Wat Niwet Thammaprawat is one of the most unique Buddhist temples that you will ever see indeed. When you step into the marvellous splendour of the place you will certainly wonder if you have entered a beautiful Gothic Church instead of a Buddhist temple in Thailand. The architecture is breathtaking and the interior of the temple is alluring and charming. It will be a perfect place to relax and find allurement and the ideal place to visit after experiencing the sublime luxury of Anantara Cruises, and enjoying the best of the views that Bangkok cruises has to offer. One this is guaranteed for sure, you will not regret visiting the glorious Wat Niwet Thammaprawat when you are in the city of lights.
Built according to the guidance and instructions given by King Rama V, the Wat Niwet Thammaprawat is certainly a beauty to behold. The ancient structures that still stand proclaim boldly the grandeur of yesteryear. The temple has been built to resemble a western cathedral, complete with all essential characteristics that make it a true marvel to behold. At a glance one can certainly not say for sure that this is a temple that receives the homage of Buddhist pilgrims and devotees.
The base that holds the images of Buddha and his followers do not claim similarities to the traditional Chukkachi base. Instead it resembles the base that holds the cross in Christian churches. There are stained glass windows adorning the structures of the Wat Niwet Thammaprawat that are quite similar to the ones found in Churches, heightening the resemblance yet some more. One can find a stained glass window with the image of King Rama V in front of the principal Buddha image Phra Buddha Naruemol Thammophas which is beautifully covered in gold.
A visit to this place of exquisite charm is certainly a must where the bold fusion of the Asian faith and Western architecture is wonderfully displayed.
