Wat Ratchanatdaram W

Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan, Inside the temple is a metal castle, which is the only metal castle in Thailand and the only one in the world. It was built in 2389 B.E., which was the end of the reign of King Nangklao. His Majesty ordered the construction of a metal castle instead of a pagoda. It is considered the first metal castle in Thailand. It is a 7-storey building with 37 castle spires, which represent the 37 factors of enlightenment in Buddhism. The 7th castle spire is where the Buddha's relics are enshrined. In the middle of the castle is a hollow space with a 67-step spiral staircase that allows you to walk up to see the view from above. Most of the architecture in Wat Ratchanatdaram is still in the Thai style. The ordination hall has a gable, raka leaves, and a pediment covered with gold lacquer and decorated with beautiful glass. Inside is the principal Buddha image named "Phra Setthammuni". The viharn is also in the Thai style. Inside is the main Buddha image in the attitude of calming the ocean, named "Phra Phutthachutithamnarasop". #Waiting for the day to travel
