If you are looking for a place to make merit and admire the beauty of peaceful architecture in Thonburi, "sookjai holiday" recommends Wat Phichai Yat Warawihan, or what the locals call Wat Phichai Yat. This temple is located in the Khlong San district, near the foot of the Memorial Bridge and Phra Pok Klao Bridge. It is a second-class royal temple with a long history and unique artistic features in Bangkok. It is considered one of the most beautiful temples.
Wat Phichai Yat was built during the reign of King Rama III by Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Phichai Yat (That Bunnag). The highlight that impresses everyone is the elegant Thai-style white pagoda. The ubosot itself is special in that it was built according to the royal fashion of that era, with no chofah, bai raka, or hang hong, but decorated with glazed tiles and Chinese patterns, reflecting a harmonious and valuable blend of cultures.
When you walk inside the ubosot, you will find Phra Siddhartha, or what the locals call "Luang Pho Sompratthana", which is an ancient Sukhothai-style Buddha image that was brought from Phitsanulok. The atmosphere inside the temple is shady and peaceful, perfect for sitting in meditation or walking around to see the stucco details that decorate the various viharns. There is also a replica of the Buddha's footprint for Buddhists to pay respect to for good fortune on holidays.
Visiting Wat Phichai Yat Warawihan is not just about worshiping and asking for blessings, but also about opening your eyes to the beauty of high art in the early Rattanakosin period that has been well preserved. Anyone who likes to walk around and see ancient temples in the Khlong San area must try to pin this place. I guarantee that you will be happy and relaxed. See you again with good travel coordinates from "sookjai holiday".
