Wat Ratchaburana, Buddhist temple in Wang Burapha Phirom, Bangkok, Thailand.
This Buddhist sanctuary in Bangkok displays two distinctive towers decorated with fine stucco work representing the architectural style of the Ayutthaya period. The interior chambers hold ancient wall paintings with religious imagery and objects from that historical era.
A king built this site in the early 15th century as a memorial to his two brothers who died in power struggles. The sanctuary suffered destructive damage during World War II but was later restored through local residents' efforts.
The site takes its royal name from the king who built it, reflecting the reverence people held for the founding family. Visitors can observe today how this place remains important in the daily devotion of worshippers.
The grounds are accessible daily through the entrance on Chakkraphet Road and can be easily walked through. Multilingual guides are available to help visitors understand the details of the site.
This place was actually removed from the official temple registry after war damage, which made its return all the more remarkable. The community kept memory alive and achieved its restoration without official backing.
