Wat Welu Wanaram, Buddhist temple in Don Mueang, Thailand.
Wat Welu Wanaram is a Buddhist temple in Don Mueang featuring multiple buildings arranged across the grounds in traditional Thai style, including an ordination hall and a central shrine. The structures display ornate decorative details and architectural patterns characteristic of Thai temple design.
Local residents established the temple during the reign of King Rama V, around the year 2444 in the Buddhist calendar. The site went through multiple name changes over time, beginning as Wat Gok before eventually adopting its current name.
Monks conduct daily prayers and spiritual practices at the temple, which remain central to how the local community expresses its faith. The site functions as a spiritual anchor for the neighborhood, where residents visit to worship and participate in religious ceremonies throughout the year.
The temple is located on Thanon Wat Weru Wanaram in Don Mueang and opens daily from early morning to evening hours. Visitors should dress respectfully and follow local customs when entering sacred areas of the grounds.
The temple owes its current name to the abundance of bamboo trees that surround the grounds, which have shaped how locals identify the place. These plants have remained a defining feature of the site for generations and continue to distinguish it from neighboring temples.
