Visit the Junk Ship Pagoda at Wat Yannawa.

Wat Yannawa .. is a third-class royal temple of the ordinary type, affiliated with the Mahanikaya sect. .. It is located along the Chao Phraya River, adjacent to Charoen Krung Road, Yannawa Subdistrict, Sathon District, Bangkok. .. This ancient temple dates back to the Ayutthaya period and was originally named "Wat Kok Kwai" (Buffalo Pen Temple). .. During the reign of King Rama III, the temple was restored, and a junk ship pagoda was built instead of the usual stupa pagoda. This was done so that future generations could see the design of the junk ship, which was disappearing from Thailand. The temple's name was then changed from Wat Kok Kwai to "Wat Yannawa." .. It is a must-visit check-in spot for both Thai and foreign tourists when visiting the Bang Rak and Sathon areas of Bangkok.

Wat Yannawa

Wat Yannawa Address - Bangkok Thailand, Charoen Krung Rd Ambiance/Facilities - Buddhist temple Highlights - Unique boat shape temple Most probably the most unique temple structure in Thailand, with a boat shape. Since traffic is always bad in Bangkok, the best way to access the temple is to take a train to Saphan Taksin BTS station followed by a 5 to 8 minutes walk to the temple. Similar to other temples in Thailand, visitor are expected to dress appropriately One of the fun parts of visiting the temple is to feed the fish in the river next to the temple. There are many many big fishes in the river and bread can be purchased within the premise
