Wat Intharam Worawihan

Wat Intharam Worawihan, Buddhist temple in Bang Yi Ruea district, Thailand

Description

Wat Intharam Worawihan is a royal temple in Bang Yi Ruea district, Thailand, located on Thoet Thai Road. The complex includes a white stupa, several prayer halls with wall paintings, and a main sanctuary with traditional architecture combining Chinese and Thai features.

History

An 18th-century king founded this temple between 1767 and 1782 as a place for meditation and royal ceremonies. Later, the grounds served as a crematorium for the founder and members of the court.

Culture

The temple takes its name from a historic period and displays frescoes across its walls that combine Buddhist legends with Chinese design elements. The main hall contains a brass figure of the Buddha in an earth-touching gesture representing a moment of awakening.

Practical

The grounds on Thoet Thai Road are accessible daily, and visitors should wear covered shoulders and knees. Shoes must be removed before entering the prayer halls and main sanctuary.

Did you know?

The grounds contain burial structures with the remains of a king and his consort from the late 18th century. These burial sites are located in separate white towers within the temple compound.
