Pariwas Temple, Rama 3 area

The 300-million-baht Ubosot and Vihara at Wat Pariwas in the Phra Ram 3 area. Bomiko has been here often and likes this place very much. But what surprised me was the 300-million-baht Ubosot and Vihara. Don't be shocked, it's the truth. With contemporary architecture 🕍 Wat Pariwas Ratchasongkhram, which is over 200 years old, has become an important landmark for tourists to come and see the outstanding sculptures, especially the church that was built with a cost of over 300 million baht. It has been built for over 10 years and is still not finished. Inside the church, there are sculptures of the life of the Buddha, important people, and the teachings of the Buddha such as the Eightfold Path. The roof of the church, walls, arches, windows, pillars, stairs, and walls of the Ubosot on all four sides also have international cartoon characters, both old and new, such as Guan Yu, Jiu Pa Tong, Emperor Jade, Cupid Cupid, or even Dae Jang Geum, etc. But what attracts the most young Buddhists are probably the cartoon and superhero sculptures. Spiderman, Superman, Mickey Mouse, Old Turtle, or even Pikachu, which is being shared on social media, these cartoon characters created from Benjarong art, decorated with gems, were created by Thai craftsmen. The intention of His Holiness is to create contemporary art so that the new generation will remember these current arts because old sculptures can be seen everywhere or are already found at various important historical sites. Status and location Wat Pariwas is located on the Chao Phraya River on the Phra Nakhon side.
