Wat Ratchakhrue, Buddhist temple in Bang Yi Ruea, Bangkok, Thailand.

The temple complex features traditional Thai architecture with a main hall, several pagodas, and multiple Buddha statues throughout its grounds.

King Taksin restored this Ayutthaya-era temple in the late 18th century, establishing it as a royal temple and using it for meditation retreats.

The temple serves as both a spiritual center for Buddhist practices and a memorial site containing the ashes of King Taksin and his consort.

Visitors can access the temple grounds daily, with guided tours available to explore the historical structures and religious artifacts.

The temple grounds contain multiple stupas that house royal ashes, making it one of the few temples with direct connections to King Taksin.
