Wat Chakkrawat, Buddhist temple in Chinatown, Bangkok, Thailand
The temple features an intricate Ordination Hall facing westward toward the Emerald Buddha at the Grand Palace, with elevated platforms containing a Mondop and Prang.
Originally known as Wat Sam Pluem during the Ayutthaya period, the temple maintains its position as a registered historic site in Bangkok's Chakkrawat district.
The temple grounds contain a concrete grotto housing a black Buddha shadow where devotees apply gold leaf offerings and perform traditional prayers.
Located at 225/3 Chakkrawat Road, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 to 17:00, with access through Ratchawong Pier or multiple bus routes.
The temple maintains a dedicated enclosure for resident crocodiles, including the preserved remains of a legendary one-eyed crocodile named Ai-bod from the Ayutthaya period.
