Wat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaram, also known as the Marble Temple, is one of the most beautiful temples in Bangkok, Thailand. It is located in the Dusit area and was built in 1899 by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). The temple is famous for its white marble, which was brought all the way from Italy. The marble gives the temple a shiny and royal look.
The main hall, called the ubosot, has a large golden Buddha statue in the Sukhothai style. This statue is very peaceful and beautiful. Underneath the statue are the ashes of King Rama V, which makes the temple an important historical place too.
One of the most interesting things here is the walkway around the main hall, which displays 52 different Buddha statues. These statues show different poses and styles of Buddha from all over Thailand. It’s a great place to learn about Thai culture and Buddhism.
The temple is very clean and quiet, perfect if you want to take a break from the busy city. You can also see monks doing their daily routines, especially in the morning.
The entrance fee is 50 Baht for adults and free for small children. If you’re in Bangkok, don’t miss this peaceful and beautiful temple.
