Wat Kanmatuyaram, Buddhist temple in Samphanthawong, Thailand.
The temple stands on Mangkon Road in Bangkok's Chinatown district, featuring traditional Thai architectural elements and Buddhist religious symbols throughout its grounds.
Constructed in 1864 during King Mongkut's reign, the temple was funded by Mrs. Kleap Sakhonwasi, who dedicated her flower garden for its establishment.
The temple incorporates both Thai Buddhist and Chinese influences, evident in its shrine to Guanyin and its traditional Buddhist ordination hall with life-story murals.
Visitors can access the temple daily during daylight hours without admission fees, with the entrance located on Charoen Krung Road near Wat Mangkon Kamalawat.
The temple houses one of only two stupas in Thailand modeled after the Dhamek Stupa of Saranath, India, where Buddha delivered his first sermon.
