Wat Somanat Ratcha Wora Wihan

The temple features traditional Thai architecture with golden spires, ornate decorations, and symmetrical buildings surrounded by carefully maintained gardens and courtyards.

King Rama III ordered the construction of Wat Somanat in the early 19th century, incorporating Western architectural elements into its traditional Thai design.

The temple maintains its role as a spiritual center where monks conduct daily rituals, teach meditation, and guide the local community in Buddhist practices.

Visitors should wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering the temple grounds, which are open daily from sunrise to sunset.

The temple holds a large collection of Buddha statues, including a principal image that displays an unusual combination of Thai and Chinese artistic styles.
