Wat Rajbopit

South of Wat Suthat is the impressive Wat Rajbopit, built in the reign of King Rama V (1868-1910 A.D.) Its most striking features are the 5-colour porcelain mosaics encrusted in the main stupa. The architecture of the main chapel is in Thai-style, while its interior decorations reflect a European influence with some Gothic details. Visitors will particularly be impressed with the delicate mother-of-pearl inlays and the exquisite basreliefs on the window and door panels of the main chapel. The temple is open daily from 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. Admission is free.
