A must-see if you like unique architecture. The Loha Prasat here is one of the only metal “castle” temples of its kind, and the rooftop view is fantastic. Not as crowded as the big temples.
This Buddhist temple set in the heart of Bangkok is a thing of beauty. Do not rush your time here, it is a place to stroll, stop, admire and contemplate life. A true work of art and a stunning example of Buddhist and Thai culture that must be visited when in Bangkok.
A breathtaking slice of Bangkok history and architecture. Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan, known as the “Temple of the Royal Niece,” was commissioned by King Rama III in 1846 to honor his granddaughter, Princess Sommanass Waddhanawathy . Its centerpiece is the stunning Loha Prasat (“Metal Castle”), a rare multi-tiered temple adorned with 37 metal spires symbolizing the virtues toward enlightenment . Despite its central Old Town location—at Ratchadamnoen Klang and Maha Chai Road—the temple offers a calm, almost serene atmosphere. The Loha Prasat stands 36 m tall with three tiers (24 spires at the base, 12 in the middle, and a single top spire) and houses a Buddha relic at the summit . The structure’s design is modeled after ancient temples in Shravasti (India) and Anuradhapura (Sri Lanka), both of which no longer exist—making this one of only three such metal-palace structures worldwide . Visiting at sunrise or late afternoon offers the best lighting and atmosphere. The outer garden plaza, opened after the adjacent cinema’s demolition, now showcases a pavilion and statue of King Rama III 📍 Intersection of Ratchadamnoen Klang & Maha Chai Rd, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 🕘 Open daily, 9 AM–5 PM (approx.) 💡 Tip: Best visited in the early morning or just before sunset for gorgeous light and fewer crowds. #thailand #bangkok #thebestintheworld#traval#วัดราชนัดดา
