Wat Benjamabophit (Marble Temple)

Wat Benjamabophit (Marble Temple) Review

This is a favorite with photographers because of its open spaces and light, shining marble. The wat was built in 1899, statues of the Buddha line the courtyard, and the magnificent interior has crossbeams of lacquer and gold. But Wat Benjamabophit is more than a splendid temple—the monastery is a seat of learning that appeals to Buddhist monks with intellectual yearnings.
