If we talk about the most outstanding and unique Buddhist architecture in the world, we must give it to "Loha Prasat" at Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan. Located at the foot of Phan Fa Lilat Bridge, Ratchadamnoen Klang Road, which King Rama III ordered to be built, modeled after the metal castles in the past of India and Sri Lanka. But now there is only one left in Thailand that still maintains its completeness and magnificent beauty for us to admire.
This Loha Prasat is up to 7 stories high, decorated with a total of 37 spires, which represent the "37 Bodhipakkhiyadhamma" in Dhamma. The current atmosphere after the renovation has changed from a solid black top to a golden color. It makes this temple look brighter and more powerful. Especially when the sunlight hits the spires, it creates a beautiful image that has become a popular destination for both merit-makers and photographers who want to record the exquisite beauty of Thai art.
When entering the building, visitors will experience the tranquility through the maze-like corridors designed for meditation and can walk up the spiral staircase to the top floor to pay respects to the "Buddha's relics" and admire the high-angle view of Rattanakosin Island, where you can clearly see the Golden Mount and Pom Mahakan. It is a great way to fill up positive energy and happiness on your holiday.
Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan is open for visits every day. It is a very suitable place for walking, connecting from the Lan Luang and Phu Khao Thong areas. If you want to experience the greatness of a living world heritage, checking in at this Loha Prasat will definitely make you fall in love with the charm of Bangkok even more.
