Silpakam Wat Rachabophit

Bangkok, Thailand

2019

The book Silapakam Wat Ratchabophit was published on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Wat Ratchabophit in 2019. It explores the rich artistic heritage embodied within the temple, tracing its history from the origins of its construction to the artistic works adorning the Vihara (assembly hall) and Ubosot (ordination hall), as well as the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate decorative details found throughout the temple.

The book was conceived with the intention of documenting and preserving the accumulated knowledge of art, architecture, and traditional craftsmanship, ensuring that this invaluable heritage endures alongside the temple for generations to come. It also serves as a source of knowledge and reference for students, scholars, and all those who share a devotion to Buddhism and a passion for exploring the richness of Thai art and cultural heritage.
