Wat Tri Thotsathep, Royal Buddhist temple in Ban Phan Thom district, Bangkok, Thailand

The temple features a marble and granite Ubosot housing a golden Buddha statue, along with a stupa and shrine hall within its walled compound.

Construction began in the 19th century under two princes but was completed by King Rama IV, who named it to honor the three royal contributors.

The temple maintains a school that evolved from religious education to provide general education while preserving Buddhist teachings for local children.

Visitors should note that the shrine hall remains closed most of the time, and the stupa allows ground-level access only during specific occasions.

The temple walls contain unfinished murals depicting Buddha's life, initiated in recent years alongside a Sukhothai-style Buddha image from the 1980s.
