[2025 Bangkok Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Hua Lumphong (Updated Feb)

#WinterTravel Place: Wat Hua Lamphong Atmosphere: Wat Hua Lamphong is a fairly large royal temple located in the heart of the city, at Samyan. You can come to make merit, worship, and pray. There are monks waiting to receive offerings. You can make merit and offer offerings to the monks for good luck in the new year. Conveniently accessible by MRT, get off at Samyan station. The exit is right in front of the temple. 📍Address: 728 Rama IV Rd, Khwaeng Si Phraya, Khet Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500

A large temple in the middle of the city that we can travel to 24 hours a day, whether by taxi, MRT, Samyan, or by bus that stops nearby. At the entrance of the temple, there are many food carts selling food. It can be said that after work, if you come to the temple, there are many things to eat. Inside the temple, there is almost no space left, but cars can still drive through even though it is a one-way street. Because inside the temple, there are many forms of making merit, starting from worshiping the Buddha, saving the lives of cows and buffaloes, donating candles, worshiping the relics of the Lord Buddha, making merit by donating coffins from Por Tek Tung, donating offerings to worship Rahu, warding off bad luck, extending fate, and many more that are selected for us to make merit according to our faith. In addition, you can also go up to worship the principal Buddha image in the chapel, which was built during the reigns of King Rama I - III for good luck in life. As for donating coffins, this is the highlight here because it is guaranteed that this money will be used to help with the funerals of the homeless 100%, unlike the group of people who like to walk around and urge us to donate coffins, but we don't know if the money will actually reach the recipients or not. There are not many steps. Start by writing a donation slip to show who you want to dedicate your merit to. Then, give the donation money to the staff. The staff will give you a slip to stick on the coffin model inside with homemade wet flour. Another thing that many people like to do is redeem the lives of cows and buffaloes. There will be a slip for you to write, but you can put the money in a metal donation box. After that, you can take food to feed the cows. Mostly, there will be dry grass, bananas, or sometimes morning glory, depending on the season. If anyone wants to redeem the lives of cows, I recommend this place. It's the most convenient. Overall, this temple is designed to meet the needs of city people who don't have time to make merit far away, but can easily share with fellow human beings. As for what should be improved, it should be the congestion that is packed so tightly together. And if there is a parking lot outside, it would be great because when there are a lot of cars coming in and out, it becomes very difficult./ #thailand #beautifultemplesinthailand #makemeritandworship

this is one of most beautiful temples I have never visited with this few tourists visiting. this is apparently not one of the touristy temples in the centre of Bangkok. yet the location is great right next to MRT, Siam centre and other iconic shopping malls that close to Chulalongkorn university. I have came here a couple of time to admire the beauty of this temple! it’s quite big and worth visiting

#celebratewithtrip Wat Hua Lamphong is so accessible as it is just beside MRT Sam Yan Station and is situated close to Hua Lamphong Station. More of a local temple than an overcrowded tourist attraction. You can make merit by putting money into the donation boxes and buying offerings for the monks. Apart from that, you can donate money for coffins. Many believe that by donating coffins, you will eliminate bad karma and bad energy. More practically, coffins are essential when we think about it. Everybody dies including the poor. Come here to experience the spritual side of the city. Wat Hua Lamphong is visited by locals and believers all day and all night. It's just fastinating to see such effort put for spiritual purpose nowadays.

#fallingforfall It is very easy to get there: Since Wat Hua Lumphong is strategically located in the center of Bangkok there are many ways to get there. The easiest way is to take the mass rapid transportation line to the station Sam Yan next to the Chulalongkorn University. From there you can walk within 5-10 minutes to the temple. The temple is not just one building. There are multiple buildings that are all beautifully designed with bright colors. In fron of the Wat Hua Lumphong there are many street vendors that sell traditional thai deserts and snacks. Make sire to cover your shoulders and knees when visiting

I was taking a walk in the neighbourhood and saw a really pretty Buddhist Temple. It’s name is Wat Hua Lamphong. When I stepped in, I heard familiar accents from fellow Singaporeans. Turns out this is a popular spot for Singaporeans to do coffin donations. There are also many different spots for people to pray at and overall a really nice place to just walk around and appreciate Thailand’s people and culture! Remember to cover up if you are coming here as at the end of the day it is a holy place. It is very easily accessible as there is an MRT station (Samyam)right outside it.

#bangkoktrips Best trip in Bangkok? As a fan of religious temples, ancient architecture, and authentic practices, my goal is to look for some of the BEST Wats in Bangkok! While Wat Hua Lumphong isn’t as touristy as the other main temples, it does not disappoint! It is located near Chamchuri Square, and is a popular opinion. It was truly serene escape for me… I found a peaceful corner to sit and reflect, and just observed the locals coming to pray and get surrounded by the calming presence of Buddha statues. Best part? The temple is 100% authentic and you will see more locals than tourists! So it is not just a place where you pay a ticket, do a tour and take some pictures. Instead, you will see authentic practices related to buddhism!

Walking through the bustling streets of Bangkok, I stepped into Wat Hua Lamphong, and the noisy city instantly quieted down. The temple attracts visitors with its unique serene atmosphere and elegant architecture. The golden stupa towers into the sky, symbolizing the loftiness and eternity of faith, while the eaves of the Buddha hall are gracefully curved, adorned with intricate carvings and colorful tiles, adding a touch of sacred aura to the tranquil space. Inside the temple, devotees sincerely light incense, praying for peace and wisdom. The Buddha statue sits benevolently, seemingly observing the myriad of worldly affairs, yet always comforting everyone with a warm gaze. I sat quietly in the Buddha hall, feeling this profound tranquility, and the troubles in my heart seemed to dissipate with the wisps of incense smoke. As I walked out of the temple, the afterglow of the sunset cast a gentle light on the golden top of Wat Hua Lamphong, as if covering this ancient Buddhist temple with a layer of tenderness. This tranquility and peace will become an unforgettable memory in my heart.

The incense-promoting Hualan Peng Temple Wat Hua Lamphong Hualan Peng Temple is very close to the hotel we stay in and passes by every day. Originally, it was not in the itinerary plan, but if the incense is so strong and so many people are worshipping, lets take a look. The main body of the temple is on a slightly elevated platform, although not large, but the building is still very beautiful. There are many booths below to buy incense, wishing lights and other items. Many believers are here to ask for Buddha cards and water lamps.
