Wat Rakhang Khositaram, originally called Wat Bang Wa Yai, is an ancient temple during the Ayutthaya period. Along with Wat Bang Wa Noi, Wat Amarin Tharam is one of the important temples of Bangkokians and Thonburiians. It is a very famous temple that everyone knows. It is also the temple where Phra Somdej Phutthachan To created the famous Somdej amulets that have been famous since the past until today. This makes Wat Rakhang highly revered by Thais throughout the Kingdom of Thailand. In 2312, when King Taksin the Great ascended to the throne, he was interested in Buddhism. He granted royal patronage to Wat Bang Wa Yai, which was originally a temple of the people, to be a royal temple. It was the residence of the Supreme Patriarch during the Rattanakosin period and was also the meeting place for the Tripitaka recitation, which was brought from Nakhon Si Thammarat. Interesting things in the temple include the Red Palace, a teak house with slate walls. It is believed that it was once a meditation palace for King Taksin the Great. Inside the palace, there are references such as the partition walls of the original palace, paintings of various kinds of bad things, Tripitaka Hall, which is a twin building of three buildings, built from wood that was dismantled from the original palace and hall of King Rama I when he was still a civil servant in Thonburi. The eaves are lined with the shape of angels praying at intervals. The outer walls are painted in red clay. Inside, there are large Tripitaka cabinets painted in gold leaf patterns, enshrined in the northern and southern halls. Inside, there are paintings by Ajarn Nak that tell the story of the way of life of the people during the Thonburi period.

Wat Rakhang Khositaram Worawihan is located in Siriraj Subdistrict, Bang Khun Non District, Bangkok. It is a second-class royal temple of the Worawihan type, located in the administrative area of ​​the Mahanikaya sect, Region 1. This temple is an old temple built in the Ayutthaya period. It was originally named Wat Bang Wa Yai (or Bang Wa Yai). During the Thonburi period, King Taksin the Great built a palace near Wat Bang Wa Yai and granted permission to make it a royal temple and the residence of the Supreme Patriarch. During the Rattanakosin period, during the reign of King Rama I, Wat Bang Wa Yai was under the patronage of a royal lady of the Wang Lang Palace, namely Her Royal Highness Princess Thepsudawadi (Sa), the elder sister of King Rama I and the mother of Prince Krom Phra Ratchawang Bowon Sathan Phimuk. She had a palace next to the temple and restored the temple together with King Rama I. A bell was excavated, which was granted permission to be placed at Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram. By making 5 bells to compensate for Wat Bang Wa Yai, he then gave the temple a new name, “Wat Rakhang Khositaram”, in addition to the discovery of bells at this temple and to restore the model of the Ayutthaya period, which also had a temple named Wat Rakhang. In the reign of King Rama IV, he graciously ordered the name of “Wat Rakhang Khositaram” to be changed to “Wat Ratchakanthiyaram” (Khandi means bell), but no one liked to call it by this name, and it was still called Wat Rakhang. #BeautifulTemplesAcrossThailand

Start the first day of 2566 at Wat Rakhang Khositaram Worawihan. The temple is located on the bank of the Chao Phraya River in Siriraj Subdistrict, Bang Khun Non District. The ancient temple was built since the Ayutthaya period. It is a second-class royal temple of the Worawihan type. During the reign of King Rama I, he restored the temple and dug up a bell, which he ordered to be placed at Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram. He made 5 bells to compensate for Wat Bang Wa Yai. After that, he gave the temple a new name, "Wat Rakhang Khositaram". Inside the beautiful ordination hall, there is the enshrined Luang Pho Yim Rap Fa, the principal Buddha image. There is a white prang and in the area along the river, there is a large image of Somdej Phutthachan To. In the temple, there are offerings in sets of 100, 200 and 300 baht, as well as flowers, garlands, incense and candles for people to make merit. Travel 🚤 Take a ferry at Tha Chang, which is near Wat Phra Kaew. To cross the Chao Phraya River, get off at Wat Rakhang Pier. 🚗 There is a private parking lot. There are many places to choose from (we parked at Soi Arun Amarin 20, 30 baht for the first hour, 20 baht for the next hour) called A20Park. If anyone comes to walk around Wang Lang, you can stop by to make merit, worship Buddha, walk through each other not too far. As for us, we stopped by Wang Lang Market by walking from Wang Lang Pier south until we reached the temple. On the day we went at around 15.00, there were a lot of people at the temple, probably because it was a holiday and New Year's Day. So it was quite difficult to find a good angle to take pictures. I recommend coming on a weekday or on a holiday in the morning. There should be fewer people. Open for visits from 07.00-18.00 hrs. #Wat Rakhang

When talking about Somdej To, I believe that there is no Thai person who does not know him. With the chant “Chayasanakata Phuttachetawamarang…” which has been sacred in many eras until today, he was once the abbot of Wat Rakhang during the reign of King Rama V. And the amulet “Phra Somdej” that Somdej To created is considered another top sacred object. This makes this temple famous and has magic. Whenever you come to worship and ask for blessings, you must stop by Phra Wihan Somdej to chant in front of him for good fortune. This temple has been around since the Ayutthaya period. It was called Wat Bang Wa Yai and later changed its name to Wat Rakhang because a bell was found in this temple. It is a very melodious bell. King Rama I ordered it to be moved to Wat Phra Kaew, which is located across the Chao Phraya River. The chapel is also no less beautiful. There is a Buddha statue in the chapel that King Rama V named “Phra Buddha Yim Rap Fa” from its beautiful face. In addition, the mural paintings inside the chapel by a master painter during the reign of King Rama VI painted the back of the Buddha statue. It is said that Phra Malai went up to pay homage to Phra Maha Chulamani in the Daowadungsa heaven. The front image of the principal Buddha image is the image of the Lord Buddha descending from the Daowadungsa heaven and the image of a charioteer challenging the Lord Buddha to compete in halo. When looking at the side walls, the upper part is an image of a gathering of gods and the lower part tells of the Ten Lives of the Buddha, which is extremely beautiful. You can travel by car or boat from Tha Chang.

Another temple that is famous for its sacredness due to the power of Somdej Phra Buddhacarya (To Phrommaramsi) Wat Rakhang is an ancient temple in the Ayutthaya period. It used to be the residence of Somdej Phra Buddhacarya (To Phrommarangsi), an important and highly respected monk. The temple is located in Siriraj Subdistrict, Bang Khun Non District, Bangkok. It is a second-class royal temple of the Woramahawihan type. To put it simply, it is located near Wang Lang, Siriraj Hospital, and this Phran Nok Pier. Once, after praying, I got home and was about to pay the tuk-tuk driver when I found my wallet missing. So I took a taxi back to the taxi stand. I prayed to Luang Pu To to find my wallet. When I got off the taxi, I was thinking about where to start looking. I walked less than ten steps and found it on the ground nearby. It was crowded with people and almost 2 hours had passed. So I respected it and was impressed with it to this day. I will tell you about it. The temple is open every day from 7:00-18:00. There is a parking building available. #Wat Rakhang #Wang Lang #Worship9Temples #Worshipandaskforblessings

Wat Rakhang is an old temple, originally named Wat Bang Wa Yai. It used to be the residence of Somdej Phra Buddhacarya.

This building used to be the residence of King Rama I before he ascended the throne as the first king of the Chakri Dynasty. On the top of the building, there are currently two gilded dhamma cabinets on display, with ancient patterns from the Ayutthaya period that are quite complete and beautiful. The walls of the house also have painted patterns, but they are quite faded. #Waiting for the day to travel

In the early morning, Lumphini Park in Bangkok feels like a poem imbued with the scent of morning dew. Sunlight pierces through the swaying tree shadows, casting a serene glow on the winding paths, evoking a sense of peace and simplicity. Walking through the dense greenery, the sounds of birds chirping and the gentle rustle of the breeze temporarily make one forget the city's hustle and bustle, as if stepping into a tranquil oasis. The lake's surface mirrors the scattered white clouds and the tropical plants along the shore. Occasionally, people can be seen rowing boats, creating gentle ripples that still maintain the harmony of the scene. Local residents exercising in the morning are either jogging or practicing Tai Chi, each embracing the freshness in their own way. The most delightful surprise for me was the sight of the leisurely monitor lizards on the lawns, adding an exotic touch to this urban oasis. Lumphini Park is not just a natural sanctuary but also a haven for relaxation. Every step here seems to reclaim a sense of inner tranquility and freedom.

Wat Rakhang in Bangkok stands quietly in a bustling corner of the city, like a sanctuary away from the noise. Upon entering the temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the majestic stupa, gleaming gold and shining against the blue sky. The exquisite reliefs around tell Buddhist stories, with each detail seemingly imbued with profound wisdom and rich history. The spacious Buddha hall inside the temple is solemn and dignified, with flowers and candles offered by devotees placed in front of the Buddha statue. The air is filled with the subtle fragrance of sandalwood. I knelt quietly, hands clasped, feeling an indescribable peace and tranquility within. Looking up at the Buddha statue, its serene expression seemed to tell me that the wisdom of life comes from inner peace and acceptance. Strolling through the temple courtyard, sunlight filters through the lush tree shadows, and the faint sound of chanting can be heard. This temple is not just a building but a place to purify the soul. As I bid farewell, I left with a heart full of emotion and blessings, looking forward to experiencing this majesty and serenity again.

During the Thonburi period, King Taksin built a palace near Wat Bang Wa Yai and ordered it to be a royal temple and the residence of the Supreme Patriarch. During the Rattanakosin period, during the reign of King Rama I, Wat Bang Wa Yai was under the patronage of the royal family of the Wang Lang Palace, namely Her Royal Highness Princess Thepsudawadi (Sa), the elder sister of King Rama I and the mother of the Prince of the Palace of the Front. She had a palace next to the temple. She restored the temple together with King Rama I and dug up a bell, which she ordered to be placed at Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram.

This is a bronze Buddha image in the meditation posture, approximately 4 cubits wide across the lap. In front of his face are the images of 3 disciples, sitting with their hands together as if receiving a sermon from the Buddha. This principal Buddha image is praised for its beauty. It is said that once, when King Chulalongkorn came to offer the Kathina robe at Wat Rakhang, he remarked to those in his audience that no matter which temple he went to, it was not like Wat Rakhang. As soon as he entered the chapel, the principal Buddha image smiled at the sky every time. For this reason, he presented the Noppharat Rajavaraphon and the Knight Grand Cordon of the White Elephant to this principal Buddha image in particular. And this principal Buddha image has been named Phra Principal Yim Rap Fa since then.
