#tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี 🍀Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangklararm Ratchaworamahawihan is a first-class royal temple. It was originally called Wat Photharam, or "Wat Pho" for short. It is an ancient temple. It was built by the people during the reign of King Phetracha in the Ayutthaya period. Later, King Taksin the Great elevated it to the status of a royal monk. 🛕 King Rama I ordered the construction of a pagoda to enshrine the Phra Si Sanphet Buddha image, which was brought from Ayutthaya. He held a celebration and gave it a new name, "Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangklararm", as the temple of King Rama I. 🛕 Later, King Rama III ordered the restoration of the pagoda and gave it the name Phra Maha Chedi Si Sanphetchayayan. He also built Phra Maha Chedi Dilokthamkanithan to dedicate to King Rama II. He intended for Wat Pho to be a university for the people. His Majesty ordered the collection of knowledge to be inscribed on stone tablets and placed in the area of ​​the ordination hall for the public to study and gain knowledge. 🙏 Inside the ordination hall, there is the Phra Phuttha Devapatimakorn, under which the base of the altar contains the royal remains of King Rama I. 🙏 The Vihara is where the most beautiful reclining Buddha is enshrined, and the fourth largest in Thailand. It is a brick and mortar Buddha statue with mother-of-pearl inlays, representing 108 auspicious symbols. 🛕 In addition, Wat Pho has a total of 99 pagodas, making it the temple with the most pagodas in Thailand. 🛕 There are four great pagodas from the reigns of Kings I and IV of the Rattanakosin period. 📚 Currently, Wat Pho offers training to disseminate traditional medicine. Those who complete the training will receive a medical license from the Ministry of Public Health. 💥Wat Phra Chetuphon: Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok 🌐Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/K6QtXLytULiu2wwu7 🕗Opening - closing hours: 8.00 a.m. - 7.30 p.m. 🇻🇳 Admission fee: Foreigners 300 baht #Bangkok attractions #Bangkok #Beautiful temples in Bangkok
