Wat Pao Rohit, Buddhist temple in Bang Yi Khan, Bangkok, Thailand
Located at the intersection of two canals, Wat Pao Rohit features traditional Thai architecture with a white ordination hall and red-tiled roofs.
The temple gained prominence during King Rama III's reign from 1832 to 1848 when it became a center for Buddhist education and cultural preservation.
The temple functions as both a religious center and an educational institution, offering traditional Thai medicine and massage training programs since 1955.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily from sunrise to sunset, with formal ceremonies taking place during Buddhist holidays and special occasions.
The temple walls contain ancient medical illustrations and inscriptions that UNESCO recognized in its Memory of the World Programme for their educational value.
