#VisitBangkok Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan is a large temple located next to Phuttha Bridge, along Prajadhipok Road. You can clearly see the large white pagoda. And from the project to restore the pagoda that is 189 years old, the temple has received an award for cultural conservation in the Asia-Pacific region from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Built during the reign of King Rama III, it enshrines Phra Phuttha Trairatnayok or Luang Pho To. If you have the opportunity to visit Bangkok, just cross the Phra Phutthayotfa Chulalok Bridge and you will see the amazing beauty of this pagoda. Especially the top of the pagoda, if you go up, you will see an amazing view. In addition, around the Phra Borommathat Maha Chedi, there are pictures showing the history of the temple and pictures from the past, more than 180 years ago. If anyone likes history, come and see here. Time: 7:00-18:00
