Wat Ratchabophit Print E-mail

The temple is located on Fuang Nakhon Road near Wat Pho.  Built by King Rama V in 1869, it was in keeping with tradition that each monarch constructed a temple to mark his reign.  The temple is a mixture of local and western styles, showing an awakening interest in new ideas and a desire to experiment with them.  The exterior of the chapel is in the Thai style, but the interior is decorated in the European style.
