I had visited this beautiful Temple dedicated to Lord Buddha during my stay in Novotel Bangkok Silom Road Hotel during my Bangkok trip. The temple has 3 pagoda style towers. Inside the temple there is a ac hall with many idols depicting old age where devotees had offered donations in cash.

Beautiful temple with younger monks. We stayed about 15-20 min as we walked in lit the incense prayed took some pics and left. The rooftops are stunning and exceptional. Worth a quick visit if you are nearby!

It is located near the Saphan Taksin station and free to enter. It is a little different to other temples because the shape is a Chinese junk. The ambience is tranquil and not crowded.

We were in the neighbourhood and had a fantastic meal at the nearby restaurant called full fill restaurant (a local thai restaurant no tourist in sight). It was Makha Bucha Day so we took a wonder into the temple. It was full of locals lighting candles and putting dien flowers. It was such a lovely atmosphere and a stunning temple.

The main attraction of this place should be the Chinese junk-shaped prayer hall within the premises... If you ascend that hall, you would get a pretty decent view of the surrounding...

This temple is located near to the Chao Phraya river, we come across this temple by surprise but however it is very near to BTS Saphan Taksin so getting here from the BTS station won't hurt your leg, if you not sure which direction to go, please ask the local and you will be guided accordingly. When you come across a huge red gate then you know you are there already.
This temple is a relatively large temple, take your time and slowly explore and you be amazed at the number of Buddha statute it house here. Do pay your respect by burning prayer stick to these Buddha, is a must do when you visit a Thai temple, however do aware that there are one location where photographing is not allowed at all but you are free to go in and visit. Tried to ask for the reason, but i was told that the room houses too many Buddha statute and is holy, so it is prohibited to take photo in that room, other part of the temple is definitely fine. The white Guan Yin statute and the God of fortune Statute is in the open air and traveler can pay their respect to them before exploring further inside the temple, there is no entrance fee on this temple.
Extra note: Before you reach the temple main gate, you should be able to see one Thai restaurant on your right hand side. You may drop by and visit, their traditional Thai food is nice and priced reasonably, good place to rest after a tiring walk as it is air-conditioned.

So, my friend who lives in Bangkok attends this temple so I got a first hand view of it today. There is a boat shaped building but it is NOT the temple. It strictly a physical metaphor that is associated with prosperity. We went into the main temple and I got to meet and talk with a monk about the tenets of Buddhism. I am enclosing a picture of where we met with him. There are several other areas that were very interesting that involved monks that do NOT teach but are important to their religion. I also bought a pretty cool amulet of Buddha in a beautiful 14 carat gold case. I am wearing it now as I type this review. Cool place but certainly not a "must see" when in Bangkok

The temple is the old temple which has one of temple building designed in boat shapes. This signature building was the reference of the temple named as Wat Yannawa. This boat temple building were located in the middle of the temple area.
Another signature of This temple is the building which keep the holy relic of the Buddha. The tourist especially Chinese tourists visit and pray here.
The temple is located by the river. So you can walk to release to fishes and water animals into the river as one of good deed activity for Buddhism.
Besides visiting here for sightseeing or merit making, you can also come here for meditation session which open for outsiders with free of charge
This temple is easily reachable by walk from BTS-Taksin, by taxi or even by personal car since there's parking inside the temple.
In front of temple has Thai massage building as well as Chinese needle meditation. The therapists and doctors are certified and reliable.
There's also Thai restaurant next to massage building area.

The temple is not build for the beauty but the teaching behind that the ancestors want to teach us. Me as a monk who live here, don't understand what is it really important, the beauty or the knowledge. Each picture or living style of the monk is trying to tell people to lead a simple life. Thus observers the way of beauty and the way of monk life is totally a contrast. Therefore the way to enjoy visit this is to understand the meaning behind the life of the person who live here.

Better known as "the boat temple" to visitors this place of worship lies along the water and makes good use of its space with grounds to walk and see at all angles. Founded during the Ayutthaya era there is less interior here than the facade suggest, but worth a look if nearby.
