Wat Benjamabhopit
Wat Benjamabhopit, most commonly called Wat Benja, was built by King Rama V in 1900 and is renowned for more than one reason.
It's nicknamed 'The Marble Temple' because all the external walls of the main temple are covered with marble imported from Italy but is more famous for being the temple embossed on the back of 5 baht coins. Located near the many government offices and palaces, this wat is highly revered and is often visited by high-ranked officials.
