed during the reign of King Rama III, this temple reflects the artistic and spiritual richness of early Rattanakosin-era Thailand.
At its heart sits Phra Sri Sakayamuni, one of the largest cast bronze Buddha images in Thailand, originally brought from Sukhothai.
The towering image exudes calm and grace, and draws countless worshippers and visitors.
The ordination hall (ubosot) is impressively large and surrounded by 28 massive granite columns, giving the temple an imposing yet elegant aura.
Inside, the mural paintings that line the walls depict scenes from Buddhist cosmology and Jataka tales, representing some of the finest classical Thai artistry.
Apart from its artistic beauty, Wat Suthat also offers a peaceful, spiritual atmosphere amidst the city bustle — making it not just a historical site, but a place for contemplation and reverence.
