Wat Benchamabophit
 This unique temple is located on
Sri Ayutthaya Road near Chitrlada Palace, the official residence
of the present monarch and his family. Know as the Marble temple
because it is made mostly from Carrera marble, this temple was
built in 1899 by King Rama V and is today one of the finest examples
of Thai architecture.
The temple's interior is magnificently
decorated with crossbeams of lacquer and gold, and a large collection
of bronze Buddhines lije the walls of the spacious inner courtyard.
The best time to visit Wat Benchamabophit is in the early morning
when the monks who reside in the temple are most active.
