Wat Utokkhep Simaram

The temple features a 43-meter gilded chedi covered with orange tiles and topped by a golden sphere, complemented by a circular courtyard layout.

Established during King Chulalongkorn's reign in 1893 by Phra Cholatomakunmunee, the temple received its first Wisungsema ubosod certification in 1916.

The temple grounds integrate Thai Buddhist architectural elements with European influences, particularly visible in the ordination hall's decorative patterns.

The temple maintains regular opening hours throughout the week and requires visitors to follow appropriate dress codes when entering religious buildings.

The temple complex includes a rare combination of traditional Buddhist structures alongside a Christian church and contains monuments dedicated to Thai royal family members.
