Wat Suthat Thepphawararam is a royal temple in Bangkok, Thailand. It is a royal temple of the first grade, one of ten such temples in Bangkok. There are 23 in the whole of Thailand. Construction was begun by King Rama I in 1807. Further construction and decorations were carried out by King Rama II, who also assisted, but the temple was not completed until the reign of King Rama III in 1847. This temple contains the Buddha statue Phra Sri Sakyamuni, which was moved from a temple in Sukhothai province. Sukhothai was the capital of the first kingdom of Siam in the 13th and 15th centuries. Twenty-eight Chinese pagodas are placed on the lower terrace of the base, signifying the twenty-eight Buddhas born on this earth. In 2005, the temple was submitted to UNESCO for consideration as an addition to the World Heritage List. The viharn of Wat Suthat is one of the oldest surviving buildings from the Rattanakosin era. It contains the main Buddha statue of the Wat. The Phra Si Sakyamuni is an eight meter high bronze Buddha statue. The temple is beautiful and is not inferior to the Grand Palace. The big advantage that you can take pictures inside and it is wonderfully quiet.

The temple complex officially called Wat Suthat Thepphawararam is one of the largest in Bangkok and covers 10 hectares. The viharn of Wat Suthat is one of the oldest surviving buildings from the Rattanakosin era. It contains the main Buddha statue of the Wat. There is an 800 year old Sukhothai Buddha statue standing 8 meters high in a demure Mara pose. It was cast in Sukhothai some 800 years ago and was brought to Bangkok by riverboat from an abandoned temple in Sukhothai. The Phra Si Sakyamuni is an eight meter high bronze Buddha statue.

Wat Suthat Thepphawararam is een koninklijke tempel in Bangkok, Thailand. Het is één van de tien eerste graadstempels in Bangkok. In heel Thailand zijn het er 23. De bouw werd begonnen door Koning Rama I in 1807. Verdere bouw en versieringen werden uitgevoerd door koning Rama II, die ook zelf heeft geholpen, maar de tempel werd pas voltooid tijdens het bewind van koning Rama III in 1847. Deze tempel bevat het Boeddhabeeld Phra Sri Sakyamuni, die werd verplaatst van uit een tempel in de provincie Sukhothai. Sukhothai was de hoofdstad van het eerste koninkrijk Siam in de 13e en 15e eeuw. Op het onderste terras van de basis zijn achtentwintig Chinese pagodes geplaatst, die de achtentwintig geboren Boeddha's op deze aarde betekenen. In 2005 werd de tempel voorgelegd aan de UNESCO ter overweging als toevoeging aan de Werelderfgoedlijst. De viharn van de Wat Suthat is één van de oudste nog bestaande gebouwen uit het Rattanakosin-tijdperk. Het bevat het belangrijkste Boeddhabeeld van de Wat. Er staat een 800 jaar oud bronzen Sukhothai Boeddhabeeld van 8 meter hoog in een ingetogen Mara-houding. Het werd zo'n 800 jaar geleden in Sukhothai gegoten en werd per rivierboot vanuit een verlaten tempel in Sukhothai naar Bangkok gebracht. De tempel is prachtig en doet niet onder aan de Grand Palace. Het grote voordeel dat je hier wel binnen mag fotograferen en heerlijk rustig is.
