Admire the white marble walls and columns, high decorative gables, and red-stepped roofs of Wat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaram, a Buddhist temple representative of Bankok's ornate style and renowned for its beauty. Experience monks praying and chanting, wander through a cloister lined with 52 images of Buddha, and enjoy some quite reflection in the tranquil gardens, through which a small canal runs. Built in 1899 at the request of King Chulalongkorn, the name translates as "the temple of the fifth King" located nearby Dusit Palace.

Nice, quiet, less visited Wat near the royal residence. I really enjoyed the replica Buddha's with explanations (in English and Thai) regarding where and when they were from. Incredible detail and artistry can be found at this complex.

My favourite temple in Bangkok 🤍 The atmosphere here is always relaxing. I love the gallery of the Buddha statue replicas from all over Asia (Thai, Burmese, Khmer, Indian, Japanese, Chinese style). The gardens with drums, where anyone can feel the vibrations of the soul, are wonderful.
