Wat Suan Phlu, Bangkok, Thailand
วัดสวนพลู
<Back^Thailand>Bangkok^Next>
|
Wat Suan Phlu is a small temple near the Shangri-La Hotel. It is a
relatively authentic example of a Thai-Chinese temple in the heart of
Bangkok. All of the buildings except the Ubosot are made of wood.
The Ubosot is rather unique in its decorations, in that there is a
noticeable absence of gold and the use of blue glass tiles instead.
The gables are decorated with a veritable profusion of Asparas (Angels) and
Naga (hooded snake) figures. The wall surrounding the Ubosot is a
series of beautifully painted panels that show various mythical settings.
