#triptravelchina #placestovisitbangkok #watphraphiren 📞Hello Hello, I heard and answered. Wat Phraphiren is located in an alley of Worachak Road, near Khlong Thom, a place selling antiques. In front of the alley, there is a sign with the name of the temple, making people curious. The temple is well-known because people often park their cars at this temple. The temple also holds cremation ceremonies at several pavilions every day. Although it looks very new, the ordination hall was probably built during the reign of King Rama IV or V, but the Phra Luang Dam temple is registered as an ancient site. This temple has a father who artists come to perform a teacher worship ceremony. The annual event includes a merit-making ceremony, chanting of Abhidhamma and cremation of monks without relatives from the Sangha Hospital.
