Wat Bowon Sathan Sutthawat (วัดบวรสถานสุทธาวาส), also widely known as Wat Phra Kaew Wang Na, stands as a quiet yet significant royal temple within the grounds of Bangkok’s former Front Palace, now part of the Bunditpatanasilpa Institute complex near the National Theatre and close to the Bangkok National Museum. Unlike ordinary temples, this sacred site has never housed resident monks, serving instead as the private chapel of the Front Palace in much the same way that Wat Phra Kaew functions within the Grand Palace.
Its story begins in the reign of King Rama I, when Prince Maha Surasinghanat established a small convent called Wat Luang Chi for royal women of Khmer origin to observe religious precepts.
By the time of King Rama II the buildings had fallen into disuse and were cleared to create a rabbit garden. Under King Rama III, Prince Maha Sakdiphonlasep, the Front Palace ruler of the day, dedicated the land to a new temple as an act of Buddhist merit and ...

Ban Mai Market, also known as the 100-Year-Old Ban Mai Market or Baan Mai Riverside Market, stands along the west bank of the Bang Pakong River in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand.
This historic riverside gathering place has long served as a cultural and commercial heart for the local Paet Riu community, offering visitors a glimpse into traditional Thai-Chinese life that feels far removed from the pace of modern cities.
Its roots stretch back more than a century, with the market flourishing as a key trading hub during the reign of King Rama V and earlier connections reaching into the time of King Rama III.
Chinese marine merchants once gathered here amid surrounding plantations of pineapple, sugarcane, and vegetables, exchanging goods when river travel formed the main artery of commerce.
The original riverside market burned down in 1904, after which a new one rose in its place as a living memorial to the Chinese community that had shaped the neighborhood. For decades it thrived with rows of gold ...
