WAT RATCHABURANA RATCHAWORAWIHAN

A Chinese trader named Liap who lived in the late Ayutthaya period built this temple, so it is called Wat Jeen Liap, Jeen means "Chinese ” . In time, the word Jeen was dropped, leaving on the words Wat Liap.

When King Rama I was crowned, HSH Prince Thepharipitak restored it as a Royal temple and named it Wat Ratchaburana, which was the name of capital's temple in the Sukhothai period.

Prang: Built in the reign of King Rama II and has 28 notches on its five-level lotus base. Each level is surrounded by figures of demons, and the top of the prang is a crown with a noppasoon (Siva's weapon).

Ubosot: During World War II, this area was damaged by bombing. The present ubosot was rebuilt to the design of Prof. Luang Wisan Silpaka (Cheua Patamachinda).

Part of its historical importance is that Khrua In Khong, the monk praised as a master artist at the court, was ordained at this temple. He was "a pioneer of incorporating the European style into traditional Thai art by introducing perspective"
