“This modern royal temple was established to honor King Rama IX, featuring a striking white ordination hall and the principal Buddha image in the posture of giving blessings.”

Wat Phra Ram 9 Kanchanaphisek is a royal temple established to commemorate the 50th anniversary of King Rama IX’s reign. It serves as a spiritual center for Buddhists in eastern Bangkok and reflects the devotion of the Thai people toward their beloved monarch.

The temple is renowned for its pristine white ordination hall (ubosot), which blends modern architecture with traditional Thai design in a harmonious style. Inside stands the principal Buddha image, "Phra Phuttha Chinnatham Mongkhon", in the posture of bestowing blessings. The grounds also feature a golden stupa and other sacred structures.

During major Buddhist holidays like Visakha Bucha and Makha Bucha, the temple becomes lively with devotees participating in candlelight processions and prayers. Its calm and shaded environment makes it a perfect place for meditation, reflection, and merit-making year-round.

Wat Phra Ram 9 is also favored by photographers, architects, and lovers of contemporary Buddhist art. The simplicity and purity of the design convey a deep sense of peace and spiritual inspiration.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful place to pray, meditate, or appreciate architectural beauty, Wat Phra Ram 9 Kanchanaphisek offers a meaningful cultural experience.
