#VisitBangkok The temple is outstanding and combines art decorations. The graceful sculptures are very delicate. The ordination hall has two floors. The lower floor is where the white marble Buddha statue is enshrined. The upper floor is where the principal Buddha image, Luang Pho Phra Phuttha Phutthimongkhonchai, is enshrined. The highlight is the mural paintings in the ordination hall and the sculptures of the Eightfold Path around the ordination hall. They are contemporary art and very beautiful. The temple is located on Charoen Krung Road, opposite Suthiwararam School. It is easy to get there. Get off at BTS Taksin and then take a bus. The bus passes in front of the temple. If you have time, you should take the opportunity to worship the Buddha, make merit, and pray.

I didn't think that #in the heart of Bangkok there would be a temple with #art in the style of #Buddhist art as beautiful and magnificent as this. Starting from #bts #Saphan Taksin, take the bus on #Charoen Krung Road for a few stops and get off at #Wat Suthiwararam stop, you will see a large and beautiful Buddha statue. The large Buddha statue is called "Phra Phuttha Siri Sutthisawat" or often called "Luang Pho Phra Yai". Behind it is a marble chapel surrounded by #Buddhist sculptures. Even in the chapel, there is an exhibition of #Buddhist art paintings that are also magnificent. For those who like to go to the temple to make merit and see art, this temple should be one of the temples worth visiting. Entrance fee .. Free Location ...

🏘 After King Taksin liberated the kingdom in 1769, he led a naval expedition to suppress the faction in Nakhon Si Thammarat. He brought Phra Ya Nakhon (Noo) and his family to Thonburi. 🏞 Later, Phra Ya Nakhon requested royal permission to move to the Phra Nakhon side, near Khlong Kruai by the Chao Phraya River, and built a temple close to Wat Khok Khwai. ⛺ In 1776, Phra Ya Nakhon returned to govern Nakhon Si Thammarat, and there is no record of who supported the temple afterward. 🏕 Subsequently, Lao Wiang people were relocated from Vientiane during the Chao Anouvong war to settle near the temple, which then became known as Wat Lao. ♨️ During the reign of King Rama V, a fire destroyed the entire temple, leading to its relocation to the current site. 🏠 Lady Suthit, wife of Chao Phraya Songkhla (Men Na Songkhla), requested royal permission from King Rama V to rebuild the temple, which was renamed Wat Suthiwararam. Since then, the temple has been supported by the Songkhla family. Key attractions within the temple include: 🏠 The ordination hall, built in 1994, is a four-gabled structure housing the principal Buddha image in the Sukhothai style, created by Lady Suthit during King Rama VI's reign. Both floors and the surrounding area feature visual and sculptural arts. 🙏🏽 A replica of the Buddha's footprint, constructed during King Rama IX's reign. 🛕 A Lanka-style stupa, built in 1937 during King Rama VII's reign, showcasing Thai hybrid art. It was constructed over the old stupa known as the Black Stupa. 🛖 The bell tower, built in 1932. 🏡 Wat Suthiwararam: No. 223 Charoen Krung Road, Yan Nawa Subdistrict, Sathon District, Bangkok. ⛳ Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/VQtzrDLEq3ETiRz68 🕕 Opening hours: 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM.

#Flying and traveling with trip #Bangkok attractions #Visiting temples Wat Suthiwararam is located on Charoen Krung Road in Sathon District. It is one of the two temples of the Na Songkhla family. It is a Mahanikaya temple. The temple is like a contemporary Buddhist art gallery, with both the paintings that contain mystical Dhamma in the ordination hall and the white stucco Buddhist art around the ordination hall. The ordination hall is a two-story, four-sided pavilion. At the back, there is a large white Buddha statue for people to go up and apply gold leaf to the Buddha statue.

About 15 minutes walk from BTS Saphan Taksin Station. I learned about this temple through social media, and it's located right next to Sui Heng, a popular Khao Man Gai restaurant. If you're staying at the Capella Hotel or the Four Seasons Hotel, you can walk to Wat Suttiwararam 🖐️ It's not a popular tourist spot in Bangkok, and because of that, there aren't many visitors, so I was able to take my time looking around. There are many beautiful statues here, and the hall on the second floor is covered in pink-based murals that are worth seeing ✨ Sit down in the quiet space and pray for a while while feeling the sacred atmosphere 🙏 There are many wonderful temples in the city that require admission, but I'm sure there are also many wonderful temples that are free. If you're tired of the same old tourist attractions, why not try looking for a special temple? 😉 Visiting period: October 2023 #BangkokTourism #OverseasTravel #Asia #SoutheastAsian #AsiaTravel #Thailand #ThailandTrip #Bangkok #Temple #Temple #WatSutthiwararam #watsutthiwararam #BuddhaStatue #Mural

People who are into fortune telling in Thonburi should not miss paying homage to Thao Wessuwan at Wat Sutharam. There are two statues of Thao Wessuwan at Wat Sutharam, a small statue and a large statue, for us to worship. The secret to paying homage to Thao Wessuwan in terms of money is to take your wallet and circle it around his can three times and pray for a lot of money. Wat Sutharam also has 108 hermits for us to worship. #
