Wat Prasat Bunyawat

Wat Prasat Bunyawat is a Buddhist temple in an urban district of Bangkok that combines traditional Thai architectural design with contemporary spaces and houses multiple historic Buddha statues. The complex also functions as a museum where visitors can learn about local history and religious traditions.

The site was originally established as a temple in 1854 and received its current name in the mid-20th century. This renaming reflected a reorientation of the place that strengthened its role for the local community.

The temple functions as a repository of Buddhist spiritual practices and displays objects that help visitors understand the religious traditions of the local community.

The grounds are located in an accessible urban setting and can be reached via standard Bangkok transportation routes. Visitors should prepare for a site that combines religious areas with open museum spaces.

The site is known for producing special amulet figures since the 1960s, made with sacred herbs and fragments of earlier models. This amulet tradition attracts followers who believe in their spiritual power.
