Wat Ratchathiwat, an ancient temple

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck Wat Ratcha Thiwat was originally called "Wat Samorai". It is an extremely old temple, but there is no evidence of when it was built. It is assumed that it was built during the Ayutthaya period. During the Rattanakosin period, Wat Ratcha Thiwat was the temple where many royals stayed while they were ordained, such as King Phutthaloetla Naphalai when he was His Royal Highness Prince Isarasunthon, King Mongkut when he was His Royal Highness Prince Mongkut, and Prince Maha Senanurak when he was His Royal Highness Prince Kromkhun Senanurak, and many other royals. When King Mongkut ascended to the throne in Chula Sakarat 1213 (B.E. 2394), he gave Wat Samorai a new name: “Wat Ratcha Thiwat Wihan” has been around until today. Wat Ratcha Thiwat is located on Soi Samsen 9, Dusit District, Bangkok. It has beautiful murals, especially the paintings of Somdej Kru or His Royal Highness Prince Narisara Nuvadtivongse, which are a combination of Western and Buddhist painting. In addition, this temple also has a principal Buddha image that is over 100 years old for visitors to pay homage to. Wat Ratcha Thiwat is open every day from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It is another beautiful temple worth visiting in Bangkok, both to admire the beauty of its architecture and paintings, and to pay homage to the sacred objects in this temple. #bomikotravel #worshipandpray
