The marble temple was built by order of King Rama V and completed in 1899. It is very famous because its chapel (bot), its pillars and its statues of lion keepers, are entirely made of white marble from Carrara (Italy). The bot's entrance is guarded by two Khmer style lions. Inside is a bronze replica (2.5 tons) of the Phutta Chinarat Buddha of Wat Phra Sri Ratana Mahatat of Phitsanulok. In its base are preserved the ashes of Rama V.

Et le temple, et les jardins sont beaux ! par contre, quartier beaucoup moins touristique que d'autres, penser à négocier l'aller-retour en touk touk, afin que votre chauffeur patiente le temps de votre visite. (déc 2014)
