Wat Moli Lokkayaram

The Wat Molilokkayaram temple stands near Thonburi Market, featuring traditional Thai architecture with intricate wooden structures and terracotta decorations throughout its grounds.

King Taksin incorporated the temple into his Thonburi Palace complex in 1767, after which it underwent several name changes and renovations during the Rattanakosin period.

The temple functions as a center for Pali language studies, where monks dedicate themselves to learning and preserving Buddhist texts and teachings.

Located at 298/1 Th Mani Nopharat, visitors can reach the temple using BMTA bus routes 57 and 710 or by taking a Khlong Bangkok Yai longtail boat.

In 2024, the temple gained recognition when a seventeen-year-old novice monk became the youngest person in Thailand to pass the prestigious Pali 9 examinations.
