Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit วัดมหาธาตุยุวราชรังสฤษฎิ์ - First Class Royal Temple - Bangkok
Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit วัดมหาธาตุยุวราชรังสฤษฎิ์ is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand. It is one of the 10 royal temples of the highest class พระอารามหลวง ชั้นเอก ชนิดราชวรมหาวิหาร in Bangkok.
Built during the Ayutthaya period (1351-1767), the temple was then known as Wat Salak. Soon after Bangkok was established as the capital of Siam, now Thailand, the temple became strategically situated between the newly built Grand Palace and Front Palace (residence of the vice-king). As a result, the temple was used for royal ceremonies and funerals and it became a very important temple.
Throughout the past two centuries, the temple has been renovated and elevated in status by many Thai kings and royals. It became the Wat Mahathat of Bangkok in 1803 and was given its current name in 1996. The temple is also home to Vipassana Meditation centre.
The temple is well worth a visit. The grounds are very well maintained and overshadowed by some of the other temples in the area like Wat Pho and Wat Phra Kaew. If you have an extra hour or two I would recommend a stop.
