Wat Samphran Dragon Temple วัดสามพราน (Bangkok)

 

I may have lived in Thailand for twenty years but I am so happy that Thailand still excites me! Wat Samphran Dragon Temple วัดสามพราน in Bangkok is an amazing place!



There is a standard Wat that you can visit adjacent to the Dragon Temple.


AND I did not even get to see everything.


This was the way inside.



 

Wat Samphran
 (Thai วัดสามพราน) is a Buddhist temple (wat) in Amphoe Sam Phran, Nakhon Pathom province, around 40 kilometers to the west of Bangkok. The temple was officially registered in 1985.

The temple is notable for its 17-story tall pink cylindrical building with a gigantic red-and-green dragon sculpture curling around the entire height. The interior of the dragon sculpture contains a spiraling flight of stairs, which has however deteriorated to a poor condition in places. It also contains a huge Buddha statue as well as many additional Buddhist statues. (Text from Wikipedia)



I found an interesting site with some information -
