::Wat Pathum Wanaram is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand. It is located in the district Pathum Wan, between the two shopping malls Siam Paragon and Central World, and across the street of Siam Square. The temple was founded in 1857 by King Mongkut (Rama IV) as a place of worship near his Sa Pathum Palace. At the time of its founding the area was still only rice fields, only accessible via the Khlong Saen Saeb. The temple is a third class royal temple of the Thammayut Nikaya order. The full name of the temple is Wat Pathum Wanaram Ratcha Wora Viharn The ashes of Thai Royal Family members in the line of Prince Mahidol Adulyadej are interred at the temple. Among the various buildings of the temple is a sala partially reconstructed from the crematorium of the late Princess Mother of Thailand. The crematorium was a rare example of ancient craftsmanship featuring ornate stencils and lacquered sculptures. Known in Thai as phra men, it represents Mount Meru, the heavenly abode of the gods. Set in the midst of Bangkok's biggest shopping area is the strangely serene temple of Wat Pathum Wanaram. Its a sort of multi-layered temple that only reveals all its sights bit by bit. The large pagoda between the ordination hall and the chapel Just inside the high outer wall of the temple is a large pond and parking area that acts as a buffer between the street and the temple, helping to create the quiet serenity of the temple. Passing through the gates in a second wall brings you into the temple compound proper. The temple buildings are arranged in a row parallel to the street. A small elegant ubosot sits at the eastern end. Behind it is a large white chedi, followed by the very large wiharn. Finally is an ancient Bo tree housed in a courtyard. Behind this main line of buildings is a library. Another wall separates the main temple compound from the monks' quarters. Behind the monks' quarters, and actually separate from the temple, is a sort of park thickly planed with trees. In the middle of this is a large open sided prayer hall dedicated to the memory of the late Princess Mother, who lived near the temple in Sra Pathum Palace. Next to the hall is a paved plaza also densely planted with trees. Wat Pathum Wanaram ( Lotus Temple ) is a royal temple of the third class near Siam Paragon shopping mall in central Bangkok. The temple was originally constructed on the site of Sra Pathum Palace, a residence of King Rama IV surrounded by lotus ponds. Built in honour of Queen Thepsirintra and completed in 1857, the king named the temple Pathumwanaram. It is also called Wat Sra Pathum or Wat Sra. In 1972, a fire destroyed the murals in the ordination hall (ubosot) and they were subsequently replaced. A major renovation of the temple was completed late in 2011. On May 19, 2010, during the government's crackdown on red-shirt protesters, six civilians were shot dead in the grounds of Wat Pathum, apparently from the elevated sky Train track above the main road. It has not yet been established exactly who did the shooting.

::A quiet and lovely place for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. In the back of the temple complex there is a lovely, tree lined area with a meditation hall. When I went, there was an English speaking monk who was eager to tell me about the temple and offer support in my practice. I recommend this temple for anyone who needs a quiet place to reflect and take a break. It's amazing that this place is in the heart of Bangkok!

::Very beautiful Thai Buddhist temple right near the metro station and the shopping mall. Not very large but very much worth a visit. Not very crowded, which is good for a relaxed visit. Easy access from the nearby mall and the train station. The insides of the temple are very well decorated and maintained. Essence of Buddhism is reflected in this place.
