Phra Nakhon District, Wat Ratchanadda, Rattanakosin Island, Bangkok, Thailand ( 8 )
Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram
The Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram along with the Royal Pavilion, is located across the road from the Mahakan Fort in Bangkok. On the corner of Maha Chai road, and Ratchadamnoen Klang road. Construction was started in the reign of Rama III in the 19th century but was only recently completed due to the intricacy of its design. There are five towers of varying sizes, topped by huge iron spikes. The many columns create a labyrinth. The central tower has steps that lead to a shrine at the top. The amulet market behind the temple is well known around Thailand. In 1846, King Nangklao, the third monarch of the Chakri Dynasty, decreed that Wat Ratchanaddaram Worawihan was built in honour of his favourite grand daughter, Princess Somanas Wathanawadee.
The temple is best known for the Loha Prasat, a multi tiered structure 36 metre high and having 37 metal spires, signifying the 37 virtues towards enlightenment. It is the third Loha Prasada in existence, modelled after the earlier ones in India and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. In the past, Loha Prasat was hidden behind an old movie theatre named Chalerm Thai. The theatre was demolished in 1989 as a project to improve the scenery along Ratchadamnoen road.
Loha Prasat first started its life out in 1846 and was fashioned around an earlier Sri Lankan Temple. Originally conceived as a Chedi to compliment the Wat, it has since evolved into an elaborate Meditation Chamber. Meditation cells can be seen at intersections dissected by passages on each level of the building. They all run from north to south and from east to west. I have to say that having been in this part, its very boring, the passageways are like a maze, with very little interest to visitors.
The actual Prasat itself consists of five concentric square towers with the outer, middle and centre structures being crowned with cast iron spires hence the name Metal Castle. Supporting the towers at ground level are hefty laterite columns collectively forming an astonishing labyrinth of corridors. The Metal Castle consists of five towers, of which the outer, middle and centre tower contain large black iron spires. The outer tower is the widest, the next one smaller than the previous one, creating a pyramid like structure.

Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin is a central tourist spot in Bangkok near to the Democracy Monument it is a pavilion or residence for the king when his majesty goes out to meet the Royal visitors. This is a very popular area with many pedestrians and a great deal of heavy traffic. Also in view is Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram in the background and a statue of King Rama III, The bronze statue, which is half size, is seated on a throne. The Fine Arts Department built the monument in 1990. The surrounding area is decorated with beautiful plants, with the Royal Reception Pavilion and three minor pavilions known as Sala Rai nearby.
This is a popular place for photographers, as here is one of the most marvellous golden landmarks in the Phra Nakhon area. When you finish taking photos here you can visit the Mahakan Fortress, The Golden Mount or Wat Saket, Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, Democracy Monument, Queen's gallery, Wat Ratchanatdaram and Loha.

Phra Nakhon District, Rattanakosin Island, Bangkok, Thailand ( 1 )
This is the central district of Bangkok, including the Rattanakosin Island. The districts nearby are Dusit, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Samphanthawong, and across the Chao Phraya River: Thonburi, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat. The district is sub divided into 12 sub districts
Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Wang Burapha Phirom, Wat Ratchabophit, Samran Rat, San Chaopho, Suea Sao Chingcha, Bowon Niwet, Talat Yot, Chana Songkhram, Ban Phan Thom, Bang Khun Phrom, Wat Sam Phraya.
Rattanakosin also known as Rattanakosin Island, is the historic centre of Bangkok, where most of Bangkok's must see sights can be found, including the City Pillar Shrine, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior, the renowned Grand Palace and Wat Pho, Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram,and the Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin, Maha Chai Rd. This is the most visited area in Bangkok due to all the historic and splendid Temples and buildings found here.
Rattanakosin was established in 1782 when King Rama I moved the Siamese capital across the river from Thonburi, starting a period in Thai history known as the Rattanakosin Period. Spending a few days in this ancient part of Bangkok, does not do it justice. There are so many traditional Buddhist temples, palaces, museums, parks and monuments, which also gives you a better understanding of the culture, history and religion of the Thai people.
Bangkok was originally moated and walled with forts at intervals along it ( built in 1783 during the reign of King Rama I ). A canal formed the moat dug at a distance of about two kilometres from the Royal Palace, leaving the river to the north of the city and rejoining it to the south. The moat was 7.2 kilometres long, and it is today called Klong Bang Lamphu and Khlong Ong Ang. Strong and solid walls were constructed along the inner side of this canal, being 3.6 metres high and 2.7 metres thick. It was broken by 16 gates and 14 forts ( Phra Sumen, Yukornton, Mahaprab, Mahakan, Mootaluog, Seurtayan, Mahachai, Charkphet, Phisua, Mahaluok, Mahayak, Phrachun, Phra-Ar-thit, and Isintorn ). Now only two forts are remaining along the former wall: Fort Mahakan and Fort Phra Sumen.
Mahakan Fort was elevated to a National Ancient Monument of Thailand by the Fine Arts Department in 1949. The government wanted to turn the area between the canal and the city wall into a park, but were met with resistance from the community that stay on that land. Now the authorities are looking into turning it into a living museum of vintage houses. I guess thinking it being the fairer method to appease the people living there.
Festivals here are very well attended due to the popularity of the area. Songkran festival, the traditional Thai New Year, is celebrated throughout the country during 13th to 15th April of each year. Khao San Road ( or Khao Sarn Road ) inside Phra Nakhon district is one notable place to celebrate the event where many people, both locals and tourists, come to splash water everywhere. Another famous festival, Loi or Loy Krathong, takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar, which is Thailand's version of the lunar solar Buddhist calendar. The Chao Phraya river bank in the district, with numerous piers and Phra Sumen fort, is a popular place to come to float lanterns in the water.
Ratchadamnoen Road is often heavily decorated with lights around the King's birthday ( 5th December ) and the Queen's birthday ( 12th August ) and other major anniversaries. Sanam Luang and recently created Lan Plabpla Maha Chedsada Bodin in front of Wat Ratchanadda and its Loha Prasat are open spaces that are frequently used to celebrate various events.
King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke founded the city as the capital of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom in 1782. Before Bangkok became the capital of Thailand, the capital city previously was Thonburi. The old city straddled the Chao Phraya, but was mainly settled on the western bank where the royal palace and other institutions were situated. When Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke established himself as king, he re-established the capital on the eastern bank, relocating the settlers to an area around Wat Sam Pluem and Wat Sampheng ( this area is now Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown ) Fortifications were ordered to be rebuilt, and canals extended to form moats around the fortified city. The inner moat, created by connecting Rong Mai Canal and Talat Canal, is now known as Khlong Khu Mueang Doem .

King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke founded the city as the capital of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom in 1782. Before Bangkok became the capital of Thailand, the capital city previously was Thonburi. The old city straddled the Chao Phraya, but was mainly settled on the western bank where the royal palace and other institutions were situated. When Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke established himself as king, he re-established the capital on the eastern bank, relocating the settlers to an area around Wat Sam Pluem and Wat Sampheng ( this area is now Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown ) Fortifications were ordered to be rebuilt, and canals extended to form moats around the fortified city. The inner moat, created by connecting Rong Mai Canal and Talat Canal, is now known as Khlong Khu Mueang Doem .
