ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
Wat Ratchaburana Ratchaworawiharn or Wat Liap Temple is a fairly large temple complex in the center of Bangkok near Chinatown and flower market. It does not stand out in any special way, except for an unusual green stupa in the Khmer architectural style, i.e. in the form of a corn cob. Another notable feature of it is the internal painting of the hands of a monk and a talented artist named Krua In Khong.
The temple was built by an influential Chinese merchant in 1793 with the approval of King Rama I to store 162 important Buddha statues. During the Second World War, the temple was almost completely destroyed and even removed from the list of official royal temples, but in 1960 it was restored again.
