Wat Thepthidaram

Originally called Wat Ban Phraakrai Suanluang, this temple was built between 1836 and 1839 by order of King Rama III.


A gift for HRH Prince Apsornsudathep, its architecture is characteristic of the period, especially the ordination hall, with its strong Chinese features such as a gable decorated with glazed ceramics. Inside are some impressive murals and the temple's main Buddha image, Luang Phor Khao or Phra Buddha Devavilasa.

The prayer hall exhibits a similar style and contains images of 43 enlightened female disciples cast in metal. There are also 4 tall prangs (Khmer-style towers) representing the 4 Chinese deities.

Open: Daily from 8 am to 5 pm
