Great temple that gets overshadowed by it’s more famous neighborhoods. I had a great meditation on the ground floor. Very quiet and not busy when I visited.

They allowed full access to the temple. I climbed to the 4th floor the energy on the floor made the hair on my arms stand up it was amazing. The view from the top is great as well.

This was one of my favorite temples in Bangkok

This Royal Pavilion is open for public with very impressive structures and details of the building. It isn't far from democracy monument. Better bring an umbrella and water coz the place is really Instagram worthy.

Totally Fabulous. The highlight is the wonderful "Loha Prasat", this structure just blew me away. It is now the only remaining building in the World of this design with the Original one in India and the second in Sri Lanka destroyed. It's construction dates back to King Rama III, 1846. I love it's symmetry and the internal design of crisscross corridors and open passage ways between each tier. Do be sure to take the central spiral teak stairs all the way to the top where you get great views of the whole Temple site and modern Bangkok skyline. The rest of the Temple buildings are good, but the Loha Prasat is truly exceptional and a joy to visit. I had the place almost to myself when I visited.

One of the most interesting temples in Bangkok. Loha Prasat is not far from Khao San road, so is very easy to get there just walking 5 minutes.

In busy Bangkok, one of the hidden gems. Most people go the the Golden Mount and pass this one by. I just love the shaded archways and the quiet pace.
