  • The Ubosot Hall (Bot or Ordination Hall) was designed by Prince Naris, a great Thai artist and son of King Mongkut (Rama IV), and built of Italian marble during the reign of King Rama V.It was constructed from Carrara marble from Italy and showing distinct European neo-classical influence.

    The best time to visit this temple is early in the morning when Buddhist monks are chanting inside the chapel. The main building is open to visitors until 5.00 pm
