Description: |
|
Officially named Wat Mahathat Yuwarat Rangsarit, this is one of
Bangkok’s oldest royal temples built during the Ayutthaya
Kingdom. It sits between the Grand Palace and the Palace of
prince viceroys. The temple was known by other name, while the
current name, Wat Mahathat, was given by Rama I in 1803 when it
became the residence of the chief monk and the Buddha’s relics,
inspired by the temple of its kind in Ayutthaya Kingdom. Wat
Mahatat is now home to Mahachulalongkorn Buddhist University,
the premier center for Buddhist education in Thailand and the
meditation center offering classes for locals and visitors.
Opening hours: Daily 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.
