Description: |
|
Located in Rattanakosin not far from the Grand Palace and Wat
Ratchabophit, the diminutive and yet striking Wat Ratchapradit
dates back to the late 19th Century, belonging to the Thammayut
Nikai Buddhist sect. King Rama IV had it built for them on a
former coffee plantation. The central feature, the
impressive ubosot, is richly decorated in grey and white marble
tiles and carved wood. The gateways and windows are adorned with
intricate stucco crowns, the doors and window frames with
Chinese pearl. The ceiling of the room is a deep red with
patterns of gold gilded rosettes, while murals of royal
ceremonies grace the walls. Inside is a beautiful altar
containing the ashes of King Rama IV, on top of which is a
replica of Phra Buddha Sihing. There are also two Khmer
influenced prangs, one of which has faces clearly reminiscent of
Cambodia's Angkor Thom temple. Opening Hours: 09:00 - 19:00
