Wat Ratchanaddaram
Wat Ratchanaddaram is located nearly the famous Khao San Road (Bangkok’s backpacker enclave), in the Phra Nakhon district. It is however not a very popular tourist attraction – probably because the most interesting thing about it is the Loha Prasat. (sometimes also called metal castle, or black castle).
The Loha Prasat (โลหะปราสาท) is a small palace with black roofs, and it’s modeled after the Loha Prasada in India and Sri Lanka. The cast iron spires that point into the sky are quite a sight.
The temple was built in 1849.
