Wat Rakhang Khositaram Worawihan is an old second-class royal temple that has been with Bangkok for a long time. It is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, not far from Siriraj Hospital.

Start the first day of 2566 at Wat Rakhang Khositaram Worawihan. The temple is located on the bank of the Chao Phraya River in Siriraj Subdistrict, Bang Khun Non District. The ancient temple was built since the Ayutthaya period. It is a second-class royal temple of the Worawihan type. During the reign of King Rama I, he restored the temple and dug up a bell, which he ordered to be placed at Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram. He made 5 bells to compensate for Wat Bang Wa Yai. After that, he gave the temple a new name, "Wat Rakhang Khositaram". Inside the beautiful ordination hall, there is the enshrined Luang Pho Yim Rap Fa, the principal Buddha image. There is a white prang and in the area along the river, there is a large image of Somdej Phutthachan To. In the temple, there are offerings in sets of 100, 200 and 300 baht, as well as flowers, garlands, incense and candles for people to make merit. Travel 🚤 Take a ferry at Tha Chang, which is near Wat Phra Kaew. To cross the Chao Phraya River, get off at Wat Rakhang Pier. 🚗 There is a private parking lot. There are many places to choose from (we parked at Soi Arun Amarin 20, 30 baht for the first hour, 20 baht for the next hour) called A20Park. If anyone comes to walk around Wang Lang, you can stop by to make merit, worship Buddha, walk through each other not too far. As for us, we stopped by Wang Lang Market by walking from Wang Lang Pier south until we reached the temple. On the day we went at around 15.00, there were a lot of people at the temple, probably because it was a holiday and New Year's Day. So it was quite difficult to find a good angle to take pictures. I recommend coming on a weekday or on a holiday in the morning. There should be fewer people. Open for visits from 07.00-18.00 hrs. #Wat Rakhang

In front of the Buddha image are the statues of 3 disciples, sitting with their hands together as if receiving a sermon from the Buddha.

Or anyone can take the Chao Phraya Express Boat At the pier, we will see a lot of people feeding fish and pigeons. Okay, let's go inside. Inside Wat Rakhang, there is a beautiful chapel. It is the style of King Rama I, enshrined Luang Por Yim Rab Fah as the principal Buddha image. It is a bronze Buddha image in meditation. This principal Buddha image was regarded as very beautiful. In addition, inside the chapel, there are mural paintings with various stories of the Buddha. It is a painting that has been regarded as very beautiful craftsmanship.

When talking about Somdej To, I believe that there is no Thai person who does not know him. With the chant “Chayasanakata Phuttachetawamarang…” which has been sacred in many eras until today, he was once the abbot of Wat Rakhang during the reign of King Rama V. And the amulet “Phra Somdej” that Somdej To created is considered another top sacred object. This makes this temple famous and has magic. Whenever you come to worship and ask for blessings, you must stop by Phra Wihan Somdej to chant in front of him for good fortune. This temple has been around since the Ayutthaya period. It was called Wat Bang Wa Yai and later changed its name to Wat Rakhang because a bell was found in this temple. It is a very melodious bell. King Rama I ordered it to be moved to Wat Phra Kaew, which is located across the Chao Phraya River. The chapel is also no less beautiful. There is a Buddha statue in the chapel that King Rama V named “Phra Buddha Yim Rap Fa” from its beautiful face. In addition, the mural paintings inside the chapel by a master painter during the reign of King Rama VI painted the back of the Buddha statue. It is said that Phra Malai went up to pay homage to Phra Maha Chulamani in the Daowadungsa heaven. The front image of the principal Buddha image is the image of the Lord Buddha descending from the Daowadungsa heaven and the image of a charioteer challenging the Lord Buddha to compete in halo. When looking at the side walls, the upper part is an image of a gathering of gods and the lower part tells of the Ten Lives of the Buddha, which is extremely beautiful. You can travel by car or boat from Tha Chang.

Wat Rakhang Khositaram Woramahawihan is located in Siriraj Subdistrict, Bangkok Noi District, Bangkok. This ancient temple was built during the Ayutthaya period and was originally named Wat Bang Wa Yai. If you visit, don't forget to ring the bell at the temple.

In the early morning, Lumphini Park in Bangkok feels like a poem imbued with the scent of morning dew. Sunlight pierces through the swaying tree shadows, casting a serene glow on the winding paths, evoking a sense of peace and simplicity. Walking through the dense greenery, the sounds of birds chirping and the gentle rustle of the breeze temporarily make one forget the city's hustle and bustle, as if stepping into a tranquil oasis. The lake's surface mirrors the scattered white clouds and the tropical plants along the shore. Occasionally, people can be seen rowing boats, creating gentle ripples that still maintain the harmony of the scene. Local residents exercising in the morning are either jogging or practicing Tai Chi, each embracing the freshness in their own way. The most delightful surprise for me was the sight of the leisurely monitor lizards on the lawns, adding an exotic touch to this urban oasis. Lumphini Park is not just a natural sanctuary but also a haven for relaxation. Every step here seems to reclaim a sense of inner tranquility and freedom.

Wat Rakhang in Bangkok stands quietly in a bustling corner of the city, like a sanctuary away from the noise. Upon entering the temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the majestic stupa, gleaming gold and shining against the blue sky. The exquisite reliefs around tell Buddhist stories, with each detail seemingly imbued with profound wisdom and rich history. The spacious Buddha hall inside the temple is solemn and dignified, with flowers and candles offered by devotees placed in front of the Buddha statue. The air is filled with the subtle fragrance of sandalwood. I knelt quietly, hands clasped, feeling an indescribable peace and tranquility within. Looking up at the Buddha statue, its serene expression seemed to tell me that the wisdom of life comes from inner peace and acceptance. Strolling through the temple courtyard, sunlight filters through the lush tree shadows, and the faint sound of chanting can be heard. This temple is not just a building but a place to purify the soul. As I bid farewell, I left with a heart full of emotion and blessings, looking forward to experiencing this majesty and serenity again.

Both sides of the Chao Phraya River are home to many important historical sites, such as Wat Arun, Wat Phra Kaew, and Wat Rakhang Kositaram. Taking a boat trip is another great option. You can stop and visit various piers, including Wang Lang Pier, Phra Chan Pier, Maharaj Pier, Phra Arthit Pier, and Tha Chang Pier, each offering unique attractions.

This temple is an old temple built during the Ayutthaya period. Originally named Wat Bang Wa Yai, during the Thonburi period, King Taksin of Thonburi built a palace near Wat Bang Wa Yai and elevated it to a royal temple and the residence of the Supreme Patriarch. During the Rattanakosin period, under the reign of King Rama I, Wat Bang Wa Yai was under the patronage of the royal family of Wang Lang, specifically Princess Thepsuthavadi (Sa), the elder sister of King Rama I and the mother of the Prince of Boworn Sathan Phimuk. She had a residence next to the temple and, together with King Rama I, restored the temple. During the restoration, a bell was discovered, which was moved to Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram, and five replacement bells were made for Wat Bang Wa Yai. The temple was then renamed 'Wat Rakhang Khositaram' to commemorate the discovery of the bell and to revive the tradition from the Ayutthaya period when there was also a temple named Wat Rakhang. During the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV), the temple's name was changed to 'Wat Ratchakhandiyaram' (Khandi means bell), but this name was not popularly used, and it continued to be called Wat Rakhang.
