Wat Mangkon Kamalawat

What to Do at Wat Mangkon Kamalawat?

Wat Mangkon Kamalawat is the best of the cultural things to do in Chinatown, Bangkok’s largest Chinese Buddhist temple. Built in 1846, the temple’s design is unmistakably Chinese. The statues of the Four Heavenly Kings at the entrance are particularly impressive, though the main Buddha statue in the ordination hall is also impressive.

Effectively the religious and cultural heart of the area, it hosts several major events throughout the year, such as Chinese New Year and the famous Vegetarian Festival.
