Wat Mangkon Kamalawat - Bangkok’s Largest Chinese Temple - Chinese New Year 2023 วัดมังกรกมลาวาส

Wat Mangkon Kamalawat วัดมังกรกมลาวาส, previously (and still commonly) known as Wat Leng Noei Yi วัดเล่งเน่ยยี่, simplified Chinese: 龙莲寺; traditional Chinese: 龍蓮寺, is the largest and most important Chinese Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand.

Wat Mangkon Kamalawat was founded as a Mahayana Buddhist temple in 1871 or 1872, by Phra Archan Chin Wang Samathiwat (also known as Sok Heng), initially with the name Wat Leng Noei Yi. It was later given its current name, Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, meaning "Dragon Lotus Temple", by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V).

It’s a very interesting temple with things like the 3 deities and the 4 guardians.
