Built-in 1869, Wat Ratchabophit near Grand Palace is King Rama IV’s historic royal temple flaunting a 43-metre-tall golden bell-shaped stupa surrounded by manicured courtyards. Showcasing stunning handmade mosaics across its giant pink walls, gilded black lacquer, drum towers and spires, this tile-clad temple and cemetery is among Thailand’s most incredible regal temples blending Sri Lankan and Italian architecture.
