ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
Wat Chana Songkhram or fully Wat Chana Songkhram Rachawora Mahawiharn is a royal temple and monastery, located almost right next to Khao San Road tourist street. It was founded at a time when Bangkok was not yet the capital, and was originally called Wat Klang Na, which means "temple in the middle of a rice field," which it was then. Its current name can be translated roughly as "victorious". He received it in honor of three great victories over the Burmese in 1785-1787.
The area of the temple and monastery is simply huge, it is almost the largest in the center of Bangkok, second only to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. But most of it is occupied by monastic buildings that are not particularly interesting to tourists. Nevertheless, it is worth a visit if you want to observe the serene and peaceful life of the monks in the heart of the bustling city. If you do not interfere, you will be able to see how they pray, accept offerings, do their daily household chores.
