Wat Leng Noei Yi (龙莲寺) is the most important traditional Chinese Buddhist temple in centered of Chinatown, Bangkok. Most Thai-Chinese people here come to pray for life blessing and the temple will be crowded during Chinese New Year and Vegetarian festival. Open daily and free entrance.
A Chinese Buddhist temple in Chinatown, Bangkok. Very beautiful decorations, very open - you can just walk in and participate if you want, or watch the monks and visitors.
A Buddhist Temple in Chinatown, Bangkok Typical Chinese Buddhist Temple. Busy with lots of smoke from the incense so people will respiratory issues like asthma may want to stay outside. Close to the new MRT station in Chinatown which is scheduled to open later this year. Within walking distance to several eateries and walking streets.
I was here on the Chinese New Year, which made the experience very special. But even on other days, this place should be worth the visit. It felt very local and seriously buddhist (if that makes sense). It's a Chinese temple though, so quite different from others in Thailand
