“An elegant royal temple with a mix of Ayutthaya and Rattanakosin architectural styles, reflecting Bangkok’s religious and cultural heritage.”

Wat Ratchaburana Ratchaworawihan is one of Bangkok’s revered royal temples, located on Chak Phet Road in the historic Phra Nakhon district. The temple was originally established during the early Rattanakosin period under the reign of King Rama I. It holds the status of a second-class royal temple and has long played a role in royal and religious ceremonies.

The temple is notable for its stunning ordination hall (ubosot), chedis, and the iconic prang (Khmer-style tower), blending Ayutthaya influences with early Rattanakosin artistry. Its serene atmosphere and classic Thai architecture offer visitors a peaceful retreat and cultural insight into Buddhist practices.

Though not as widely visited as some of Bangkok’s more famous temples, Wat Ratchaburana provides a quieter and more authentic experience for those seeking spiritual and historical richness in the old city area.
