Why go
Approach by river to see how the temple marks the opposite bank from Bangkok’s old royal quarter. From close range, the surface changes from a familiar skyline silhouette to a mosaic of reused ceramics and shell. Sculptures of mythical figures and the entrance guardians offer a second layer of detail beyond the central prang.
What to look for
- Riverfront stupas
- Porcelain and seashell decoration
Useful to know
