The Golden Buddha of Wat Traimit

Situated in Bangkok’s Chinatown, the Wat Traimit temple belongs to the Worawihan class of second-class royal temples. Initially known as Wat Sam Chin, it derived its name from the tale of three Chinese individuals who collaborated in its construction. Inside, there are captivating elements such as the Phra Maha Mondop, which was erected in 2008 to house the Golden Buddha. As a result, the temple is officially recognized as Wat Traimit Withayaram Worawihan, and it is also commonly referred to as “The Temple of the Golden Buddha.”
