Wat Asa Songkhram

Wat Asa Songkhram is a Buddhist temple located near Khaosan Road with traditional Thai architecture featuring ornate roofs, murals, and carved statues. The grounds display Buddhist teachings through decorative reliefs and religious imagery positioned throughout various structures.

The temple was founded before 1782 under its original name Wat Klang Na. King Rama I later elevated it to royal monastery status and designated it to house the Mon people.

The temple serves as an active place of worship where locals come daily to pray and meditate in quiet corners throughout the grounds. It functions as a gathering space where the community practices their faith together.

The temple is free to visit throughout the year with no entrance fees required. Wear loose, modest clothing that covers your shoulders and legs, particularly in the prayer areas.

The temple grounds feature a replica wall built to commemorate historical battles from the past. A shrine dedicated to King Taksin the Great has been located there since the 1960s.
