Wat Benchamabophit [ White Marble Wat ]
Wat Benchamabophit in Dusit is a relatively modern Temple designed to serve the Royal household. Apart from seeing the well proportioned and lovely temple layout, Wat Benchamabophit also houses the most impressive collection of Thai Buddhist Bronzes. This collection includes original and copied works from all relevant artistic periods of Southeast Asian Buddhist art. The collection is far more extensive than that at Bangkok National Museum. On tourist brochures it is often referred to as the '' white marble Wat '' because it is construction solely with white marble.
