" LOvE" Wat Benchamabophit (Marble Temple) :-) ^__^

Welcome to Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram (Thai: วัดเบญจมบพิตรดุสิตวนารามราชวรวิหาร). It is a buddhist temple (wat) in the Dusit district of Bangkok, Thailand. Also known as the marble temple, it is one of Bangkok's most beautiful temples and a major tourist attraction. Although It is very near my university but I just had a chance to visit it today. I would say it is indeed gorgeous. I was so impressed :-).

 

Construction of the temple began in 1899 at the request of King Chulalongkorn after building his palace nearby. The temple's name literally means the Temple of the fifth King located nearby Dusit Palace.

 

This shot is the Ordination Hall (Ubosot). It was constructed from Carrara marble from Italy and showing distinct European neo-classical influence. It was designed by H.R.H. Prince Narisranuvattivongse, half brother to King Chulalongkorn, Rama V, and has been reckoned for its architectural and decorative arts of finest Thai craftsmanship, say, second to none in the world. It attracts the interest of tourists throughout the world to come to visit in large numbers each year :-)..Hope you enjoy and like it :-)..

 

Have a sweet day. Take a rest and keep smiling :-).. Have you sweet smiled today :-)?
