Wat Pathum Wanaram monk

Soi Dog and Monk @ Wat Pathum Wanaram

Buried behind the wiharn at Wat Pathum Wanaram, a small village of monk quarters, student housing, and villager residences offers a peak into Bangkok’s somnolent rural past. An old neighborhood now encased between ginormous shopping malls, the wat offers visitors an oasis of serenity, a chance to cool down, rest, and reflect before heading back out to the bustling streets for yet more shopping.
