If you're bored with traditional Thai temples, today "sookjai holiday" will take everyone to experience the Unseen in Khlong San at Wat Thong Nopphakhun. This third-class royal temple is distinguished by its unique and distinctive Buddhist art, located on Somdet Chao Phraya Road. It is a must-see for architecture photographers and art lovers, as it has a charm that is hard to find in other temples in Bangkok.
The main highlight that makes Wat Thong Nopphakhun famous is the Ubosot, which was extensively renovated during the reign of King Rama III. The uniqueness lies in the round windows, also known as porthole windows, which resemble the windows of a junk ship or a mix of Western and Chinese architecture. The windows are decorated with delicate stucco patterns, making it a popular spot for people to stop and take photos with this perfect novelty, which reflects the creativity of Thai craftsmen in the past.
When you step inside the Ubosot, you will find equally beautiful and valuable mural paintings, especially the painting behind the main Buddha image, which is a picture of a curtain being drawn open, making it look three-dimensional and realistic as if we are looking through the curtain at the Buddha image. There are also doors decorated with exquisite mother-of-pearl inlay. The atmosphere inside is quiet and peaceful, perfect for meditation or admiring the masterpieces that are hard to find in the present era.
If you want to change the atmosphere and take a walk to enjoy the breeze on the Thonburi side this holiday, "sookjai holiday" recommends that you try to visit Wat Thong Nopphakhun. You will find peace and inspiration from timeless art, conveniently located near delicious food in the Tha Din Daeng area. I guarantee it will be a day that will fill you with both merit and joy. See you again at the next location with us.
