AboutClearly one of the 1st temples in Bangkok, much like the nearby temple closer to BTS Saphan Taksin, Wat Yannawa it was one of the 1st along Chareon Krun (the 1st road). The temple has it's own Pier which at the time of its creation would have been par for the course as the only main means of transport along the Chao Phraya river. The Pier is a recognise Express Ferry Pier S2 (being South pier 2) from Main central Pier Sathorn about 2kms North. On arrival at the Pier you welcomed by a massive sleeping buddha and on each should of the platform at tradition authentic Thai massage centres at prices so low you can't believe. This temple is an alternative to Wat Pho Massive sleeping Budda on the their Pier (awesome sunset photos) many Thai Massage shops (Pier and Soi) Passing platform on the left will lead you to the temple, it's so yet in astonishing good condition. The right side of the platform is a series of extended shelters, remembering that a long time ago this was a place of community and space was afforded for regular events Operating time: 08.00 - 17.00 History Wat Vorachanyawas since 1,790 when it was founded famous for Traditional Thai Massage with over 100 Thai licensed men & women practicing Thai massage as part of Thai Buddhismวัดวรจรรยาวาส- วัดแห่งนี้สร้างอยู่ริมแม่น้ำเจ้าพระยา หน้าวัดหันหน้าสู่แม่น้ำ เขตของวัดด้านเหนือติดกับคลองบางขวาง จึงเรียกว่า “วัดบางขวางล่าง” ขุนท่องสื่อ โสณกุลได้ทำการบูรณะและปฏิสังขรณ์วัดขึ้นใหม่ในสมัยรัชกาลที่ 2 เมือปี 2341 ....... ธรรมาสน์บุษบก ฝีมือช่างในสมัยกรุงศรีอยุธยาตอนกลาง เป็นบุษบกที่มีลักษณะและศิลปะลวดลายงดงามลงตัวอย่างยิ่ง เก็บรักษาอยู่ที่ศาลาการเปรียญ Whats here apart from the temple, the area adjacent under the connecting sheltered roof tops are many old authentic Thai massage shops as well as many historical statues which you will see as you walk out the Soi to the main road. from the main road (Charoen Krung) you can head in any direction remembering this is an old ancient area of town so there is a real mixing pot of history immersed with modern day structures, just look along the river, between the old temples and abandoned warehouses are monster high rise luxury condos Check in S.M.
