Just down the road from our place is Wat boromracha. Last time we went I took a camera.

The temple occupies 12 rai of land and was built to commemorate the kings reign of 50 years. The construction took 12 years on a lavish budget. On March 20th 2008 the king named the new temple ' Wat Boromracha Kanchanapisek Anusorn '.
The temple is built in Ming - Ching architectural style copied from the Forbidden City in Beijing with much of the craftmanship coming directly from China.

The temple is in Bang Bua Tong and can be reached by bus from The Mall on Ngam Wong Wahn road. Bus no 134 ( non air ) should be o.k. but check first. Plenty of eateries for snacks in front of the temple.
