About
Wat Yansangwararam
Founded in 1976 under royal patronage, Wat Yansangwararam (Wat Yan) is a peaceful, spacious complex set around a lake. It features buildings in Thai, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Swiss styles, and the Viharn Sien museum of Chinese art and antiques.
It’s one of the calmest places in the region — a lovely contrast to the energy of the city.

- Replica of the Buddha’s footprint
- Daily meditation sessions
