Wat Thepsirintharawas Rajaworavihara (Wat Thepsirin)
วัดเทพศิริน(Th) Wat Debsirindrawas Ratchaworawiharn (Wat Thepsirin) (วัดเทพศิรินทราวาสราชวรวิหาร) Wat Debsirindrawas Ratchaworawiharn is a second class royal temple built at the command of King Rama V as a dedication to his mother, Queen Debsirindra, and named Wat Debsirindrawas. The construction was started in 1876 and finished two years later in 1878. Wat Thepsirintharawas Rajaworavihara (Wat Thepsirin) is situated near the Kasatsuek Bridge and Hua Lam Phong Railway Station. King Rama V ordered its construction in1876 in memory of Queen Thepsirin, who was his mother. In 1893 he ordered a royal crematorium be constructed on the temple grounds. This was intended for royalty who were not given a state funeral at Sanam Luang and for the general public. It was unusual because normally a royal temple does not have a crematorium. On one side of the temple is the well-known Thepsirin School, and on the other side is the monastic residence area and a crematorium for royalty and other important personages. Important structures include the phra ubosot, which is large and beautifully decorated with lai rod nam designs, the door and window frames. The ceiling are carved with designs depicting royal decorations. In the phra ubosot are enshrined many important Buddha images, such as the Phra Nirantarai, which is the official image of the Fourth Reign, installed in 1 878 according to the wish of King Rama IV. There is also the Isariyaphorn Pavilion, which was constructed by order of King Rama V for the cremation of Princess Isariyaphorn in 1894, the first cremation to be held at the temple. Since then this pavilion has been used by all monarchs when attending royal cremations at this temple.
