Wat Ratchabophit, located in Bangkok, Thailand, is a significant Buddhist temple known for its unique blend of Thai and Western architectural styles. Constructed during the reign of King Rama V in the late 19th century, the temple features a striking central chedi covered in golden tiles, surrounded by a harmonious mix of traditional Thai and European design elements. The interior walls of the ordination hall (ubosot) are adorned with intricate murals, and the temple grounds include the royal cemetery, where members of the Thai royal family are interred.
