Highlights

Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple) - TEMPLE OF MARBLE
Wat Benchamabopit Dusitwanaram (Wat Ben), or Marble Temple, built with Carrara marble, is located near the Government Palace and the equestrian statue of King Rama IV. It is an ancient temple during the Ayutthaya period, originally called Wat Laem or Wat Saithong. During the reign of King Rama IV, the temple was restored by five princes and renamed Wat Bejamabopit (five princes). In 1899, King Rama V had the temple completely rebuilt and gave him the name of Wat Benjamabopit Dusitwanaram, which means the Temple of the Fifth King. He placed Prince Narissaranuwatti, a leader in design and construction.
