Wat Pathum Wanaram Rachaworawihan

Wat Pathum Wanaram Rachaworawihan is a Buddhist temple at 969 Rama I Road, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330. The government tourism directory and selected map identify this temple, and the temple’s map-linked Facebook page carries the same Thai name. The original mapped point is retained as an orientation marker within the temple setting, rather than a surveyed entrance or complete site boundary. The government tourism directory traces the temple’s origins to King Mongkut, Rama IV, and the development of nearby Sra Pathum Palace and lotus ponds. It records the local names Wat Sra Pathum and Wat Sa. The Thai historical account associates its founding with Queen Debsirindra. The directory describes an ordination hall, a larger worship hall and a bell-shaped principal chedi. It names the revered Buddha images Phra Sai, Phra Saen and Phra Serm. These are historical and architectural points of interest, not a guarantee that every hall or image is accessible during a visit. The site remains a place of worship and Dharma practice; follow current temple signs and staff directions, avoid interrupting ceremonies and ask before photographing worshippers or restricted interiors. The selected map and Trip.com give daily 08:00–17:00. A current temple-issued visiting and ceremony timetable was not established. Confirm access to individual halls, holiday and ceremony changes, and any meditation participation directly. No current course, language support, booking or monastic-accommodation arrangement is promised here. The map publishes 02 251 6478; the government directory gives 02 251 6469, and Trip.com lists both. Their current roles are unconfirmed. The map-linked temple Facebook page is provided for enquiries; no separate official website or email was established. Trip.com describes general entry as free, but a current temple-issued fee or special-activity policy was not confirmed. Ask about access assistance and any parking or activity conditions directly. The photograph is an interior Buddha-image view from Trip.com’s gallery for this exact temple. Photographer and capture date are unstated. It illustrates the published temple setting without confirming current hall access, display arrangements, ceremonies or a particular statue’s identity.
