[2025 Bangkok Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Yannawa (Updated Apr)

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.

#celebratewithtrip The Wat Yannawa that is also known as “the boat temple” iMost distinctive feature of the large complex is the viharn built in the shape of a Chinese junk vessel, a 19th century sailing ship. The Wat Yannawa is one of the older temples in Bangkok; it was built during the time of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, before the founding of the Rattanakosin Kingdom and the city of Bangkok. The boat temple is located in the Sathorn district of Bangkok on Charoen Krung road. It is found just around the corner (South) from BTS Sky Train station Saphan Taksin. I would recommend a visit to this temple as it have so much history in it

got off the ferry from icon siam to sapan taksin stop and decided to take a stroll along the street and chance upon traditional thai buddhist temples and it was worth a visit. alot of individual owned shops with no frills display but is a charm to visit and to take nice photos. along the street, there are many types of shops and fruits and food for you to try and to experience. did not know that just across from the icon siam that you will chance upon a rare hidden gems and is not explored by tourist and mainly alot of locals going about their daily chores. stop for a cup of tea or a delicious thai coffee and enjoy some local snacks to wrap up a sunny day.#mustvisit

This time I will introduce a one-day tour itinerary along the Chao Phraya River in the old city. All itinerary attractions are free to visit and take photos📸, no tickets are required. Itinerary introduction: first go out from the hotel and take the skytrain BTS or take a taxi to Saphan Taksin สะพานตากสิน station. Then walk fifty meters to an urban oasis park attraction: Saphan Taksin Public Park (สวนสาธารณะสะพานตากสิน). This oasis park is as big as a football field. It has a modern horticultural art design and is planted with many tropical green plants and flowers. It is very beautiful with lush greenery and is very suitable for taking photos📸.

This is a temple built by the first generation of Chinese immigrants who came to Bangkok. It has a history of hundreds of years. The prayers in this temple are very effective, and local residents will come here to pray. The temple architecture is also very beautiful and suitable for taking photos📸. Then we came to the highlight of this trip, the landmark temple attraction on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok: Wat Phra Kaew. This is a royal ancient temple with a history of hundreds of years. It was a temple built by the King of Thailand to commemorate the contribution made by the first generation of Chinese immigrants to the Sino-Thai shipping trade. The biggest feature of the temple is the boat-shaped temple hall, which is tall, majestic and magnificent, with exquisite and gorgeous exterior decoration, which is very suitable for taking pictures. After visiting Wat Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, we came to the bridge across the Chao Phraya River: King Taksin the Great Bridge (สะพานสมเด็จพระเจ้าตากสินมหาราช). Walk along the pedestrian walkway of the bridge to the other side of the Chao Phraya River. Along the way, you can enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Chao Phraya River and the majestic buildings on both sides. It is definitely the best place to check in and take photos📸.

#Bangkok Itinerary When I first saw Wat Phra That Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, I was attracted by its leisurely temperament lying quietly on the Chao Phraya River. The magnificent main hall sparkles in the sun, like a gorgeous dragon boat, carrying the memories of the years and the power of faith. The eaves of the temple are like the wings of a phoenix spreading its wings. The exquisitely carved wood carvings and colorful tiles complement each other, full of the delicate beauty of traditional Thai architecture. As you enter the temple, the air is filled with the elegant scent of sandalwood. The believers sat quietly in front of the Buddha statue, praying in low voices, and everything around them seemed immersed in peace. I walked gently into the back hall and carefully examined the murals on the wall that recorded Buddhist stories. The bright colors and smooth lines told the legends from thousands of years ago, which made people feel awe. Walking out of the temple, the sparkling Chao Phraya River in the evening complements the Wat Rong Khun Temple, as if heaven and earth are composing a quiet poem together. Here, history and nature coexist harmoniously, making people linger and their minds clear.

#Travel along the electric train line Take a break on a holiday, take the BTS Skytrain and get off at Taksin Station, then exit 4, walk straight out to Charoen Krung Road, then turn right a little bit, walk less than 5 minutes and you will reach Wat Yannawa. Wat Yannawa .. Originally named "Wat Khok Khwai", it is an ancient temple since the Ayutthaya period. As for the origin of the name of Wat Khok Khwai, the area was originally a place of residence for the Thawai people and a place for trading and exchanging buffaloes (buffalo), which is the origin of the name of the temple and the community at that time. .. During the reign of King Rama III, he built a junk pagoda instead of the general stupa pagoda because "he predicted that junks would disappear in the future" because there were more and more sailing ships like the Westerners. People in the future want to see what junks look like, so they can come and see this temple. #btsTaksin #BangkokTravel #WatYannawa

#Bangkok Attractions Bangkok, Thailand is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come to Bangkok for sightseeing and vacation. There are many famous temple attractions in Bangkok. This time I would like to recommend a landmark historical temple attraction in Bangkok, Wat Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya (Wat Nakhon Si Ayutthaya). Free to visit, no tickets required. During the Ming Dynasty, water transportation between the Ming Dynasty and Southeast Asian countries relied on a large sailing ship with a red hull and leaping dragons painted on both sides of the bow. It was commonly known as the red-headed ship. Due to the contribution of the Chinese to the construction of Thailand, in the early 19th century, the Thai monarch Rama III used steel and concrete to build a temple imitating a red-headed boat, with two pagodas representing the mast, and bestowed the name "Dragon Boat Temple" for citizens to admire orchids. The entire temple building is magnificent, solemn and dignified, and it is very photogenic! It is one of the must-see attractions in Bangkok.

Bangkok Dragon Boat Temple Wat Yannawa Phra Aram Luang During the Ming Dynasty of China, there was frequent maritime communication with various countries in Southeast Asia, primarily relying on a type of large sailing ship. The ships were painted red and had dragons leaping on both sides of the bow, commonly known as 'Red Head Ships'. Due to the contributions of the Chinese to the construction of Siam, in the early 19th century, during the reign of King Rama III (1824-1851), an order was given to rebuild a sampan and a stupa, constructing a temple in imitation of the Red Head Ships using steel and concrete. Two stupas were built to represent the masts, and the temple was granted the new name 'Dragon Boat Temple' for the public to admire. In 1987, the temple constructed a Thai-style multipurpose building, three stories high, adorned with five Thai-style roofs, used as a pavilion and hall for preaching, practicing, and meditating, as well as a library. Additionally, the Teochew temple within the grounds was restored, housing Chinese deities. Mae Thorani Temple One hundred meters further, there is another Chinese temple: Mae Thorani Temple, colloquially known as 'Kukai Mae'. The main deity is Mae Thorani, with Guan Yu and the God of Wealth as accompanying deities. Address: 40 Charoen Krung Rd, Yan Nawa, Sathon, Bangkok 10120 Thailand

A famous pork barbecue restaurant in Thonburi that I recommend. The gimmick of this restaurant is that there is a shrimp pond. Catch and eat as you go. But I think ordering it will fill you up faster. Most of the time, when you catch shrimp, you drink beer while you catch them. The menu here is sold as a set. Small, medium, large (500) means 3 people can eat until they are stuffed. The sauce is delicious. The staff is fast (emphasizing speed, not negotiation). There is a lot of parking. Total score 9.5/10 (deducting points for the staff's speed and lack of negotiation)

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
