If you are looking for a place to rest your body and mind on a holiday filled with magic and history, "Wat Rakhang Kositaram Woramahawihan" in the Thonburi area is a destination not to be missed. In addition to the resounding bells that symbolize its fame, the highlight that art and history enthusiasts must see is the "Tripitaka Hall" or Chan Palace, which was originally the residence of King Buddha Yodfa Chulalok Maharaj. Inside, there are exquisite mural paintings by Ajarn Nak, a master painter who vividly conveyed the stories of the Buddha's history and the way of life of people in the past. It is considered one of the most beautiful cultural heritages in Rattanakosin.
In addition to admiring the beauty of Buddhist art, Wat Rakhang is also a suitable place for practicing meditation and Vipassana according to the teachings of Somdej Phra Phuttajarn (To Prommarangsi), the former abbot who is revered by Thai people. The atmosphere inside the Viharn of Somdej To and the surrounding area is peaceful and cool from the wind blowing from the Chao Phraya River. Sitting in meditation or chanting the Chinnabanchorn mantra amidst this sacred atmosphere will help to purify the mind, calm down, and find true happiness from spiritual relaxation with sookjai Weekend, which is a rare experience amidst the hustle and bustle of the capital.
At the waterfront, you can buy food for the large flock of pigeons. It's a fun activity between people and pigeons.
End your holiday trip with a stroll along the waterfront, enjoying the cool breeze and admiring the beautiful scenery of the Grand Palace on the other side of the water. Visiting Wat Rakhang Kositaram is more than just a general trip, but it is about recharging with positive energy by admiring valuable Buddhist art and creating meditation to start a new week mindfully. If you don't have any plans for this holiday, try taking a ferry to experience the happiness at Wat Rakhang. I guarantee that it will be a day that is both fulfilling and satisfying with sookjai Weekend.
