Wat Ratchanatdaram Woravihara (Loha Prasat)
Wat Ratchanatdaram Woravihara, commonly known as Loha Prasat, is a remarkable Buddhist temple located in the heart of Bangkok. The temple is famous for its striking multi-tiered structure, which resembles a castle. Loha Prasat, or "Metal Palace," is the only one of its kind in the world. The temple features 37 spires, each symbolizing the 37 virtues that lead to enlightenment in Buddhism. This architectural wonder is not only a spiritual site but also a fascinating work of art, offering visitors a glimpse into both Thai culture and history.

Things to Know Before You Go
Before visiting, remember that modest attire is required when entering the temple—cover your shoulders and knees. Photography is allowed, but be respectful of the sacred environment. You can climb to the top of Loha Prasat for a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding area, including nearby attractions like the Golden Mount (Wat Saket). There are also small shops nearby where you can buy religious souvenirs.
How to Get There
Wat Ratchanatdaram is easily accessible by taxi, tuk-tuk, or public transport. The closest BTS station is Ratchathewi, about a 15-minute walk away, or you can take the MRT to Sam Yot Station, which is even closer. If you're already in the historic district, you can also take a short boat ride along the Chao Phraya River to the nearest pier and walk to the temple from there.
When to Get There
The best time to visit is early in the morning when the temple is quieter and the weather is cooler. The temple offers a serene atmosphere, perfect for reflection and relaxation. Visiting in the morning also means fewer crowds, allowing you to explore the site without distractions. Sunset is another beautiful time to visit, as you can catch the golden light reflecting off the spires.
Day Trips from Bangkok
Wat Ratchanatdaram is located near several other notable attractions, making it ideal to combine with other sites in the area. After visiting Loha Prasat, consider stopping by the nearby Golden Mount (Wat Saket), where you can climb to the top for a panoramic view of Bangkok. The famous Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) and the Grand Palace are also nearby, offering a full day of cultural exploration within the heart of Bangkok.
