Bangkok Marble Temple - Great Attractions (Bangkok, Thailand)
- 13 years ago
Take a tour of Bangkok Marble Temple in Bangkok, Thailand - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Its Thai name is something of a mouthful, so this Buddhist temple is usually simply called the Marble Temple.
Construction of the temple began in Bangkok in 1899, and became one of the city's most beautiful structures.
The white walls and pillars gleam brilliantly under the tiered orange and golden roof.
The Marble Temple is one of the few Buddhist temples to incorporate the use of stained glass windows.
Inside of the temple is a large number of statues and images of Buddha, in a wide variety of styles, poses, and sizes.
The temple complex is actively used as a site of worship, and also contains a national museum.
