Wat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaram Ratchawora ViharaThe temple was known as ‘Wat Laem’ or “Wat Saithong’. After Rama V decided to build Dusit palace, he ordered the temple to be renovated to be the palace’s main Buddhist site. The renovation was planned by Prince Narit which makes it one of best-planned temples in Thailand.

The temple is commonly known among tourists as ‘the Marble Temple’ due to its white Carrara marble ordination hall. The ubosot is regarded as ‘the perfect form of Thai architecture’ as well as the whole site of the temple. It attracts tourists both Thai and foreigners. The ordination hall also houses the full-size replica of Phra Phuttha Shinnarat.
