Wat Suan Phlu วัดสวนพลู

Wat Suan Phlu, วัดสวนพลู, is a small temple near the Shangri-La Hotel. It is a relatively authentic example of a Thai-Chinese temple in the heart of Bangkok. All of the buildings except the Ubosot are made of wood. The Ubosot is rather unique in its decorations, in that there is a noticeable absence of gold and the use of blue glass tiles instead. The gables are decorated with a veritable profusion of Angel figures. The wall surrounding the Ubosot is a series of beautifully painted panels that show various mythical settings.
