Wat Ratchaburana

The Crypt of Hidden Treasures

Located right next to Wat Mahathat, Wat Ratchaburana offers one of the most impressive prangs (towers) in the city. What makes this temple special is that you can actually climb down into the crypt inside the main prang. This is where a massive hoard of gold artifacts was discovered (now in the Chao Sam Phraya Museum). Even today, you can see faint traces of ancient murals on the crypt walls.

Opening Time: Daily, 08:00 – 18:30.

Location: Naresuan Road, Tha Wasuk (Opposite Wat Mahathat).

How to get there:

- From Wat Mahathat: Just cross the road! It is literally next door, making it the easiest double-header visit in the park.
