[2025 Bangkok Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Intharawihan (Updated Mar)

Wat Intharawihan or Wat Luang Pho To is a famous temple in Bangkok and a place to pray for blessings from sacred objects. Wat Intharawihan is the holy water well of "Somdet Phra Phutthachan (To Phrommarangsi)" or "Somdet To". He was a famous monk in the Rattanakosin period. Before he became the abbot of Wat Rakhang Khositaram Worawihan, he lived at this temple. The holy water well he built came from the power of the Buddha to make his own holy water. #beautifultemple

Wat Intharawihan Royal Monastery or commonly known as Wat Luang Pho To, Bangkok, is a third-class royal temple in Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok. It is believed to have been built before the Rattanakosin period. It was originally called Wat Bang Khun Phrom Nok. Later, a Laotian living near the temple, named Chao In, who was the uncle of Chao Noi Khiao Khom, the royal consort of King Rama I, carried out a major renovation of the temple. The locals therefore called the temple Wat In to honor the restorer. Later, King Rama VI bestowed the name Wat Intharawihan upon it, possibly causing confusion with Wat Inthararam in Bang Yi Ruea. #worship #Luang Pho To #Luang Pho To #Wat Inthararam

#Bangkok Attractions As the morning light rose over Bangkok, I arrived at Wat Indrovihan on the outskirts of the city. This Buddhist temple is famous for enshrining a 32-meter-tall standing Buddha. Its golden figure can be seen pointing to the sky from afar. The temple is filled with smoke and the atmosphere is peaceful and solemn. I first paid homage to the standing Buddha, feeling the shock brought by its huge figure. I silently prayed in my heart and felt particularly peaceful. Afterwards, I strolled through the temple courtyard and admired the exquisite reliefs on the walls. The Buddhist stories on the reliefs seemed to whisper ancient wisdom in my ears.

Originally named Wat Bang Khun Phrom Nok after the district, King Rama I granted the land for the settlement of Vientiane families. Later, Chao In, the uncle of Chao Noi Khiao Khom, a royal consort of King Rama I, renovated the temple and named it Wat Intharam. Monks from Vientiane, who were former teachers of Somdet Phra Phutthachan (To), were invited to govern the temple. During the reign of King Rama VI, it was renamed Wat Intharavihan to avoid confusion with Wat Intharam in Bang Yi Ruea. The temple is located on Wisut Kasat Road. If walking, you can enter through Soi Samsen 10. If driving, turn left onto Wisut Kasat Road, and you will see the temple gate on the left. Inside, there is a parking building.

The gable features a depiction of Narayana riding Garuda, facing east. There are boundary markers on a high base in eight directions. The principal Buddha image is Luang Pho In, in the Mara Vichaya posture. Inside, there are murals depicting the history of Somdet Phra Phutthachan (To).

#temples Very beautiful and scenic temple. Admission is free. Note that there are currently some restorations being done in some areas of the temple so not all spots may be open for visiting. It is recommended that you wear footwear that can be easily removed as usually they do not allow shoes inside the temple and might ask you to remove them and leave your footwear in front of the door. It is recommended that you visit early if you want to take great pictures with no crowd as the place is not as big as other temples and can get crowded very easily.

The first time to visit the annual fair of Wat Indharaviharn, Bang Khun Phrom, held from March 1-10, 2023, there are merit-making, averting bad luck, solving bad luck, setting up stalls, and a concert stage. The highlight of the annual fair is paying homage to Luang Pho To and entering the holy water well. And the highlight of the food is the watermelon smoothie shop that puts in a lot of watermelon (there is only one shop, not hard to find), including many other foods. And what is not to be missed at the temple fair is the game shop giving away dolls. I saw many people carrying big dolls home and there are concerts throughout the fair. It is considered a temple fair where you can make merit, amulet lovers, food, products, and have fun. You can still visit until March 10, 2023. #TravelThailand #BangkokAttractions #VisitTemples #TempleFair Coordinates: Wat Indharaviharn https://maps.app.goo.gl/q6Y66qKkU27vEcmP7

Come and get the holy water here, it's very good. You must come and try it and take it back to bathe from head to toe, drink it to cleanse the bad things from your body to welcome good things into your life. I recommend the spiritual line. It's located on Wisut Kasat Road. We came from Wat Saket, went straight towards Phan Fa Lilat Bridge, went through Ratchadamnoen Nok Road, then turned left on Wisut Kasat Road, went straight. When you see the temple on the right before going up Rama VIII Bridge, make a U-turn at Bang Khun Phrom Intersection and come back to the temple.
