Why to visit Wat Mangkon Kamalawat
Bangkok's largest Chinese Buddhist temple. It is also known as the Dragon Lotus Temple or Wat Leng Noei Yi in Chinese, and it is tremendously busy during any Chinese festival or occasion, particularly the Chinese New Year. Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, founded in 1871, was the first temple in Bangkok to introduce Mahayana Buddhism.
The golden-colored Buddha is enthroned in the Ordination Hall of this grand Dragon Lotus Temple, which is elegantly ornamented. You'll come across collections of Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian shrines as you make your way through the sombre sermon halls, where guests are continuously lighting incense. The oil in the altar lamps is maintained filled at all times in the goal of keeping the 'Fire' of the present life burning brightly and moving one's soul towards the hereafter. All visitors to Chinatown should pay a visit to Wat Mangkon Kamalawat. It is quite tranquil and lovely, and it provides serenity and calm away from the city's rush and bustle.
