Wat Thatsanarun Suntharikaram, Buddhist temple in Makkasan, Bangkok, Thailand
Wat Thatsanarun Suntharikaram is a Buddhist temple in the Makkasan district featuring traditional Thai architecture with a main hall, prayer rooms, and meditation spaces throughout its grounds. The complex combines classical design elements with functional areas dedicated to religious practice.
The temple received formal registration in 1783 during the Thonburi period, marking the start of its documented role in the region's religious life. This official recognition established its standing as a significant place within the city's spiritual landscape.
The temple serves as a gathering place where locals come for daily meditation and Buddhist ceremonies rooted in traditional practices. People use the spaces to participate in spiritual activities alongside their community.
The temple is accessible by public transportation and operates during daytime hours with extended evening sessions available. Visitors should confirm opening times as these may vary depending on ceremonies or special events.
The temple houses a 700-year-old Buddha statue in Sukhothai style called Luang Por To, which draws worshippers from throughout Bangkok. This ancient figure remains one of the most valued treasures at the site.
