Wat Mongkolratanaram, Thai Buddhist temple in Berkeley, United States
Wat Mongkolratanaram occupies a Victorian house at 1911 Russell Street, featuring traditional Thai architectural elements and decorative entryway modifications to the original structure.
The temple completed transformative renovations of its Victorian building in 2001, marking 25 years of continuous service to Thai Buddhists in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The temple functions as Berkeley's Thai Cultural Center, providing language classes and organizing annual Songkran celebrations during April to preserve Thai traditions.
Visitors exchange cash for tokens at the entrance to participate in the Sunday brunch from 10 am to 1 pm, where different stations offer authentic Thai dishes.
The temple's Sunday food market survived neighborhood opposition in 2009 through strong community support, leading to a favorable decision by Berkeley's Zoning Board.
