Wat Yan Nawa, Buddhist temple in Yan Nawa district, Bangkok, Thailand
The temple features a concrete structure that replicates a Chinese junk boat, with tall spires rising against the Bangkok skyline at the waterfront.
King Nangklao established this temple during the early 19th century Rattanakosin period, marking the importance of maritime trade in Thai society.
The temple grounds contain numerous Buddha statues and religious symbols that demonstrate the interweaving of Thai and Chinese architectural elements.
The temple maintains regular opening hours from sunrise to sunset, with visitors required to wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees.
The bell tower stands within the concrete junk boat structure, creating an architectural design not found in other Thai temples.
