“One of Bangkok’s largest and most revered Phra Maha Chedis with a peaceful environment for practicing Vipassana meditation.”

Wat Dhammamongkol is a well-known Vipassana Buddhist temple located in the Phra Khanong area of Bangkok. It is most famous for its Phra Maha Chedi Sri Maha Bodhi, an imposing pagoda that stands as a symbol of devotion and spiritual energy, attracting visitors and practitioners alike.

The temple was established by the venerable Luang Phor Viriyang Sirintharo, one of Thailand’s most respected meditation masters. Under his guidance, the temple became a center for Vipassana meditation, offering teachings and retreats open to both locals and international visitors.

Surrounded by serene gardens and meditation areas, Wat Dhammamongkol offers a calm refuge from the city’s hustle. During Buddhist holidays such as Vesak and Magha Puja, the temple becomes a hub for ceremonies, chanting, and candlelight processions.

The temple is also a destination for amulet collectors and spiritual pilgrims, with many devotees seeking blessings from sacred relics and images. Its striking architecture and peaceful ambiance make it a favorite among photographers, spiritual seekers, and anyone looking to reconnect with inner peace.

If you're seeking a meaningful cultural experience or a place to begin your meditation journey, Wat Dhammamongkol is a truly inspiring destination in Bangkok.
