Wat Pathum Wanaram (Thai: วัดปทุมวนาราม) or Wat Pathum for short is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand. It is located in the Pathum Wan District, between the two shopping malls Siam Paragon and CentralWorld, and across the street of Siam Square.
The temple was founded in 1857 by King Mongkut (Rama IV) as a place of worship near his Sa Pathum Palace. At the time of its founding the area was still only rice fields, only accessible via the Khlong Saen Saeb. The temple is a third class royal temple of the Thammayut Nikaya order. The full name of the temple is Wat Pathum Wanaram Ratcha Wora Viharn (วัดปทุมวนารามราชวรวิหาร).
Very beautiful Thai Buddhist temple right near the metro station and the shopping mall. Not very large but very much worth a visit. Not very crowded, which is good for a relaxed visit. Easy access from the nearby mall and the train station. The insides of the temple are very well decorated and maintained. Essence of Buddhism is reflected in this place.

A peaceful place amid the chaos of the city of Bangkok. If you are looking for a quiet pace to sit or somewhere to make merit then this Temple is certainly for you. The Wat has large gardens for you to walk in and then a Hall for you to enter if you wish - Ratchasattha Hall

a small but beautiful temple complex in the heart of the city. a peaceful oasis amidst the hustle and bustle, surprisingly few tourists visit
