Wat Kuson Samakhon, Vietnamese Buddhist temple in Chinatown, Bangkok, Thailand.

The temple contains multiple pavilions that combine Vietnamese architectural elements with Thai design features throughout its spiritual complex.

Established in 1841, Wat Kuson Samakhon emerged as Vietnamese migrants settled in Bangkok, becoming the central location for Annum Nikaya Buddhist practice.

The temple functions as an educational center where young novices study Buddhist teachings according to Vietnamese traditions while living in the monastery.

Visitors can reach the temple through an alley from Ratchawong Boulevard, with the entrance located away from the main Yaowarat Road.

The monks at Wat Kuson Samakhon wear distinctive robes that reflect their Vietnamese Buddhist lineage, different from Thai or Chinese temple practices.
