Wat Suthat
Wat Suthat is a large monastery covering an area of
44,980 square metres that is located right at the heart of Bangkok.
The construction began during the reign of King Rama I (1807 A.D.)
and it took 27 years to complete. Phra Sisakayamuni image from Wat
Mahathat in Sukhothai was brought to reign over the temple, and the
City of Bangkok for that matter.
Wat Suthat is a focal point for many interesting architectural, sculptural,
and visual highlights reflective of Buddhist theme and philosophy.
. The doors and windows of the main chapel are individually carved
with intricate and beautiful details. The main doorway at the front
entrance was noted to be the work of King Rama II himself. |
