You may think I’ve added the wrong cover photo to a temple, but actually, the two are virtually back to back to each other, one being popular amongst the boxing pundits & gamblers, and the other a little-known gem of a Buddhist temple hidden behind a violent establishment 🙂

Wat Sommanat Worawihan is a historic royal temple in Bangkok known for its elegant architecture and peaceful atmosphere. Built during the reigns of King Rama IV and King Rama V, the temple blends traditional Thai design with subtle Western influences from the late 19th century.

Its quiet courtyards, golden details, and graceful structures make it a beautiful spot for photography and reflection, offering a calm escape within the heart of old Bangkok.
