Wat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaran is often referred to by Bangkok locals as 'Wat Ben', but overseas visitors may know it better as the Marble Temple. One of Thailand's most famous temples, Wat Benchamabophit features on the back of Thailand's 5-Baht coin. Wat Benchamabophit might not be as grand as Wat Pho or Wat Phra Kaeo, but it is an attractive cluster of buildings with beautiful design features including stained glass windows. And with Wat Ben attracting fewer tourists than the previously mentioned temples, it's well worth a look if you are in the Dusit area. The most famous spot for photography is the arch door at the other side of the entrance., which provides a great frame for the marble temple in the background. Stain glasses, italian marble, golden statue, and European decorations make all a great setup for nice pictures too. The only way to get there is by taxi or moto taxi, so I suggest you make it a stop on the way to Old Town. It's not far from Phaya Thai or Victory Monument, where you can find many cafes and restaurants, like into the woods, secret wonderland or Ahh kard D.
