Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, Chinese Buddhist temple in Pom Prap district, Bangkok, Thailand.
The temple follows traditional Chinese architecture with tiled roofs, animal decorations, and three main pavilions containing multiple religious statues and shrines.
Established in 1871 by Phra Archan Chin Wang Samathiwat, King Chulalongkorn later renamed it from Wat Leng Noei Yi to Wat Mangkon Kamalawat.
The temple combines Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements, with devotees performing rituals such as burning paper money as offerings to ancestors.
Located off Charoen Krung Road in Bangkok's Chinatown, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM without entrance fees.
The temple grounds feature a grand hallway containing three golden Buddha statues representing Siddhartha Gautama, surrounded by numerous Chinese deities.
