Itinerary introduction: First take public transportation or taxi to Wat Ratchanadaram วัดราชนัดดาราม station. After getting off the bus, you will see the first attraction: Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan วัดราชนัดดารามวรวิหาร Metal Castle Temple. The temple was built in 1846. It was built by Rama III for his granddaughter Somana, who later became the first queen of Rama IV Mongkut. The ordination hall, monastery and lecture hall in the temple were designed and supervised by the judge Chao Phraya Yongmala. King Rama III ordered the construction of a magnificent metal temple within the temple; it was not completed until the reign of King Rama V. Personal experience: This is a very special temple. The first floor presents different grid-like passages, with Buddha statues in different areas. There is a spiral staircase to go upstairs, and there is a narrow one. You need to be courteous when there are people going up and down. The solid wooden stairs are wide and thick, and there is a sense of calm and solidity when you step on them! There is a little bit of courtesy when you climb to the top, and you can rest and worship along different floors. There are touches during the visit. The view from the top floor is very good, you must go up to see the majestic four-sided pagoda in the distance. Taking photos 📸 will definitely be a hit. After visiting this temple, we came to the memorial sculpture attraction next to it: Statue of King Rama III (พระบรมราชานุสาวรีย์พระบาทสมเด็จพระนั่งเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว). The King Rama III Statue, located in Bangkok, is an important monument honoring King Nangklao, also known as King Rama III, the third monarch of the Chakri Dynasty. The statue is a prominent feature of the public space and was built to honour the king's contribution to Thai history. Historical Significance: King Rama III reigned from 1824 to 1851 and is remembered for his efforts to modernize Thailand during a period of great change. His reign focused on improving the country's infrastructure, including the construction of major public works and the promotion of trade and commerce. The statue commemorates his achievements and the role he played in shaping the country's development during that era. Design & Features: This statue depicts King Rama III in traditional royal attire, in a majestic pose. The details of the sculptures reflect the king's status and the artistic level of that period. The monument sits on a raised plinth and is surrounded by generally well-maintained landscaping, enhancing its visibility and prominence. The design is both elegant and respectful, reflecting the majesty of the king. After visiting this attraction, we came to another attraction nearby: Mahakan Fort
ป้อมมหากาฬPhra Sumien Fortress and Park. It was built in 1783 during the reign of Jufajula Lok and is one of the 14 forts. Built in an octagonal shape to protect the city, it is surrounded by a double wall and is one of only two remaining fortresses. The fortress building is tall and majestic, and the photos taken 📸 will definitely be outstanding. Next to the fortress is an oasis park designed in European garden art style. It is planted with many tropical green plants, trees and flowers. It is lush and green and very beautiful.
